    R985 radial engine Pratt Whitney

    Here is the pipe cut down. Shaft welded to a round plate bolted to the front case to mimick a crank shaft. Turned on a lathe to match the crank shaft dimensions.(A friend did this for me) The pipe is also welded to the back of the plate and passes through to the engine stand where it is also...

    R985 radial engine Pratt Whitney

    I had no internals for the motor . No connecting rods, pistons or crank shaft. and no rear case which was actually a plus. A whole light lighter. Had to come up with a way to mount on a stand. A few pieces of 1/4 inch plate and a 2 inch steel pipe did the trick.

    R985 radial engine Pratt Whitney

    While not an airplane I thought this may be the best place for this. This has been a side project I’ve been working for while. A friend of mine is a full time picker for his occupation and from time to time I’ll tag along . Last fall on one of the trips I came across some radial engine parts...

    Broken inner budd nut

    I managed to get the nut removed with a whiz wheel chisel and hammer without damaging the threads . All stuff I had on hand. I do plan to order one of nut remover tools. From what I read they have a limited number of uses but will be good to have in the truck . thanks for the help

    Broken inner budd nut

    Going to get the truck up on stands today and remove the wheels. Then take a crack at removing the broken budd nut. Will try gringeltaube’s suggestion first as I have all of those tools and it may save the stud. ‘Thank you everyone for the insight.

    Broken inner budd nut

    There’s always one. Got all of the lug nuts loose but one inner budd nut. The end broke clean off. Other than buying a $70 tool to remove it what’s the best course here?

    Preparing to possible sell my M105 trailer.

    They are almost useless unless you own a deuce . Worth not much than scrap without a top cover.

    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    Interior of cab sanded and painted. Installed a new drivers seat. Believe it came out of a m923. Picked it up at a flee market for cheap. If anyone installs one of these seats you will need to drill the seat base holes to match the mounting points in the m44 series cab. The bases are...
