This intended project crosses generational lines, so I'm not sure which gen to post to, but since I specifically seek info on converting a 271D to a 271F fixed yoke rear output, I'm going with the 3rd gen forum initially. Just to give a bird's eye view of the overall project, the NP271D is going...

When I first bought my '96 back in '99, one of the first things I discovered was the rear brakes were worthless. After taking the drums off to see what the problem was, I discovered that my driver's side had the shoes on backwards to what I've always known to be the correct position: short shoe...

Not wanting to be left out, my '96 has decided to join the bandwagon and blow its rusty brake hardlines out. Front and rear. So my plow truck is out of commission during snowplowing season. I've been expecting this and it wasn't catastrophic but I've been too busy (and broke) to do much on the...

Because of the "extra effort" they put into every little thing (so we don't have to ;) This video has been "removed by the user" on you. tube, so you know he's already a dead man. (some spoil-sport brunette must have explained to her why it went viral). Otherwise, you wouldn't catch me dead...

The kid just had to show the old man upthis season, and this one is going to cost me some serious taxidermy money. Proving that it pays to listen to your dad, he used his Lone Wolf to go 25 to 30 feet up a huge oak overhanging a creek. The same tree at a new location that my older LoneWolf...

The continuing saga of the most tire-eatin' truck on the road. But now, I think I'm closing in on the problem! Then again, I have thought that same thing with every one of the several thousands of dollars this crappy-beyond-belief dodge frontend has sucked down and wasted... :mad...

Over the course of many, many years I did over a couple thousand transactions on ebay. But ebay steadily became bigger and greedier and kept changing for the worse, imo. I could go on and on about the worst changes they made, but that would take forever... So a couple years ago, I needed to...

I'm working on a purchase of some used wheels & tires, and between their cost and the freight cost it is a substantial sum of money to send to someone I don't know and I was hoping maybe someone here might know or know of the guy who is selling them. He's in the biodiesel business and drove...

It's no secret I'm thoroughly fed up and digusted with the endless money pit beneath my Cummins (does congress live under there?). The truck is relegated to nothing but short, local driving anymore because the doggone shake is so constant and irritating and dangerous. No more death wobble at...

I ran across this photo of a really good looking Ram with one of the nicest front bumpers with grill guard that I've seen. Anyone know who makes it? I like everything about this truck (especially if it has a manual transmission and if it had an extended cab): paint color, wheels & tires, and...

I have a '96 2500 with American Racing 16" wheels (correct factory 0. 25" offset as I recall) and 285-75R-16 tires. I have finally found a set of used Rickson 19. 5" wheels with tires I hope will fit. The wheels are off a 2004 Dodge 2500, as are the 245-70R-19. 5 tires. According to...

I'm removing the box off my 96 to go after some long term problems. I would like to be efficient in this labor and fix everything that is made easier with the bed off and while access is enhanced. > I had a rear brake line rust through last fall and there is a replacement line (I view as...

I have an 044 chainsaw that I committed the cardinal sin of loaning to my best friend. Now, of course, it needs a complete overhaul after he failed to use the fresh can of 2-stroke mix gas I sent with it and tried to run it on straight gasoline instead... :rolleyes: It's an expensive...

Got your attention, didn't it? I have an area between my shop and my storage shed that has become the repository for all my various "treasures" over the years. Yeah, you know: scrap parts and other priceless junk that was just "too useful to throw away". Suspecting I may get a knock on my...

I realize someone put some real effort into making the classified ad section "easier" to peruse, but I would have to say it backfired. There are now far too many 'specific' categories within far too many "generations" with far too few listings to be worth doing all that extra back & forth...

After thousands of dollars spent on all known upgrades and new steering/suspension parts, my '96 is still going through left front tires like crazy. Last week, at 70 mph, I had my second MAJOR blowout of the left-front tire in the past year. This time, the entire tread came off like a recap...

We ended our High School Trapshooting season with the SCTP State Championship and the Iowa High School State Championship last weekend. Two days of wind & weather extremes and shooting all day. Our little team alone fired at 4,480 targets in those two days. We spent last season, our first, as a...

I hope to tap some of the deep and varied talent here to help me finish this team logo for the high school trapshooting I coach and get some t-shirts & hoodies made for them before season is over. This logo was begun last year, and the art instructor who did most of it is no longer here. I...

I'm considering getting my FFL to make getting guns for the kids on my shooting team a lot easier and less expensive. You just can't find good deals on trap guns locally, or enough trap guns, like you can online, but paying a gun shop to use their FFL to have auction guns shipped to them can...

Does anyone know where I can find instructions, template, whatever to put together a website for the high school trap shooting team I am coaching? The amount of time I spend on the phone and sending emails and downloading and printing forms and information is getting to be too much as our team...
