    Clear coat over latex paint

    . Well, I guess not being a painter - adhesion never even crossed my mind. In my "day job" we put ink on paper and there are adhesion measurements that we do here regularly. Simplest one is a simple tape test and I would imagine that would be something to be done with paint as well. Stick...

    Water pump type? Flowkooler

    . Don't normally get to say it - but - Ain't that the truth! These are really neat trucks in stock form, but they aren't overrun with horsepower for sure. Of course going fast isn't really what they were built for either.

    Water pump type? Flowkooler

    . The article mentioned that the original pump was 87gpm. That 130 was a pretty significant increase...

    What’s this part from?

    . Looks like you have a nice patch of woods to play in down there in Easley.

    New From Florida

    . Welcome to the Outfit! There are quite a few of "the regulars" here that are down in Florida with you. Definitely worth looking into being part of the MV assocation too. That gives you more events and things to need to drive your truck to :) Participating in parades is always fun too...

    M548a1

    . My first was the old M4 Tractor. Lots of loads. Hangs off both sides of a standard lowboy and metal tracks on metal trailer is a lot like pulling a greased string out of a billygoat's butt.

    Anti-theft measures?

    . You and @Action are both right. Yeah. The rivet isn't much but like a lot of other things - all it really does is keep honest people honest. And with a switch on a military dash - yanking out two wires and touching them together is like the locking gas cap. Only concern that I have about...

    Third's Build Discussion

    . I didn't know that @Third From Texas was in the K9 Corps :) Maybe we need to upload the Smooth Operator Handbook to the TM Section... Then again too, we would have to take a test to qualify for the download. .

    M548a1

    . Well Chuck... Guess I was so wound up in my excitement about the "hey drop it off at my place" joke that I completely forgot to look for a -10 operators guide. Good find and a real useful link too! When I started thinking about unloading a tractor, I just kept thinking about the first time I...

    Third's Build Discussion

    . Looks to me like your partner in crime down by the surf is oogling the babes as they walk up the beach. .

    Anti-theft measures?

    . Ahhh... Sorry. Yeah, that is definitely a first class way to go. The little metal box is good too, but not as cool as the key fob.

    M548a1

    . Just have the driver drop it off and my place... I would be happy to drive it off the trailer :cool: In all honesty, the visuals out of the front isn't half bad. If you are backing it off the trailer you will be completely dependent on your hauler. Chances are he or she will be as...

    Anti-theft measures?

    . So... I have a question. How $350? I found the lock pictured in this thread for $25 on ePay. Even without the padlock and adding shipping you should easily come in at well under a hundred bucks. Did I miss something? And this particular lock appears that it could be used on a M936 for...

    New to me Deuce with matching trailer - wrenching post

    . Seems like several of the guys have bought a gallon of fluid and had very little left after a replacement of the MC and a full system bleed

    Why these hoops around the rear shackle hooks?

    . It is hard to tell - but on this particular truck - do the tires stick out beyond the end of the frame? Where maybe if the tractor couldn't be pushed because a set of bumperettes would suggest that a driver could push something that shouldn't be pushed? OR maybe that these machines would...

    D9R Track Type Tractor Caterpillar Service Training.

    . Ain't nuthing like having a book... Even if it isn't exactly the right book - some information is always better than guessing! :)

    D9R Track Type Tractor Caterpillar Service Training.

    . Sir, does that mean that you are a HOE? :cool: Yep. If it clicks or clacks or goes UddnUdden, we work on it!

    Clear coat over latex paint

    . Completely UNRELATED to a vehicle, but a matte finish on wood doesn't hold up nearly as well as a high gloss finish. The short version of WHY is that the matte is created with (as explained to me) lacquer thinner. Guessing there is an equivalent in water based paint. It will suck a lot...
