I'm hoping you got your length right. I drew up plans for mine without any sample or input. If my the tube was even a 1/8" longer it would not have installed. Thanks for the thread and mentioning the $$ in the last post. I was used to getting rebuilt shafs for less than $100. I had thought my...

Difference between high speed and low speed driveshaft. My Braden LU2 spec sheet states the max input speed is 500rpm. I'd guess the std operating speed at about half that. If that's so a 250rpm shaft turns only 4.166 times a second. For a comparison, my stock 40+ year old GTO's driveshaft is...

Yes, historical registration was/is about $24/year in NY and requires a historical or antique insurance policy. You can also register a V-100 as a car or boat.

The ratio of my V's Braden LU2 is 31:1. I'm not sure about the PTO but it operates well below engine redline. The loads increase at an exponential rate. It takes a while before they become significant.

Its spinning pretty good but not like a car driveshaft which may be going 10x faster at 60mph and needs to be safe at 120mph. You can see the pto rotation, fast as it may seem to be, but a car drive shaft is a blur at 20mph. High speed driveshafts spin faster so they can be smaller and still...

The stock (rearward) yoke ears are very close to the t-case (1/8"?). The case is dished out too.

I told them not to balance mine. He asked why I said it was a low speed shaft and for off road use. Still cost more than I expected, maybe 225, but then I needed both inner yokes and didn't ask my pal Arron.

Fleetpride on Spencer St made my 5 ton pto shaft from some yokes I gave them. I think Frey on Eastern Ave makes them too. I have welded up my own in the past. The yoke has a pilot for the tube so it is very hard to get the alignment wrong.

I bought the DVD X-15 on e-bay a few years ago. I really enjoy it. The Air Force gave the producer a lot of support as it is full of real footage in the air and on the ground. Lots of MV's, crash trucks, B52's, F100's, a Piasecki H-21, a few F-104's...Film is in color and dates around 1961...

My old boat acts the same way.

There is a buss fuse under the cover on the tank. There is a good chance it is loose (inside or out). Any crude [in the bottom] that can get picked up empty will get picked up full.

I was mistaken, it does -not- have a metal cover. It uses mostly the same parts, without the wire, like your V and my big trucks. The cap (cover) is different. It is almost flat, thin, and rubber.

Stock is 20". It's the same as my M813 but the 5t has a horn button and the V uses a flat metal cover. I got one for the deuce (air-o-mat) on e-bay. It was a NOS piece. Cost was $45-buy-it-now maybe 5 months ago. The seller was Italylovers. I Think Virginia said she had 12 more. After I got it I...

I thought I'd be quite surprised if the that first pic was on the internet, but I figured I'd better give Goggle a look. I see another DUKW in the same place from a different angle (correction, it is the same pic but flipped and not cropped). Pic give location is Anzio. Another site shows a...

I'll give you one of my Iowa class battleships if you give me a ride in your airplane.

Here is a rare color photo of a DUKW in WWII (well 2, and very well supported), bonus-copy of the WWII halftrack I posted a few min ago. PM me if you would like a high resolution copy e-mailed.

Want higher resolution (2445x2691)? Pm me with an e-mail address.

I went down to #20. It added 4psi. EGT is low. Details are at end of my post #72. I'd like to go lower but 20psi seems like a lot w/o aftercooling. How are the head gaskets on these? Are they the same as the ones that make 400HP? Anyone know what a18psi relief valve might do to turbine speeds...
