Should not affect you, but westbound I-20 at Camden is closed because of a ' catastrophic failure' of the bridge overe the river. In the Aiken-Agusta-Ga area you have @EMD567, me in the Columbia area (only as a contact for others with far more skills), @wreckerman893 in the Anniston, AL area...

Spin-on's are the way to go!

I remember having to temporarily fix one of those lines on a deuce because the two 'nylon' lines had rubbed together and one wore through first (not my truck). Temp fix was to put some rubber hose over the bad part with the slit on the opposite side, then use a number of hose clamps to 'seal'...

I'll enter too.

Yes, and it even has a 17 digit 'vin number'.

We had problems with deuce engines in Southeast Asia, but it was mainly 18 year olds red-lining the engines to avoid ambushes (or try to get out of them). At one point they shut down the production line for complete trucks just so they could ship engines (by air) to replace the ones that blew...

if anyone does object, ask them if painting it bright pink would change their mind.:D

The Hercules/White engine was used in farm tractors (Oliver line) and they lasted 9,000-12,000 hours before a rebuild, but were hardly ever revved above 2200 rpm's. How many hours on your engine? 9000 hours at 40 mph is 360,000 miles.

The KISS principle!

What part of Georgia are you in? Reason I ask is that I have a couple of MEP-002 engines of unknown operating condition, but appear complete located in the Columbia, SC area.

Stephan wood products in Michigan makes them.

We just got back from the Monroe, NC Air show, the next event we are scheduled for is the Battle of Aiken in late February. There is an upstate group in Greenville-Spartanburg affiliated with the MVPA. I don't know how active they are.

The wire comes out the bottom of the shaft on the front of the steering gear. The wire that goes up in the shaft has a seal on the bottom. Try to trace the wire from the horn across the engine compartment over to the bottom of the steering column and you will find it. The -24, -24&P manuals...

Or an exposed wire inside the steering column closes the ground. Trace the wire from the horn all the way to the steering column and make sure there are no faults there. Next step is to replace the wire inside the steering column.

The larger diameter of the pipe will reduce back pressure, so, if I were doing it about every 8 to 10 feet the pipe diameter would be increased by 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, starting right at the generator. Probably want to go up first. You will still have to deal with wet stacking on a long run -...

Read the line right under the "Save the date" in the first post.

Stephan Wood Products in Michigan makes the fiberglass troop seat slats and they come pre-drilled. They also do special orders for custom lengths. There are threads from several years ago about them.

One of the main reasons I'm passing the MKT along to younger folks is the maintenance between uses. When I was in my 60's I could open up (for use) an MKT in an hour by myself, and close it up for travel in the same amount of time. Now that I'm in my upper 70's each job takes twice as long and...

Wait till you see Tommy's truck with the new wheels. He needs an extension ladder to get into the cab!
