    Gimp, I hope you can make next year I will take care of you then with beer and fuel again. We missed you this year and couldn’t even give the beer away.

    m35 A2 rear axle alignment.

    Which direction out of alignment are you referring to? Center to center alignment is fixed by the dog bones and their mount locations. The side alignment floats some but the spring pads holds them. So what did the alignment shop say exactly?

    fuel bleeding

    I would check to make sure the fuel shutoff is not stuck in the off position and moves freely. It should be about 7 oclock position for a run condition. If that is fine then possibly the button came off the hydraulic head...

    1963 M37 - Pre-start checklist

    If the engine has been sitting for a very long time then there is a risk that you may have a stuck valve. I would pull the valve cover and spark plugs. I would then lube them and slowly roll over the engine watching each valve to make sure they are free and not stuck. If any resistance is felt...

    oils

    Greg, I agree with your opinion on the ZDDP addition. I use that in my trucks that have flat tappet cams. I was wondering about some of the newer lubricant additives such as Archoil and others that use the term Nano lubricants. I am not sure what exactly they are. The technical data is...

    How do you change PTO boots?

    I just changed mine last week. There is a retainer ring that holds the lip of the boot in place. The seal is actually behind that. You have to use a sharp pick and carefully remove the boot lip from under the retainer ring. I looked at it for a while until I figured out that. The new boot is...

    Clutch Disk center loose

    Don't argue with someone that knows their stuff. Rusty is correct there should be no movement on the hub with your hand. Any loose movement will hammer on it and can quickly destroy itself. New disks are less than $100 so just replace it. You can do it right or do it over your choice.

    Stuck backhoe bucket pin on SEE

    I work on heavy equipment frequently and heat will help you here. You probably will need a rosebud to throw enough heat get the part hot enough. I would heat it up to a dull red where the pin goes thru and let it cool some then strike it again and see if it moves. It may take several heat cycles...
