Since uncle sam is buying back all gas hogs. I am applying for a federal grant to remove the old "polulting" 2stroke. and replace it with a modern clean four stroke.
Any one interested in going along with me. I know mister O and the green people will help.
Just think no more black smoke out of "HUGGY".
uncle ned
clean air and federal help great
Let us know how you make out.
Ned , Think I could get your buddy mechanic too put in a 50 series in my Eagle and send the BILL to Mister "O"
;D ;D

Now that would be something! I think Mr. O is in for a wild ride! He's been signing a lot of checks lately! ::)

At least in California, our buses and trucks that are converted into an RV are still considered to be commercial vehicles-since that's what they started out life as. If you bought a bus that was professionally converted from an RV shell, then it will be considered to be an RV from birth-and currently will be exempt from smog laws. Currently, your vehicle (if you own less then 3) will be good until 2014, at which time you'll either have to update to the 2010 engines, or equip the bus with a particulate trap with NOX reduction that also meets 2010 standards. You can also apply for low mileage usage-which is less than 7,500 miles per year-which would put off the engine upgrade until 2021, but still has to meet the Particulate filter requirements. The bottom line now is that by Jan. 1, 2023, all vehicles must come up to 2010 engine standards-which means using Urea in the exhaust (except currently for International engines). Good Luck, TomC
I doubt if M "O" pays for 50 series that thing didn't make it past 2004.
TomC that is what we need all the buses going down the road smelling like fertilizer.
good luck
Of course by 2014, California government workers will be required to take 18 days each month without pay, so there really isn't going to be any man-hours left to enforce the new green laws.
I'm gonna start saving my urea and selling it to Calyforn. :D Maybe I'll follow JR around witha bucket! :P
You go uncle Ned and keep us posted. We didn't get none of them billions that were givin away before O got there :D (we weren't rich enuff I rekon ;D) might as well get someting for it now :D
Maybe it will help if you can offer Sanford a ride to Argentina :-*
