I worked on getting a better fuel delivery set up, so that I can move the M37 around Ferro's compound. WIth that goal in mind, I purchased a 5 gal plastic gas can from wally world, trashed the sorry spout, and drilled a hole in the rest for the fuel line. 10' of fuel line, and electric fuel...

When Ferro ended up stuck in the river..... "Well, Gimpy told me to go this way"............

The 800's and 900's are very different trucks. The 800 is bare bones, just enough to get the job done. The 900's are more ergo friendly- They have bigger cabs, sound proofing, auto's and air brakes. If I owned a 900, I would prolly drive it more- just a more comfortable ride. However- nothing...

I would also stay outside the beltway, and ride the metro in to town. Much better parking, and you have a decent chance that the tires will still be on your vehicle when you return.

The top is a piece of work. Who ever put it together did a great job, with nice welds and all corners smoothed and finished off.

As Ferro stated, it was a turn and burn recovery. I wanted to go up on Friday, but my coworker's mother passed away, and I had to cover his run to Atlanta. Got off the big truck at 0815 Saturday morning, drove from work to Ferro's house, where Murphy had been at work. Finally got murphy on...

Another fine ferro and emd567 adventure i have just found an m37 and we are in the process of coming home.

You haven't lived until you drive a UPS delivery van in rural SC, and the SC air national guard uses your truck as a mobile aiming point. I would never see the first two- only hear them. By the time the second two went by, all I saw was the ass end of a F16, getting it for all it was worth, as...

Thats okay- M814 ran great back to the house. Heater works great. I will catch up with the lights when I get the two new batteries.

I know. They were burned out at the Ga rally, and I just haven't replaced them yet.

Just an update on the "Long Easy". After 2 plus years, it appears that I have finally sold the genny that has ridden in the back of my M814. 2 plus years of having to walk, work, load, stare, wish, dream and a whole lot of other things. So, to prepare the genny for it's new home, I drove the...

Ugh

Chat is down. Other than being a little slow(which may be my internet provider) site seems okay.

It hasn't met my right foot.............:driver:

Fill the tank, load up on lots of sea foam, or diesel Kleen, and a gallon of 2 cycle oil. Then get in it, drive 150 miles in one direction in the interstate, just as hard as you can. Turn around, come home, just as hard as you can. THEN see how she runs, and idles.

I would check GSA, and see if they have a 1 ton stake body,like a chevy 3500 with a flat bed. Then you could use the stake body for smaller loads, and it will also pull a trl for the larger loads. Or, something like Ferro just purchased. Small IH straight truck, flatbed, maybe 3 ton.

Schools open, county and state open, Federal and banks closed. Now on Confederate vet day? State, county and schools closed, Federal and banks open........Go figure.

Already hording the diesel fuel so that the 814 can make the trek again this year......

**** shame I have to work at my real job.........:mrgreen:

Good deal. Don't those function as gennys also?
