With 11.00 20 tires your ring should go back on with out any force stomping or taping hitting a split ring with a hammer will take the temper out of it . I try to block the rim high enough off the ground to let the tire come close to the ground the amount of air in the tube needs to not be to...
You may have a bad diaphragm on one or more of your brake pods . air it up push the brake peddle and have some one listen to the brake pods on each wheel or even could be the quick release valve .
I use one of these winches on a M52a2 to pull vehicles on to a trailer even with soldier B it's tough to keep the cable tight enough to make lay flat on the winch when it's time to pull . The winch drum can make a real mess when backing off and you don't have enough pull on the cable . I...
I have not seen many 10 tons up close and never had two seating side by side to compare . I would like to drive both gas and diesel loaded and empty to see for my self the difference .

My m52a2 has one side that that is full of grease from the last owner filling it up from greasing the king pin bearings the boot lasts about a year . the other side is much dryer and that boot lasts about 2 1/2 years . To tear down the axle is on my list .
Put the fender on for the last time I hope. The heater is ready to be hooked up .I did get to drive It down the road about 8 miles this was the first time to see what my top speed was going to be at 2100 RPM it will run 38 MPH with the multifuel it would run about 45 MPH . I still have a oil...
Centering bell housing
I removed the old dowel pins and set the new bell housing in place .I used a thin lair of silicone between them . The dial indicator is held to the crank and is in contact with the inside of the bell housing I would turn the crank and write down the readings at 12 o...
