Garage looks better now though, Had go get more steel in the ford The art didn't look bad And the night shot of the roof was like 3 am Done with the garage now back to so many more things than my deuce :( ..... Many months later......

Did some more work on the out riggers, there mounted on a section of 3x3x3/8 (with some 12g strips welded to the outside) telescoping in a section of 4x4x3/8. Got some steel from a guy with a goat, bought some ammo cans and strapped them to a DRZ400, got the outriggers swinging nicely (the...

Put on some locking hubs up front, Cut the rear frame moved the bed forward about 16" I had cut out 36" for the Haib. Then started building a big frame support/hinge/out rigger mount.

Got the hiab off and sold. Then went camping and shooting with the guy, made Rueben's in the woods, the dog did not enjoy the ear pro, did enjoy the corned beef.

Well first I had a 3000lb stick crane, then a 8000lb knuckleboom, now its a 6000lb stick crane again, so crane time for a new thread, old thread https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/decision-on-a-knuckle-boom-crane.193569/ In my last set of mods, I got a 6000lxr Stahl crane installed using...

I know its a thread necro, but anyone that has done the disc swap. What did you use for brakes hoses for the front and rear? I'm working on mine conversion and its time for hoses. I could have customs made by my local hydraulic shop but I'd rather be able to go to napa and get something.

If anybody needs a Hiab 650 knuckle boom with new hoses and valves let me know.... I ran across a autocrane 8005 with wireless remote that might follow me home. :D

When you go to park the crane you lift the second cylinder elbow section a few inches off the parking mount. (In this position there is ~3" above the solenoids) But as the arm shoulder cylinder swings the arm its starts moving in a arc as it extends, I tried to retract the arm extension cylinder...

After trying so many ways of parking the crane I found that sadly, I can't get crane to clear the solenoids and pump, When the crane is parked it clears the box with room to spare. But in the swing of the closing motion it will crush the solenoids. So I'll have to ditch the solenoids and go to...

Picked up another HF54 yesterday as a backup for cheap still need to get the first one in. But started working on knuckleboom again and found my control box might be too tall when I go to fold the crane. Hopefully I just need to move the parking pawl on the crane up so it sits up higher. As...

Well its a 1500lbs autocrane 8005, much smaller than my old liftmore 3200, but much lighter than my hiab 650 knuckleboom (1500lbs vs 2800lbs) I've started drawing up a mount that comes up through the bed with 3x3x1/4" square tube with a 1/2" top plate. With two side cross tube going under the...

Its been months but I finally got a chance to work on the crane again last night! Fixing some wiring problems I made the first time, and trying to figure out a pressure problem I was having, (and still having) on the swing cylinders jumping I'm thinking one of my flow valves is not working...

Well thought I might bring this back up, had a whole post typed up and chrome crashed.. In less words than I was typing before. How do you guys think one could make a bed dump and have a crane mounted in the traditional service truck location (rear bed corner)? I was thinking a subframe with...

I bought a set of the Boyce lockouts, and I believe there a rebadged AVM hubs, Ill post pictures when I get home.

My local Napa, though remember I had to mill out an adapter plate to raise it up enough to clear the oil filters.

Looking at alot of cab photos it seems thats how many holes a M35 cab normally.

I put press plugs in the holes on the back of my cab, now to fine an assortment on amazon to plug the holes in the dash. I had to chase the holes with a 5/8" drill bit to clean out the excess paint. The plugs are 5/8"(16mm)

Thanks for the info! I'm going to try the NP205 backwards first, since its a bit easier to find np205s vs T136s

Switched and estops came, the project boxes and switch guards are trapped in the mail room limbo till next week. Broke the cylinder I had for my old dump trailer project out to design a 3 link dewey style scissor hoist for the dump bed. And got some more 3d printers at work.

Well I don't know if there was any damage to the valve body on the MT643, guess I'll find out once I drop the pan. Though trying to find a new pan as been a task. guess I'll try to hammer the pan out since I've found only one place that has it in stock and its $400.
