    So what did you do with your truck today?

    I no longer have the 135. During my divorce the ex sold it and my MF 235 based forklift. I still have the MF 390 in this picture. Just got the rebuilt engine back on the transmission last Saturday.

    Is that a Massey 135 Orchard in the back ground? Like this one.

    New Project Truck. 92 250 4x4 Manual.

    Not sure if your A/C is still holding but I found with mine after it was converted to 134, the R12 to 134a adapters would cause the refrigerant to leak out very slowly. I'd get a summer out of it but then next year, low on refrigerant again. Was maddening. I did find while trying to locate the...

    Wow. Thanks for all of that code. Very generous of you to make that available. Now I need to grab some sensors and start experimenting. I'm thinking V1 will end up on the Massey Ferguson as it's gauges are maybe not so reliable and I've just finished rebuilding the engine and IP for it.

    7.3 idit build

    Excellent. I just got my rebuilt Perkins A4 off the engine stand Saturday. Such a great feeling to put an engine back together.

    What brakes do you suggest?

    I had a rear wheel depart on me once. Lost all my lugs on the driver's side driving home from work one day. Pretty sure it was someone I was having a dispute with at the time had loosened them. I know I had torqued them with a torque wrench prior to. Thankfully I found it in the trees and no one...

    Transmission Hell

    Yeah after reading that fiasco of a repair, or series of repairs, it would be nice to hear she's okay at least. Crazy what some people will do to someone who's in a hard spot. Here's to hoping (Praying) she's gotten it resolved and is doing well.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    We have an annual inspection here as well. Last year my sons car, a 2006 BMW 325i, passed no issues. At that time 1 of the "Angel eye" halo bulbs was out but it still has a DRL independent of that. The halo's aren't even visible during the day really. But this year they failed it for that. They...

    Arduino Gauges

    Okay my Arduinos and screens showed up about 2 hours ago. It didn't take long to get to this point. And down the rabbit hole we go. @ifrythings, I was shocked by how much memory just adding the libraries consumed. But you called it. I wonder if there is a way to streamline/minimize the...

    Rallies, Get-togethers, meets etc........

    Yeah that might be on of those stories that's so much better with the visual. Just give me a heads up. If you want a good burger, Angelles off 81 exit 150. And depending I may be in a truck a car or a bike. I never can tell what each day brings.

    Well crap I wish I had seen this could of had lunch. Next time.

    Arduino Gauges

    Thanks for the update. 3 Unos because it was a package deal. I'm thinking I might run all the fuel related stuff off 1 and the truck related stuff off another. And yes I did get all my displays from the same vendor on 1 order. Thanks for the info about the I2C issues and solution. I am sure I...

    Ujoints

    Best advice I can offer after 16 years of fighting this issue. Find a level place to park. The o-ring injector caps are, and have been garbage for 2 decades now. I finally gave up and now only chase the actual fuel leaks. Air intrusion is minimal on level ground.

    Radiator Options as of 2023

    Sad state of affairs, but are there any radiator repair shops left? Not an issue yet, but I would love to get my original 93' radiator rebuilt. Still works great but I know it coming.

    Excellent result. As was mentioned earlier, damper looked suspect. Just read it all right now. Glad you found a solution..

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    I will say, ever since the last major work and trip to Tennessee for the rally, I have had to do zero repairs to this truck. It just always starts and runs, does whatever I ask of it, and asks for nothing in return. It will get all the love it needs very soon.

    Big Ugly goes to rehab

    Thanks. We're not done yet. As soon as about 19 other projects are finished, I'll get right on it.
