I will be there on Saturday for sure. I am thinking about bringing the half track and if I do I will stay all weekend. Chuck

A little late to the thread but I am in Dexter and work in Ann Arbor. Let me know if you need anything. That is quite a job. I love wrenching. Chuck

Hi Gimpy. You know I will be there. I traded the HMMWV for a halftrack. It will not make it to Findley this year but will next year. The trailer stuff is go haul the track. I need to pull the injectors on the five ton before I start using it for the tow vehicle. Right now my F350 and Deuce will...

I am not using 12 volts for the trailer lights. Only the trailer brakes so using the pneumatic controller eliminates using any relays and gives a more accurate proportional brake control than the electric on or off triggering of the electric controllers. I am using 12v-24v led lights on the...

I have a need to pull an electric brake equipment trailer. I am using a pneumatic controller that is actuated by tying it into the brake circuit. I then plan to run the 12 volt trailer on an independent battery. Basically I need to know where to tap for the line to the controller. Hydraulic is...

When I was in we used a soap bar but this would look better. Do you get it locally? If so, where? Chuck

The title says it. I won a 1972 Buick Skylark that runs and drives. I need it trailered from Trinity Alabama to Dexter, Michigan or close. I am looking to get it picked up in the next two weeks. Thanks Chuck

Bloomsburg/PA to or closer to Dexter Michigan. One deuce gasser engine and trans. If you can help let me know. Chuck

This should be a forum topic by itself it comes up so much. Commercial Driver's License CDL. Think about it or search for one of my many responses from years past. Some states (California) have different classes of private driver's licenses but if you are not operating commercially you do not...

I need a 55 gallon drum of hydraulic oil picked up from Gimpy near Cincinatti OH and moved closer to Dexter (Ann Arbor) Michigan. If you have room let me know. Thanks Chuck

In the past they have not done Pyro. Only blanks and gas guns. As always I will be there with the deuce. I may bring the new HMMWV also.

I do not have an old enough -10. What is the capacity of the hydraulic system for the crane? Anyone?

I did some work to the M108 and fixed the worst hydraulic leak. It was the return hose for the winch motor. At least that is what I figured it was. It was the 1/2 inch line going from the inside of the hydraulic motor back to the center pivot of the crane. I found it off the shelf at tractor...

I missed this one some how. If you are offering it up I am taking it. We can work it out later. Thanks Chuck

Putting "Not For Hire" on the side is not enough. If you are using it in any way to make money you would be engaged in commerce and need the CDL and everything that goes with it. If you use it to move stuff to a swap meet you are technically engaged in commerce. I do not know of many LEO's that...

Refer to my many other threads from a few years ago. The PDF above is intended for commercial operators. YOU DO NOT NEED A CDL IF YOU ARE NOT ENGAGED IN COMMERCE. You are not engaged in commerce if you are using it to drive or move your stuff. For those that do not know, I am an LEO. Again, do a...

I need to replace the cable on the M108 crane. Mine is in rough shape and I am certain it has been shortened. Anyone have an idea of length? Also, what is the best place to get cable? Tractor supply has the right size but it is a fiber core and lifting cable should be not be fiber core. Thanks...

I will put in a multifuel at some point when I find a good parts truck. I spent a few hours pressure washing 20 years of compost from the guy parking it in the woods. It looks better now but the rust did not wash off. I will need a cab and doors at least along with some fenders. The electrical...

Troubles with Firefox. Here are the photos.

Here are the photos. It is now back at the homestead. I need the dimensions for the boom supports so I can make some.
