No. Overdrives are not available.

If this air line has to be on all the time, why add any switches or solenoids? The air for the CTIS and other stuff in the passenger kick panel comes from the Over Pressure Valve off the wet tank, and enables as soon as air is up. Coming off that OPV (aka protection valve) might work fine and...

There are still 'normal' Unimogs available that are set up for snow work. Here's one: http://www.unimog.net/exchange/ Scroll down to item 30. A non-SEE Unimog has many advantages, like readily available hydraulic circuits and controls, power take-offs front and rear, 3 point hitch...

A sling around the starter, a bundle of bungee cords, suspend from engine hoist. Tension the bungee to approximately handle the weight then lift or push down to move starter around. Worked for me.

I do not know that generator specifically but you might check the low oil pressure circuit. Typically when a start is underway the low-oil shutdown is bypassed. When you get out of 'start' the unit sees "apparent" low oil pressure and shuts down. Or you might have low oil pressure.

I have found that the Co-op farm stores are willing to work on big tires. They handle huge tractor tires, even those with water in them, and might work on run flats. You might have to talk to the store manager, or tire shop guy, and work out a price for 'weird' work since they probably have...

Did you check the tension on the wheel bearing while you were in there? A too-tight wheel bearing is a classic cause of spindle heating. BTW, if the wheel bearing had been over-torqued during a previous reassembly, the result would have been increased play in the gears, a condition you just...

As NDT said, if the gear set warms up and expands into zero clearance (or worse) the reduction set will heat up. Its better to have too much slack compared to having too little. What method did you use to determine how many shims to use to set the clearances? These gears are like valves, if...

If he checks the pan bolts (quick to do if you have a 13mm socket, a long extension, and a flex joint) and finds them loose, just tighten. That will get him back on the road. Nothing will fix the leak permanently except removing the pan and using some good gasket sealer. Yes, we are all...

My guess is oil pan leak. No oil will leak at idle so it's hard to spot. Engine oil can lose a quart and not show and a little goes a long way. The drip pattern on the ground looks just like mine when the left rear oil pan bolts backed out. That's in the area behind the starter. Ask the...

Glad it's working again. That device sounds like the over pressure valve that holds back air to the secondary circuits (like 4x4 and lockers) until the preset pressure is reached in the primary circuits. A safety thing, insuring brakes get first choice of air. The 4x4 and lockers run on full...

Looks like asphaltene, but that is a huge amount!! A search will tell all about it. ULSD is much worse to load up with asphaltene. The cure: https://catalog-stg.cummins.com/html/en/products/fuel/additives/asph_cond.html

We got the camper "annex" trailer done: our old Alaskan moved to an M1082 trailer, to pull behind the LMTV.

ZIL 131 right? I got to crawl all over one of those 20 years ago. That one was full of radio gear but was horribly rusted out. I really wanted the radio set but could not afford it anyway! My take on the truck was that it is extremely basic and as long as there is no major failure they will...

Welcome to the list, even if Millington has moved to West Tennessee!

Just the trucks they need for 8 ft deep water of Florence.. not with my truck. (Edit, the smiley face and big wave emoji got omitted)

Nice pictures DiverDarrell, supporting your description. The 2:1 ratio results as described in post 75, and your description. The cross AXLE rotates half the speed of the fast gear rotation. The mistake is thinking normally about relative gear speed based on teeth number. This reduction does...

Guys, if Tom questions my logic, then I start questioning my logic. Maybe we should all question what we take as "facts". Do we know the ratio of the reduction hubs is 2:1? That picture of the two end gears and the intermediate gear show a count of teeth of 14 for the intermediate gear, and...

I should have added IMHO preceding my comments. I have been wrong before. :-) Thanks for pointing that out Tom.

Agree. The 2:1 ratio is that of 'diameter' to 'radius' and is constant. The actual diameter does not matter, nor does number of teeth. The teeth simply couple the "spider" gears to the end plates, allow them to transfer torque, and could be any size.
