"Red Lead" Primer? Four of the IHC gassers that passed through my hands sported the flat red underneath the peeling OD, and some 1950's NOS parts I bought over the years came with only a couple coats of red lead... Whenever I see the red it reminds me of the movie Operation Petticoat with the...

Welcome to the Cornbinder Club .. I can't make out your S/N nor year , mine is a '53 ,, and it looks like yours has the newer (M809-style) power steering .. I don't see the "A-Frame" sticking up above the fender nor below the fender .. I bet there's a hydraulic cylinder hooked to a pitman on...

The holley is a model 885-JJ and they run very rich ... Evil Dr. Porkchop took over the operations and location of an older friend of mine (and his) ... I bought the Zenith upgrade carb from the joint friend about 15 years ago and at the time he had more than a few NOS ones there .. They run...

It is a compression-type fitting, and it is an Ermeto ... It was a brand name once upon a time, and I believe Parker obtained the tooling and dies to make them, except, I was told the size used on M62's was a one-shot-military-spec and NLA since the 1950s.... A certain metric size comes close...

... .and will push Fire !! ,, especially when backfiring, or working hard, or "burping" easily down a long downgrade.... We didn't call them "brushburners" for nothing .. Be careful with the fuel tank on the exhaust side, usually they have the vent-type fuel caps although the only issues I...

the carb butterflies are fully open by default on Holley-equipped R6602's .. That is something I never liked since my 1st day in an R6602 6x6, it is what causes them to cough, bang, and backfire badly when cranking them cold, especially in cold weather.. I see you have the holley.. A...

another thing I forgot to mention was windshield washer fluid.. a buddy of mine buys barrels of it for loading tractor & equip tires but you probably only need 5 gallons or so for what you want to do

true not new new,,,,, but new to me as of about 7 years ago , which flew by .. so might as well have been yesterday :LOL:

Will, if engine not running the wheel will turn stiff but it is do-able even for us old guys as long as the truck is moving .. Yes it won't be good on the neck and shoulders and it is better leverage and likely be easier if you open the door and stand on the running board and pull on the wheel...

When i eventually landed in a NG tank BN, I had previously not driven nor seen any gas 6x6's during my active duty time, everything was diesel or multifuel.. But this armor BN was still fielding a pair of M62 gassers and relied on them 200 percent, purposely avoiding multifuel versions.. They...

Will, do you already have a source and brand/pn's to swap that M62 over to "normal" hose and fitts and hook into the existing steel pipe? It looks like you have the A-W boom on it.. As you may know, the Ermeto fitts on the M62 were supposedly a 1-time special-order size exclusive to the A-W...

Nice truck but sorry to hear it's a multifuel.. Your top speed will be limited compared to other engines that came in those trucks , and the taller the tires, the more HP it's gonna take to turn them and maintain speed.. Does it have the overdrive 5th? (push forward on the shifter) .. Direct...

I have put filtered/de-oiled second-hand AF from junkyards in my farm tractor tires for decades since the traditional calcium chloride is so corrosive it rots the rims out with the slightest leak in a tube or valve stem in a matter of a few years .. Of course we do this for tractive weight, not...

I can't help you with ideas as my main mep003 is on its original trailer and the other pair of 003's are stationary in the genshed .. Those were moved into place using a bucketloader that set them upon several 2" pipes laid at the doorway , which then were used Roman-style to roll and steer the...

I slowly get up real close to them and whisper sweet nothings into the air intake.. If that don't move them, they get a kick in the pants ! :D

I gave him credit for waiting but didn't think 2 days would be enough.. Yet it worked in his case.... Re-harrowing a field long ago I decided to try hitting a soggy spot I avoided the day before... It looked drier, so let's try it .. The narrow-front sank and "wheelbarrowed" the tractor to a...

I have not searched for any since the time I bought the one I 've had on hand for several years... Someone else will sure pipe in on availability if they know, and whether greaseables are available

Be brave!! You don't need a winch (nor a wench).. All you need are some chains, shovels, a couple snatchblocks, 400ft of 2" hemp rope preferably in two lengths, chainsaw, jacks, blocks, planks, small tools (for removing rear fender flaps if need be) , and enough Soldier B's to man them ! If...

I totally concur, as well as the idiocy of continuing to bury something deeper .. But like most reality shows, the idiocy is likely intentional for show, and let's not forget the drama .. Can't stand those shows where people that should know better are either coerced by the producer into doing...

Took a little time out from another task to get a good look at the T/O bearing etc. in the daylight , it was getting dark when I dropped the tranny yesterday .. I see today the bearing is the correct one and sure enough the grease fitting is only for the yoke.. Well , somewhere awhile back...
