Where did you find the tires? Did they have new date codes? I understood that Michelin quit making those years ago.

Just about ready to roll. I finally got my M151A2 loaded on my XM1961E1 trailer and hitched to my M35A3. The M151A2 is temporarily tied down on the trailer, so I still have to do a better job of securing it. I spent the last days installing my RT-524 radio, mounts, cables and antenna. All...

I just finished putting the top and side curtains on my M151A2 that I'm bringing to the Rally. What a pain. I also just finished installing an RT-524 radio and antenna. I still have to load it on my XM1061E1 trailer and load my M35A3. I'm still looking for a hill to back the trailer up...

Go fund me accounts charge a fee. I think it's much better to donate money directly so that 100% goes where we want it to go. I'll donate $100.00 at the event. I have attended most of the Georgia Rallys over the years and had a great time, every time. I have no problem helping out. Maybe we...

I'm bringing the following items to sell. 1. One 12-can case of Gillespie (AJP) spray paint that is virtually new, #30118 Field Drab Brown $10.00 per can or $100.00 per case. 2. One 12-can case of Gillespie (AJP) spray paint that is virtually new, #30277 Desert Sandust. $10.00 per can or...

Just completed digging quite a length of trench with the backhoe and everything was working perfectly. Until today when I started the engine to move the SEE to where I normally park it. The alternator isn't charging and the tachometer isn't reading. I imagine the tachometer is driven by the...

I replaced the lines myself with new lines from the local NAPA store, available in many lengths. As far as the flexible hose on the air cleaner, I looked up the part number and found them on Ebay, but listed for HMMWV . The identical same part and cheap and took approximately 15 - 20 minutes...

If you don't have sufficient air pressure to the transmission Intermediate Speed Control the piston won't slide back and forth selecting low and high range. There can be other causes as well. In my case, the piston was corroded and my FLU419 broke down on the highway. It was working fine and...

I'll jump in with my M1030M1 USMC diesel motorcycle..

I have forks for my tractor. I spread the forks just wide enough to miss the ring and then press down slightly on the tire. This gives a very solid steel fork to pry against with crow bars and pry bars. And soapy water of course. I have one 5-foot pry bar that really works well. I would be...

Sorry about your ankle! I hope it heals up fine. We will miss you at the rally. :(:(

I had a canvas top repaired by an upholstery shop that specialized in tops for boats. They did an excellent job and were very inexpensive.

I had my FLU419 break down and towed home approximately 30 miles and if I remember correctly, it only cost ~$200.00. Actually, they didn't tow it, they loaded it on a truck. If you try to move it yourself, towing would definitely be better than trying to push it. You will likely damage the...

My M151A2 is also coming and ready for the trip.

Can't you get a heavy wrecker to pick up the back and tow it home backwards? If the problem is in the transmission, you should also be able to disconnect the driveshaft and pull it home.

Why do you think the rear axle locked up, but it's in the transmission? You mentioned that you can't get it into 3rd or 4th gear. What about 1st and 2nd gear? If it runs fine in 1st and 2nd gear, this eliminates everything behind the transmission. I suspect you need to replace the plastic...

IMHO, wire pulling lube doesn't last long enough and runflat lube needs to last.

Ever since I received my FLU419, I’ve had issues with the valve body for the stabilizers. The stabilizer on the passenger side would extend, and stick, causing the stabilizer to extend all the way and I always had trouble retracting it. I finally had enough and decided to replace it. The...

Testing the oil is a good idea in any case. It can tell you a lot and prevent future problems. I'm a pilot and a few years back, the oil test on my Cessna came back with metal in the oil. It turned out the camshaft was failing rapidly. Without the oil test I wouldn't have known.

I live on 40 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia surrounded by National Forest. The coyotes and bobcats don't let any loose cats survive here. I may start using poison. My F250 is currently out of commission because a large rat ate through some of the wiring and additionally...
