    Airpack hydraulic cylinder pitted

    Here is the deal. The portion of the slave bore that does 90% of the work is the far end from the switch. If you collapse the spring as far as you can you will see that the piston will not get to the very end of the bore. What is critical is that the portion of the bore where the piston will...

    Scanner questions

    Hi Doc. I am a ham operator as others are who have posted in this thread. I would look into a dawn to daylight receiver from ICOM or Yaesu. You can find the entry level models on sale for about half of the original and they can be used as a receiver and also as a scanner. I recommend this...

    Master cylinder pressurized?

    My guess is that the vent is getting pressurized upstream from the vent and not from the air pack. Other than a catastrophic failure in the Airpack I cannot envision air getting into the master cylinder from there. It would displace all the brake fluid which would be quite noticeable as it...

    Going price on feild stoves?

    I apologize also as I thought it was a field stove or heater you were looking for. I knew of a few for sale last year in the summer in Connecticutt if I am not mistaken. That is a pretty long distance from you and I am not real sure how affordable it would be to ship one to IL. If I come...

    Going price on feild stoves?

    I just picked up a 1941 Type II stove at Redball's Jim Thorpe Swap meet with all the pieces and parts for $125. I got this to use in my GP Small tent. I have not had time to try it out yet. This is the round stove. The 1959 is the rectangular box stove that operates pretty much in the same...

    Big Rock Moving thru SoCal

    the bigger the better Pacific trucks are perhaps ancestors of the KENWORTH C500. They built a model P-12-W3 with the following specs and loads it was designed for: There was a fleet of P-12-W3 trucks to a coal mine in Soda Springs, Idaho. These trucks had Detroit Diesel 16V71T engine 615hp...

    Bad head gasket or worse?

    2 stroke Outboard motor oil is better than ATF. ATF has friction ENHANCERS which are not as friendly to the IP as straight oil. At www.JATONKAM35s.com there is a fuel study available in the resources section that discussed the lubrication properties of the ULSD. Suffice it to say, the...

    Bad head gasket or worse?

    The slot is not in the block. It is in some of the older gaskets before they integrated the fire ring into the gasket itself. There is a bit of history as to the evolution of the head gaskets of the LDT LDS motors. At one point they put the slots in the headgaskets to the side of the engine...

    Bad head gasket or worse?

    Pressure in and of itself is not an indicator of much. The barometer can change or you can have a cap that is not venting. Are you sure the pressure is positive?????? It could be negative and only the result of the cooling of the system and a reduction in volume as a result. Check your...

    Big Rock Moving thru SoCal

    As I watched the video, I think the "OVERSIZED LOAD" sign on a couple of the trucks adds a nice touch. As if the boulder itself is not enough of a warning already

    Probably no one will want to drive to the LA museum to see one there either.

    4 ways not working on A3

    Sounds like a switch problem. There was a post not long ago about some funky operation of a deuce turn signal switch and lights and it turned out to be the switch. I would at least take a look inside. Carefully of course.

    why is the 5 ton front wheel further up?

    The five ton axle is larger to start with. This necessitates moving it forward out of the way of the oil pan. Add the fact that they added a hydraulic power steering and the neccessary pump on the engine which also adds to the clearance required in the front of the engine. This is proven when...
