    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    A old subaru legacy caliper I had slipped right in place. I'll use a hand brake setup or rig up a foot brake with a ratchet lock like my tractor has.

    OA-331 Holley 885 FFG Vs Zenith Carburetor

    I would bet there are way more Zenith carbs out there than the Holley 885. Zenith made carbs for everything from forklifts, boats, industrial engine, etc. Similar the the continental industrial engine....its not a "household" name, but there are hundreds of thousands of them in just about...

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    I should have welded a disc brake rotor instead of that round plate to protect the seal AND provide a brake to hold the crane in place. Now I may have to add some thickness to it so a caliper can clamp down on it, or split a rotor in half and re weld it on...... Hind sight will bite you on the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    probably a ball joint press and a oddball socket he didn't care for. I got a 19/32 that my dad had and its got to be 70+ years old. I doubt if it had ever been used.

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    The 2 Inch square stub axle slips into the 2 1/2 inch square tubing, but you/I had to grind a small groove in the stub to clear the seam weld in the tube. that took about five minutes and about 6 inches long. Sure beats picking slivers out from trying to die grind the seam weld. the round plate...

    Starter: M35A2 vs Delco 40mt 12t (on Cat D4D)?

    Although they look slightly different, it looks like the 40Mt 12t will fit a lot of military and tractor applications, they come in both 12 and 24vdc and changing the bendix to a 11t or 12t is simple. I rebuilt mine with a 35$ kit including 8 brushes, bushings, brake, and a seal ( Tractor has...

    Starter: M35A2 vs Delco 40mt 12t (on Cat D4D)?

    Is the M35A2 starter the same as a Delco 40mt 12t ? it looks the same as the one on my Cat D4D dozer. Im buying a new one for the Cat, and thought Id rebuild the old on for a spare.

    1952 studebaker please help

    theres a running one on FB spokane for a grand. It burns oil....needs a rebuild. So I'd be inclined to offer 4-5 hundred, as you'll spend 10x that getting it really road worthy. Sorry, its a 54 GMC advertised.

    Flame heater in exhaust pipe

    how about propane with a BBQ igniter. It would also produce a large cannon sound. Maybe install a propane "bird Cannon" too.

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    I will. I bought the stub and hub off flea bay for 120$ a harbor junk jack with a 20" ram for 70$, and a bad land 2500lb winch for 80$. Im waiting for the steel shop to punch the holes in the plate, as im to busy/lazy to drill 18, 1/2" holes in 3/8 inch plate. they may take a few weeks as...

    Bed mounted accessory crane location INFO

    Im going to bolt my place through the deck into the bed cross members, the add a 4 inch piece of channel and weld it to the frame. Im not sure what brake mechanism I'll make up. Maybe a worm gear so it will turn by a handle, but not rotate because of the mechanical nature. My tubing will be...

    New guy here: wondering why folks convert to super singles?

    Because they look great. But I prefer duals for what I do. I had a flat in the woods last week and was able to drive a few miles home with a load of wood, unload it, Then change the tire.

    Running like a champ...then missing smoking and no power

    Sounds like you are getting a little air in your fuel system from some where. start at the tank (in tank pump) and work your way to the IP.
