Secure the assy in a vise. Select a punch that fits snug inside the female terminal, tap both lead terminals out of the rubber insulator. Heat to remove terminal from cable. Thread new cable through the insulator, strip insulation and install terminals by soldering onto cable. Install the terminals...

Gay's Tire Service in Moultrie, GA had some new, "almost new" and used when I spoke with them last year. 229-985-7656

Here are some pictures of the current routing on Ol' Blue... Back of cable assembly showing short ground lead to running board bracket - as Charles mentions there is also a bushing where the wires come through the hole in the cab tub: DSC03505.JPG Cable routing by the dimmer switch - there is a rubb...

Hey Guys,
We had a bad lightning storm last night so I wasn't able to get all of the pictures. I'll have them tonight - comments are welcome too as I would hate to screw it up and burn down my hard work.

Length appears correct on the new assembly - it was one of the last things I got from Sid

Hi Tim and Gary,
I have a new slave cable assembly that I need to install along with my battery cables. Since I have the front tires/fender liners off I will take some measurements and photos tonight - should be able to get some clear pictures that way.

Hi David, I have one of the inexpensive models from Harbor Freight and have been using cheap mineral spirits in it for 5 years with no problems. The antique tractor guys I work with swear by adding some ATF to make it work better and easier on the hands - it does seem to help. The best modification ...

When I have taken LAV rims apart, I use a tooth on my backhoe bucket to press it down. Only way I have figured to get the runflats out is to reach in with a sawsall and cut it in half, and corkscrew it out of the tire. There is just enough room in between the tire casing and the runflat to carefull...

Yep - ITT only had two of the correct stems in the short configuration as well. I am a little concerned that the long stems will hang out too far and get snagged. Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Hi Everyone, I am in the process of mounting Michelin XL 1100x16 tires on the stock rims and am having a problem finding the correct tube and flap. I just spoke with International Tire & Tube in Houston TX and bought what stock they had. Does anyone have any other leads for the tubes and flaps? ...

http://www.tptools.com/ I got the blasting gun I use now from this place. I'll second TP Tools - I purchased one of their cabinets used several years ago and recently went through the pick up tube, hose, and gun to replace the wear parts. I have been using the steel nozzles but may switch to cerami...

FWIW, I just ordered the fuel and vent line set from MWM and would also highly recommend it....great looking product.

I was there with the Steelsoldiers gang - saw a couple of real nice M37's but didn't get to meet the owners. The wind and rain was a challenge but I managed to pick up some parts for Ol' Blue including a winch and brake parts.

I hope to make it again next year - maybe even with Ol' Blue.

If you are in or near farm country, might try the ag supply type stores for the 30w Rotella - our local Napa carries it and I run it in the '49 Farmall Cub as well as the garden tractors. 10-4 on the Rotella synthetic - my wife's TDI has been running on it for 7 yrs and the oil analysis always looks...

After crunching the numbers the other week, before gas rose another 20 cents, I was already looking at nearly 4 bills in gas, hotel, food, tolls ect. and that was for one day checking out the show and a nights stay. I live just far enough that a day trip is out of the question. Then there is the $1...
