Mike, I've tried several locations, but my balloons are still blank. Do you suppose it's because of my vasectomy? Eric

Maybe it's just me or my computer skills, but the member map is worthless to me. The "balloons" are all blank. And at one point I know I agreed to be an assistance member, but the mark where my entry should be is red. There must be a better way. Eric CBVET

RE: Shelter I'd like one of those S280's too! I'd figure out a way to load it. Would make a great beer cooler for the Kokomo veterans reunion. Eric CBVET

Are you filtering that oil & using it as diesel fuel? If so, how are you filtering it & are you using it straight or in a blend? This winter I've been running 25% used motor oil filtered to 5 microns, & regular gas. Eric CBVET

I recently got a Benmar heater control just like the one Ethan showed earlier. Doesn't have the High/Low switch as typically used with the Southwind personnel heater. I'm thinking this may work okay with the Southwind coolant heater I have. I don't think High/Low is important for that unit. I...

I heard from a guy who says he has some new Goodyear tires at a decent price. Did the military use Goodyear radial 1400R20's ? Or does he probably have NDT tires? Thanks again, Eric

Great idea Marti, I'll pass that along. He has a well equipped farm shop & can surely do this. The bad part is, now you've got me thinking about other things I could run off my single output PTO. Any idea what the PTO RPM is at a given engine speed? Thanks, Eric CBVET

A buddy has a 1975 Am General M813A1 with winch. He wants to put a dump bed with hoist from another (civilian) truck on this chassis. Wants to know whats required to run the hoist. I'm guessing he needs a PTO with front & rear outputs to run the pump, right? Anyone know where to get a dual PTO...

Berg tells me the 1400s he has now are in bad shape. I'm still looking around. Eric CBVET

Where are these $175 tires? The only similar used tires in my area, are 1600-20s for $300 each. With the current cost of fuel, & possibly time off work to get tires, I don't have a lot of choices. I frequently read about great deals guys get on trucks, parts, tires, etcetera, but shipping or...

Yes, that is my question. I've never heard of this kind of repair. They say $45 to $125 over the phone. Eric CBVET

Got this in response to my inquiry to Berg tire. REPLY, THE 14.00R20'S I HAVE ARE IN POOR SHAPE. I HAVE 16.00R20 IN GOODYEAR OR MICHELIN. PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU. THANKS Allen Richie 134 S. Racepath St. Fayetteville, NC 28301 Ph: 910-485-8800 Cel: 910-584-0310 Fax...

One of my 1400 R 20 Michelins has a sidewall break, that leaks air. I've been thinking about a boot in the tire & adding a tube. Stopped in at a Michelin truck tire dealer in South Bend today to see about it. Guy there said he could replace a "section" of the tire, with new material vulcanized...

RE: PTO Gaskets These gaskets were readily available, but I would have made some up using the old Ball Pein hammer method if these weren't convenient. Just takes a few minutes if you keep some gasket material around. And every shop should. Eric CBVET

PTO Gaskets These were in stock at my local NAPA. Eric CBVET

Thanks guys. I just emailed Berg & Rodney. Eric CBVET

1400R20 Michelin XLs on my M813A1 are showing some sidewall cracks, & I want to start replacing them. I'm especially concerned about the fronts. Anyone know where I can get some new or really nice used tires? If originals aren't a viable option, what else should I look for? I've got the 20-bolt...

I'm about 80 miles away. Will help if I can. Eric CBVET

I made a tracing of the PTO mounting surface & went to NAPA. They had gaskets in stock. No shims available though. Eric CBVET

FYI FMJ, Chisel & hammer fit any size nut! And it's a commonly used method. Eric CBVET
