    $4 a gallon!

    So where are all the “kits” to replace internal combustion engines (ICE)? Ford announced a battery conversion kit for a late 60s F-100 pickup to completely replace its existing ICE, but I haven’t really seen anything else viable that would convert existing ICE vehicles with...

    $4 a gallon!

    Yes sir, you NAILED IT! That’s why I didn’t even get into the waste of money wind power really is; not one wind farm has turned a profit WITHOUT HEAVY TAX SUBSIDIES/BREAKS! Without taxpayer assistance, wind power offers NO return on investment. One of my neighbors has Kestrel wind turbine to...

    $4 a gallon!

    So I don’t know how the current world population could be immediately transitioned off of petroleum, coal, and/or nuclear power in a short amount of time that is currently envisioned…it’s just not feasible unless totalitarian force is used and/or a mass reduction in the world’s population is...

    $4 a gallon!

    Speaking of solar panels, I get questions from folks all the time about them…it’s amazing how little most people really know about so-called “renewable energy,” and they are extremely confused when I tell them how petroleum oil is the one TRUE renewable energy source we are already harnessing...

    $4 a gallon!

    To prevent WVO from gelling up when it cools off, you most likely have to have it plumbed in parallel to your existing fuel system; start on diesel until warm, switch to WVO, then when done running switch back to diesel and let it run an additional 10-15 minutes or so until purged. The WVO...

    M200A1 Wheel Bearings

    The dual-tired M105 trailer in pics above is mine. I just added stock M35 wheels & 9.00 tires. The overall width (outside sidewall to outside sidewall) is just shy of 104 inches, so YES, it is over width. I used it to move & store 4 multifuel takeout engines, and it is still storing them next...

    Steering shaft - stripped threads - what size die to recut?

    My apologies; I must have misread or misunderstood…didn’t meant to derail your thread.

    Steering shaft - stripped threads - what size die to recut?

    OR, get a new nut slightly smaller & accompanying die and go from there. (Since you mentioned that the previous threads were stripped out and left a smooth shaft…why not just cut new threads slightly smaller and use a new nut that fits them? With a little anti-seize applied of course…)

    Girlfriend in the next town

    Females tend to get friendlier with the more money you throw at them…I’m sure this one is no different. It’s just a matter of money: how friendly & affectionate do you want her to be?

    M1070 Low Power Issue, resolved

    I get most of my Detroit parts from Powerline Components in Wyoming; they’ve always come through for me, especially if you ask Sales for Joe. Be sure to have your engine model number & serial number handy, in order to be able to get the right parts…unless you can verify the exact part number...
