    Acceptable price for WMO

    I really don't want to get into the 'free oil' stuff because as mentioned, but could easily cost more to filter the mud, dead mice etc than simply pay a decent price and get good oil (well.. better). I looked into water testers and they run $200... I was hoping to find a cheap way to get a...

    Acceptable price for WMO

    I kinda figured I might have to pay for a barrel, also.... and my ad did say I needed the barrel. I only made an offer (and I did say it was negotiable) and I have two others I have yet to call. I can see paying $1 a gallon... I know that I am getting a deal at the price. In 2 months I...

    Acceptable price for WMO

    I put an ad on Craigslist to buy used motor oil.. 55gallon min. I got 3 hits right away for 50, 55, and 160 gallons. I offered the guy with 3 55gallon drums $0.50 gallon ($28 a barrel) which I consider a fair price. So far no reply. To low? I have no problem paying for WMO as long as its...

    WW II Vehicle Marking Reference

    Most of the AR-850s on the net are the very early 41-42 version. There where 43 and later versions that superseded it.

    WMO Sources

    The hydro lock is not specific to water/coolant, just any large amount of fluid that would have leaked from the injectors and pooled into the combustion chamber. You can hydrolock your engine with pure diesel (remember diesel is a liquid.. but when finely misted it will burn). Water in the...

    carburetor needed

    If you can post the numbers off the ID disk that would be helpful. Most zenith carbs are impossible to identify without the ID disk numbers.

    carburetor needed

    If you have the proper air cleaner I would go with the 28AV11. Its a civvy carb, so that means that parts are widely available. The cast iron carb was military only, and parts/rebuild kits can be a bugger to find. Unless you take your truck off road you will not encounter the issued that lead...

    Cargo bows and canvas

    Wood seats last quite a long time.. I would not rule them out if I saw a set for a good price.

    waste thinner for fuel?

    Most of the chemicals in thinners are the exact same chemicals in the cleaning agents people dump in their tanks to clean out the fuel system. It all depends on the ratio. I would not go more than a few % and only on a mostly full tank.

    CCKW decals

    I have finished the decals for the CCKW engine. Attached is a screen shot of the decals (not to size... they are whatever the thumbnail viewer displayed them as). These will be actual water slip decals (unless the printer has any reservations about such large decals). More info is at...

    $30 WMO filtering

    My oil is clean, from my own cars... and I really don't have a lot of it (maybe 10 gallons saved up). So I bought three sock filters (50,10,1 micron) and two 5 gallon buckets (bought new so would not have to worry about cleaning them). Pics are self explanatory. The socks hole about 2...

    Fuel sticker violation in NC

    Found one. The public health law manual - Google Books I have not read the cited case... but it appears that they need a warrant for administrative searched unless exigent circumstances are noted. There is one caveat... the truck was parked in his private driveway, not on a public street, so...

    Fuel sticker violation in NC

    As I posted, you refuse to let them dip your tank you will be cited. Now if you can convince the judge that they had no legal reason to dip your tank then you are golden. I have only read that one case from Illinois, but the logic of the appellete court in that situation was pretty clear...

    welder purchase questions

    Bringing to Aberdeen 2011

    I just got back and had a great time. The display vehicles were great and I saw a lot of parts that are going to be put on the 'get them next year list'. Although most of my $$$ went to jeep parts, I did score a used cargo cover and a budd wrench for Milla the M35a2. Yeager (my yellow lab)...

    Need DMV help from NJ members

    I guess you used up all your good M35 karma when you got two runners with good brakes :)

    Got my SF-97.. its a FL title !?!?!

    I just got my Registration, weight class sticker and title today. Everything is correct and proper. While I did have to call DLA and 2 chats with GL, the entire process was as smooth as it it could have been. I may have spent 30 min on the phone and in chat sessions to Sheppard the...

    1/4 ton trailer

    When you say Willys do you mean MBT or M100 or what? I know of no WWII 1/4ton trailer that was a generator, the Ben Hur 1 ton trailer DID have a dedicated generator model... and THAT would be worth a pretty penny. Lots of PE-95s looking for a home. If its not a WWII model then I have no...
