Kenny, actually he rented it from a local Home Depot. Cheaper than the fuel for dragging it 1400 miles round trip. Chris is a very highly skilled heavy machinery operator! That MEP-002A is 32.5 inches wide and the door opening is 34.5 inches wide. He made it look easy! I'm very happy for...
And as I write, Chris is headed back to NJ with a MEP-003 engine, two MEP-002 Generator heads, and a complete MEP-002 generator set. He promised to post pictures when he gets home (and after he gets some sleep), so probably in the morning.
FSS 24084 is the semi gloss version, if it were flat it would be 34084. Tell the people at Home Depot to look up "Competitive paints", scroll down to find "FSS" (Federal Supply Service), select it, then in the number part have them enter '24084' and press enter. Then tell them how many gallons...
Turbo deuce motor is rated at 139 HP, someone else will have to give you the max torque rating, but if I remember correctly the 5.9 Cummins can exceed it.

Since the TV signals are LOS, you will need to factor in the height at your location and the height of the transmitter towers, plus any obstructions between the two points. There is an on-line program/app that will give you directions from your location to stations within about 100 miles. Is...
Look in the tank and make sure it has fuel, then using 'soldier B' to flip the switch on, stand by the tank and see if that is where the noise is from. If not, try other places.
Fair Radio in Lima Ohio probably has some, but then again Memphis Equipment, Eastern Surplus and a number of other site supporting vendors probably have a few, since the tie down is common to almost all the antenna systems. You may want to tell them what type of vehicle you want to tie down, in...
All the ones in the paint department I've dealt with were very happy to learn how to do that. Particularly after they saw they could match the Federal paint codes and could then satisfy 'all' government paint contracts (most all state and local authorities use the FSS paint code numbers - or...
