The Amish or whatever they are around here take a pickup and cut the cab off to make a trailer out of it. Then they run a pto shaft from the rear end to the tractor pto when they get it rolling in high gear with the tractor they can kick the tractor into neautral and engage the pto to let the...

Here is a link that I found that may help you on saving an old battery that has been setting for a while and won't take or hold charge. Battery Sulfation, Solar Taos, LLC

I will have to look to be sure but the way he described it that there was a aux. gear box between the trans. and transfer case. Not sure though. Thanks, Paul

I was wondering if anyone was familiar with Memphis Equipment rebuilds. I found two deuces that were rebuilt by M.E. They are Reos and appear to have some type of overdrive boxes on them, 12v setup different seats. My dad went and looked at them and I hope to be able to in the next week or so. I...

There's a custom spring shop in St. Louis thats known for making weird springs for custom vehicles. http://www.saintlouisspring.com/ They might be able to help you or give you advice. Thanks.

I was hoping someone could help me. I can't remember if on a 14 bolt when setting the bearings if you snug them down and line up the keyways or do you snug them down, then back them off till you get a little end play, like on a big truck and then line up the keyway. Any help would be appreciated!

rivired I wish you were a little closer to me I could prolly do that for about half if you just wanted to use sand. I don't know how deticated you are but I have alot of people that bring me stuff to blast that did just what you are thinking but after a few times of doing it they give up. It...

You can usually find 12v 0r 24v elec. fuel pumps from a good auto supply. I usually bypass the mech. pump but u can usually pump through it. Can cause problems down the road going through it though.

If you are worried about the sand getting into places that you can't get it out, then you might want to look at other types of media. There are several types out there if you want to spend the money(baking soda, corn cobs, walnut shells, wheat starch just to name a few) all of these have their...

I would check the fuel pump and for holes in fuel lines on the suction side if you are not getting fuel to the filter. I have found on the older diesels with a mechanical fuel pump that it saves a lot of headaches to put an electric fuel pump in the frame as close to the tank as possible. Helps...

You can buy coolant additive(SCA) from most auto supplies. It will have the treat rate and also how often you should do it. I have seen some pretty bad pitting that was partially caused by lack of SCA in over the road trucks.

The fire wood processor setup amazed me. I have seen machinery designed by engineers with all kinds of safety features that still hurt or kill people because its "safe" at least blackdiesel is aware of the potential mishap. I also admire him for the ingenuity, if he's like me the old saying...

Hey guys just wanted to add my two cents. I was a diesel mechanic for years and heard alot of Techs talk about how GM 6.2/6.5's are kind of like the old two stroke Detroits, Junk! I always had to disagree, most of the guys that said this didn't understand them and had trouble fixing them so that...
