I of course will contribute to both of your trips. Tim is correct,, I am TDY to Goose Creek weapons station moving bombs by rail 16-23rd so I can't meet Saturday, but my father might be able to meet you guys.
Could run the hydraulic pump off the front of the motor like you wanted, with an accumulator tank and a bypass when the tank is full, or use an electric clutched hydraulic pump, and a pressure switch on the accumulator. Tanks full, pump cuts out and your parasitic drain is almost all the way...
I have two small jackhammer type pieces of track working equipment at Timntrucks place in Ponchatoula, LA. I live about 20min off I 20 in SC, near a town called Camden.
I'm guessing the fuel costs between there and here will be more than the $200 fastenal wants to ship them, but thought I...
Kenny, the excite wire was on there when I pulled it. It must have gotten pulled off somewhere while I was moving, and I just never noticed.
Sorry about that! 🥺
Awesome! Well, not awesome you have to spend that money, but then you know they will be good to go for a long time. Just happy you'll have it fixed and working right. All my hoses say 3000psi on them, so my money is on a 2500psi or less system. But a part number lookup for the pump is a great...
Ok, I'll keep looking :)

Ok after looking around, the fronts are D61's, and rears are D70U-2a's. And a lot of guys on Pirate4x4 say they can't give them away lol. Used in the 88-92 Dodge pickups with the non OD automatics. So might not be too hard to find. Maybe I can modify the axle housing with ends and spindles off a...
I could see going with a more modern D61 or D60 for the sprocket drive axle, as it will be hidden up under the frame. But I really was shooting for keeping all the hubs, drums, etc as stock M37 parts. Also because I already have a mountain of them. If I could modify a newer axle to use a M37...
Hello,
Tim is picking up two pieces of track working equipment for me, basically the size of a jackhammer each. Anyone coming this way from his place or close, I live between Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC. Can meet anywhere. Or even if you are heading closer this way. Of course willing to...
