    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    I have lots O tricks. ;-) These blades have been around for years actually. I have a 48 tooth and I have done as I said w/ it. I believe now they have a 38 tooth designed for thicker metals. My 48 is sweet though. I cut thru that 1" thick slab in 2 passes, I could have done it in one. WEAR...

    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    That blade is AWSOME. I have cut maybe 30 lineal feet of .25" steel plate w/ it prior to this and it could do 50 more of these I am sure. No real blatent signs of giving up yet. Incredible, a Skillsaw to cut 1" steel plate...Welcome to the 21st Century.

    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    The math / CAD drawings didn't lie. I could easily in the future place the truck in a nose up attitude of 21.5* and the same w/ the trailer but azz high and one little bump and I would be pounding one into another so off it comes. I just grabbed my Skillsaw and yelled "This one is for the...

    new toy (m916a1) to be made into a 4000 gallon water truck.

    Driller be sure to look at Red Dot's R-9777-0-24p unit. It is a roof top unit that is A/C and Heat and it needs no condenser as I understand it. Just a compressor and its mount, the roof top unit and hoses. When my next ship comes in I will pick up two of them, one for the M925A1 and one for...

    Anybody ever won 2 auctions by accident??

    I had that happen to me, operator error it was. I immediately called GL and explained to them why I eff'd up. They totally saw how it happened to me and while he offered condolences I was not given a free pass. He asked me if I wanted to default on the items on the spot and pay the fines. I said...

    M916/M920 parts help and tech manual needed

    NDT that is the schematic for the M915, although VERY close it is not perfect. There is an M916-M920 Elec Schematic .jpg File I made in the "Artisan's M916" thread. Look at the very bottom right corner and read what it says.

    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    Yes Driller, all points valid. If there were any easy fit extension I would go that route but looks like I am going to be chopping this thing off. I just hate to do stuff like that for fear of someday wishing I had not done it. True, an M916 is a monster and tall but they made this thing that...

    M1070 Info

    Welcome to the SS I WISH club. An M915 Series forum is in order IMO as well as a 1070 Forum. The 5ton area is way to swamped and it needs to be divided up IMO. (and others who will not say it)

    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    A plate is easy to draw, and being fluent in AUTOCAD 2D it is a no brainer but what is of concern is the bolts that connects it all. Long bolts = Leverage, and Shear, are extremely powerful forces. I expect to hit max 25,000 pounds easy plus I want at least a 1.5 overage

    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    Driller if it is the PINTLE and it has 4 bolts it will not work. (My pintle has 2 bolts) If it is the Lunette RING and it has 4 bolts it is close but I need more than 4 inches but if four we are not far far 6 and I would love o see a pic. No matter I SO APPRECIATE the effort...

    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    I just re-read this and I may have err'd Driller. My "pintle" is a two bolt, (It is about an 8" or so spread) The Lunette ring bolt pattern is 4.5" x 4.5" with 4 bolts.

    You turned them into flatbeds WITH the cranes yes? That would be a VERY nice rig, especially w/ A/C .
