    Tanks into Heavy Equipment

    I remember that article in PS, it mentioned shipping at around $1000 back then. That's when I first got interested in military vehicles.:roll: I also remember getting a brochure for bidding on a "land train" located in South America.:drool:

    Hydraulic oil compatable?

    Most of the hydraulic oils like Case TCH just have higher levels of anti-foam agents for the torque converters. Shouldn't hurt a thing.:beer:Good score!

    Status of the Military Salvage Yard in Rolla, Missouri

    While my sons were going to Rolla I spent quite a lot of time trying to catch up with Dean. The only response I ever go was a flyer for a GOER he sent to me after I left a message with my information on his door. I sure would like to find out where this other place is before it all winds up...

    Funny GL Photo

    Might I suggest Lousiana Hot Sauce painted on wiring harness to keep the critters from chewing on the insulation. Also works well when applied to the same critters after cooking.:roll:

    TM's requested - Bring out your TM's!

    As one of those with limited computer smarts, I can't figure out how to upload the DTC 8606 files from my computer to Megaupload. Can someone point me in the right direction in people speak? I'm much better with a wrench than a computer.:roll:

    Mack Motor help please.

I had drained the water out of the seperator but it turned out there was a lot of algae scum and about a gallon of water in the tank. I wound up running water all the...

    Oshkosh Snow plow W/ frozen motor

    I've had good luck with Kroil in stuck tractor engines. I think I might give the jack thing a try if I ever have another one. I've been lucky using a bar, only sheared off the woodruf key in the front pulley so far.:roll:

    Widen fenders on M101

    I just wanted to make sure I understand your failure with POR15. Is it coming off the metal or is the topcoat peeling off the POR15. I've been having good luck sandblasting the metal then preping with a high PH degreaser(like Dynamite or Butyl cleaner) and finishing with diluted phosporic...

    LDS 465 1a rebuild or repower ?

    I've done it both ways and I have to say I prefer building my own engines. I've just seen too many knucklehead engines slopped together by people to lazy or cheap to do it right.2cents
