    Grenade Shifter

    Did the threads match? Or did you run a die nut over the shifter? Perhaps you changed the threads in the grenade? I like this as well.

    Pressure Relief Valve Opening

    I have had the same problems with mine. This is known as the air governor. Before you dare to take the undaunting challenge of touching the adjustment, and it is adjustable, try checking the sending air line from the top of the air compressor that travels to the air governor and check that there...

    5 Ton Air governor cut in & cut out

    Thankyou for the help. Would someone know who the manufacturer is or know of a cross reference for the retro fit. It is probably tired . It did appear to be in good shape though. Maybe I will try to replace the large o-ring inside the body housing.

    5 Ton Air governor cut in & cut out

    Is there anyone familiar with making adjustment to the air system governor. I am looking to cut in at 65 psi. and to cut out at 110 psi. It is a 1954 M54-A2 Multifuel. I am not sure if the inner adjustment is for the low or high. And vise versa for the larger adjuster. Any help would be great.

    5 ton v.s. Deuce

    I own a M54- The top speed, without pushing it , is 45mph. It does incorporate a sprague system for the drive trian. They work well. If considering to purchase one.

    Calling All Gauge Inthusiasts

    Yes I am also installing a Pyro. I was just wondering if there was a specific area that guys were using to install their boost gauge? So I guess I will ue the 1/8 inch tapping near the flame starter for the boost gauge. And the tapping in the air intake elbowfor the air filter indicator gauge...

    Calling All Gauge Inthusiasts

    So it sounds like that plug just above the flame starter would be a great spot. Otherwise drill and tap is the other option.

    Calling All Gauge Inthusiasts

    My 5 ton has a LDS 465- 1A. Could someone tell me good locations for the boost gauge. That plug that is near my flame manifold heater looks like a good spot. How would the hole in the air breather elbow work? I do not have a filter indicator gauge currently in use so the opening is free to...

    New pics of the Messiah

    I know you can come up with a better name. No offense taken. She looks good and should be given a suitable name. When I bought my 5 ton it had letters across the front of the hood that spelled LUCKY .They look old and possibly original. Perhaps you could find a name for that nice truck as well.

    Location for Pyro installation

    My feelings exactly Henry. That would be the difference in the temp for that specific location. For some reason, maybe for labor purposes, big manufacturers put their pyro post turbo. I would surely like to see the reasons why, explained, to undestand. But I am with you on this one. Thanks.
