Here's your solution; 1) Buy my Volvo 780 which I'm selling for cheap and now you have your own semi. 2) Use my 48' Kentucky moving trailer for free and move all your stuff up in 2-3 trips. Because of the greater height and length, my trailer will hold about the same as 1 3/4 shipping containers...

SandCobra, Wrote with Simp and it looks like between his trip in August, your concerns about the tire, and the difference in loading between your place and PB's, it sounds best to leave it where it sits and only have to load/move it once. I appreciate your willingness though but like you said...

Thanks for carving out a spot for it to sit, I appreciate it. No need to swap out the tire, that should be my sweat that's taking the wheel off. Matter of fact, I'll bring the iced tea and chair so that you can sit, sip, and instruct while I do it.

I'll reach out to Simp today and see what his schedule looks like, I wasn't sure if his upcoming August trip was set in stone. I hate dictating other folks schedules but if he has something planned for prior to the end of August and his circumstances change, would you be able pull it to Leesburg...

All, apologies for being MIA, I wasn't getting any notices and didn't realize y'all were in here planning and offering advice. Please don't think I'm not appreciative or was turning a blind ear, that isn't the case at all. The last few days have seen me getting my other truck out of mothballs...

I don’t know if it runs or not but I’m assuming it doesn’t. I’m planning to pull the axle shafts and tow it at 55mph, If I’m limited to 35mph it’s going to be a long trip home. I’ve read/heard that axles are easier to pull than drive shafts...

Afternoon everyone, I find myself in a bind and need some quick advice. I purchased a M1083 last August and Papabear graciously offered to store it for me until Dec '18. Here we are in July and due to a conglomeration of events, it's still there. He needs it gone before 7/31, two shippers have...

It’s on the return line. From what you’ve described, it sounds like you have a fuel issue....

Do you check the fuel check ball/valve? I’ve been reading a bit today and saw where someone else had a similar issue and that was the culprit.

Can we get an update on how you got it running?

I know somebody in Louisville that would probably be willing to go pick it up for you...

Are you still looking for someone? I know some military folks in CA looking to drive east and would do it to help defray costs of their trip...

I'm slotted to return to the US for a course in May and it looks like we might have weekends off. If so, it's about a ~4 hour drive to Dublin. I have no idea what a commercial outfit might charge but I'd be happy to devote a day and a half with a torch (mine is in storage so you'd have to...

Here’s a link to a step by step if it helps... https://www.scribd.com/document/60076588/Engine-Cranks-but-Will-Not-Start

Did you try the advice given? If so, what happened?

Jealous of y’all but looking forward to next year, God willing. Sitting across the pond wishing I was there!

Apologies, been out in the field and missed a few messages. My centrifuge is from PABiodiesel. They’re a great company (more or less one man shop), offer great support, and their stuff works. As for heating the oil, I don’t because of the gas I add. The gas thins the oil down by itself and if I...

That is incredibly interesting, I didn't even know that something like that existed. Not to clutter up this thread, but will your shipping only be over that 11 mile span or does the 11 miles connect to their docks? Also, is there an equivalent website where I can read up more? For example...

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask but are there any NC folks with the capability/desire to tow a M1083 back to NC with them after the rally? I'm overseas at the moment but will be back in Feb '19 and if my NC storage is out of your way, can come pick it up from your place...

What does that mean? What does a lease on a railroad look like? Genuinely curious over here...
