RE: Re: RE: Battery terminal meltdown Saw this problem on a truck in 'Nam. Official Seabee fix was using a mold that wrapped around the bad post, then filling it in with melted lead. Worked fine. I like Mangus's idea though. You ought to be able to cut the damaged post off with a hacksaw, file...

I know NOTHING about the 5.9 Cummins, but at the cost of diesel, I'd try 10% or so first & see how it runs. Eric CBVET

In with Mighty Mite parts, found 2 Mule brake shoes. FSN 2530-065-7542. They are probably relined, may be new. Definitely new linings. Anybody need them? Offer some kind of trade. I have Mite & 2 M35s. Collect some other militaria. Eric CBVET

I've been trying to find the right color code for a while. All I remember is that everything was dirty & GREEN. After leaving several messages, I finally spoke to the curator at the Seabee museum. They have no records indicating paint color, but recently got a couple of pristine 'Nam vehicles...
