Received SF97 Today. Now on to Mo. DMV with dated paperwork to try and get Mo. Title and either Farm plates or Historic Vehicle plates. Outstanding, I can drive the truck on roadway and use the truck for some local errands, even though I have been using it around the farm. PHasty, Thanks for...

Welcome from cucvmule! :tank:

Hello and welcome to the forum. If you haven't yet, spend some time and bounce around the forum for TONS of useful information. :tank:

The green belts are great for lawn tractors. Long ago my lawn tractors liked to eat the deck belts. The wife worked for AC Delco, and one of the experts there said to use the green belts on anything that took any kind of abuse. Now deck belts can and do take extreme use. Now I use the green...

Having welded two already that is a very good place to look, or grab and pull on.

Mg84648, that is one repair or maintenance area, the propeller shaft that gets overlooked and abused. That is one assembly that when repaired makes you feel great about catching the problem before carnage happens. Did the new universal joints come with grease fittings? Now part of routine...

What yard is the truck in Volvo if you don't mind me asking. What year?

Thanks for all the experienced information. I almost pulled the trigger on the 105 but after seeing the monster spring pack I surmised that the trailer must be for a larger truck and decided that I need further information. I will most likely get a set of 37's, just for grins but want to be as...

Looks like the 101 series is a better fit. I had seen the 105s for sale and thought that for the money I might try one. But with weight, brakes, height, the 105 is for larger truck. I will start scouting for 101 series. Thanks for the replies.

I was afraid of that with 9.00x20 tires I thought the ride heights would be to different. The brakes would be great to work when loaded but maybe just for parades it would be ok. Thanks Evil Dr. Porkchop, is there a trailer that would work?

I was wanting to purchase a 105A2 to pull behind my 1008 but don't know if the 105 is too tall to drag behind an unmodified 1008. Since we have National Guard Engineer Units nearby I wanted to have a pioneer setup to have for parade duty in town. Or does the 1008 need to be lifted to be at...

Well that gives me some hope, although I haven't received any emails as of yet.

I have to agree with snowtrack nome about fuel filter. After changing I always pour out the fuel in filter into a glass jar and look at closely after settlement. Helps to see if it is water, dirt, rubber hose, or the worst, RUST. As for the dim light, wire chaffing, or sensors would be my...

Pilot bearing issue? Maybe sticking out? I wasn't aware of different crank flange thickness. I agree with cucvrus, do not make it complicated. If the starter is shimmed an 1/8 inch, wow that is a lot, it is trial and error at this point. Try it and be ready to pull cable, turn off key. Pull...

900743 I wonder if Iron Planet could just print up the necessary documents for the supplier of the forms? With that kind of authorization the sales of equipment would have the paperwork at time of sale. I am sure that the Deep State has a firm grip on the documents.

Chaffing of wiring is one fire hazard that is not wanted or needed. Also clean connection of all circuits prevents overheating of wires. Prevention now beats problems later when away from home base. Hoses and their connections also need protection from chaffing and vibration, the elements also...

Thanks PHasty for the information. I for one are glad that there is an entity that represents? the Fed. and the purchaser in selling and buying surplus hardware. Not knowing when is hard because of the apprehension to start motoring in "my" MV. Get caught driving without tags is bad enough, but...

I hope that The Great State of Missouri is a little more sympathetic. What really BURNS my arse is that you pay an extra 50.00 bucks for a document, and as a buyer you sign on and meet your obligation. Yet they state the time that they are going to meet and act as in good faith they will meet...

I am still waiting on my SF97. Cant wait to get tags. Then have to decide how to tag? How about some advice on best tags for CUCV in Missouri? Will historic tags work? Thanks MV Owners

Fortunately the flat will run forever with proper or improper maintenance. Find a new set of points, rotor, and carb kit while they are still reasonable priced. Todays gasoline is like poison to these engines, either find real gasoline without alcohol or start an additive regimen. Somebody will...
