Well done Cheers Phil

Hi Just think we are within 3 votes of a three way tie, now that could be interesting. Has there ever been tie? Cheers Phil

Hi Back in my consulting days I worked on a number of the early cogeneration systems for schools and hospitals. At that time I can tell you that the information provided by the utilities about usage was worse that worthless in terms of planning for generators systems. The utilities deal in...

How about flaming acorns? Went out to plow the other day 78 Chevy plow truck and as I was plowing started smelling wood smoke, nothing new neighbors are always burn wood in their wood stove. But the smell kept getting stronger. When I went to back up there was blueish smoke on one side of the...

Christmas Card Time BEAST seems to like the snow or I like driving it in the snow so it has been the subject of a number of Christmas Card photos. Like many military vehicle BEAST has very good traction with its Non Direction Tires in unplowed snow but once the snow has been plowed it is...

Little more of BEASTs history Hi All When I first got BEAST it was running and drivable so instead of tearing it all apart to “Restore” decided to do what you would call a running restoration. Meaning get it safe to drive, and on the road and enjoy it. Then plan each project so that I could...

Another but similar approach to drum/hub puller unit Hi Brian I really like the eloquent simplicity of your HUB/DRUM puller, using on hand components with minimal fabrication time necessary. Your roll off roll back on approach with the assembly held vertical just has so many advantages. Over...

Curiosity Hi Out of curiosity what are you getting for temperatures on the auxiliary remote oil filter? All so where is the oil pressure tap, before or after the filter? In another application on my 3 Ton CMPs with gas engine which have full flow oil filters I went over from oil filter...
