    In Tank Fuel pump replacement

    Ok, just the aluminum plates I am looking for. Per my existing stack, I am guessing there could be 2 that fell out in the tank. Time to put a garbage bag over my arm and go fishing, hopefully they are still in the center baffled area. I guess I will be making my own fuel pump gasket as well...

    In Tank Fuel pump replacement

    What parts are in there? Old post I know, but I just had this happen. Could hear the pump running, and it was pulling approx. 2 amps, but barely piddling fuel out of the pressure tap/tee at the top of the tank. Is it only the bottom steel plate that falls out? Not sure how best to resecure...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    Tom, you almost had an opportunity last weekend to load it down real good, with about 23k lbs (M45 + M105) towbarring my sorry azz off of Woodward! Thanks again for hanging out all that time to make sure I could get the part to get my deuce back running again. Long story short, I had a fuel...

    Deuce center console and pass spring seat

    Did this over the summer and just now getting around to posting it. I put in a spring seat on the passenger side and wanted a center console of sorts for stashing things. Since there really isn't much space for a middle seat anyways, this is what I went with. No new holes in the cab floor...

    Hiab knuckle boom crane

    Didn't sell it, just had not renewed my ad for a couple of months. I see the 2 different pin locations now. Not sure of the benefit of going higher at that joint, it extends pretty far already. More reach would always be nice though!

    Hiab knuckle boom crane

    That is the exact same capacity/reach ratings as my Hiab, which is a "Speedloader Mod:550-2", manufactured in 1974. IIRC, Hiab told me that it weighs approx. 2400 lbs without the downriggers, so if you mount it on a trailer consider the tongue load (too much or worse, too little!). Mine is on...

    My WMO setup

    surpluscenter.com has a lot of couplers, etc. Do you know the displacement of that pump? That might help you determine how fast to turn it. Also, is there a pressure relief somewhere? That pump could put out some serious pressure if you put enough hp into it.

    Help, what am I looking for.

    You're in Michigan, as long as you don't use it commercially, you don't need a CDL. If by chance you're considering a tractor, I have a 900-A2 series for sale, along with a trailer that has a knuckeboom crane on it. If a cargo truck fits your needs better, Derrick has the only one that I...

    custom trailer build thread

    Hiab crane dump trailer Here is my frankensteined trailer. It was a M119 van trailer. Box was removed, a deuce bed was installed with a dump hinge. The Hiab is powered off of a chopped down riding lawn mower. The rear crossmember of a deuce, with pintle and electrical, was grafted into the back...
