up here the diesel is seasonaly switched to #1 I know of no one who mixes gas and diesel sounds like a recipe for disaster. a space heater is another option there are some 12 volt models sold for heating small planes I have used a weed burner stuffed inside a stove pipe in the past to. there is...

You might want to look into a more modern fuel burning heater. The old stewart warners are tempermental , and thirsty. before you go to that expence try a good 205 degree thermostat you might be surprised how much free heat you can get. a swing fire heater set up is a good thing to have if you...

the best way to do it is off a crankshaft drive system, if you are only going to run a plow you might get away with a pump run off the accessory drive.

boy I would love to get my hands on one of those m56 rigs it would be a cool platform to build a heavy work cat off of.

im a mv user and snowcat operator I have 3 cats and the snow cat is the only way to groom. most dozers de clutch and brake one track to steer. the snow cats steer like the old m113 by running one track in overdrive and one in under drive at a fixed ratio this gives traction to both tracks when...

I usually just send them in to a driveline shop for rebuild once they clunk around a bit you never seem to get the ball and socket to load right again

what kind of tank is that the engine and tracks resemble something off an m72 otter

Im glad I live in rual Alaska because I would go postal over something like that. I had a parking lot sweeper impounded in anchorage once. this was a piece of equipment that the state wouldn't issue a title on the impound company took my money and would release the trailer to me but not the...

I haven't haven't the time to down load pics of the trip yet but I went 20 miles past where winter road maintenance ended to check on a cabin for a friend seems several cabins in the area got blown apart from a recent winter wind storm .

yes its been cold up here lately its the first day in 2 weeks its been above -20 its a balmy -1 with 30 nmph winds

The up armord versions I saw in Iraq were full armord cabs because the truck is so boxy it wouldn't be too hard to do it but it would take a lot of money they don't give away steel these days.

The old pre electronic cat engines will run a lifetime some of the larger motors suffered from leaks because of the multi piece gaskets but, I believe if you can build a Detroit that wont leak you can build a cat that wont leak to. An 8v 92t would be another cool conversion and would sound like...

replace the cummins with a 3406 cat

the lo calls for hdo 30 because that was the military standard when they first got the hmmwv's the army switched to hdo 15 w40, the only engines that require dello 100 now days are the big 2 stroke diesels, and a lot of old timers like the idea of the the high zinc additive package of the dello...

in the day we would drop the piston below the intake holes. there was a slog we would drop into the holes than with a baring tool spin the crank until the piston contacted the slug keep cranking and it will push the liner loose you un bolt the rod than slide every thing out as one unit.

the radiator and after cooler have a huge gap between them on the lmtv by using the army style cover you wont defeat the effectiveness of the after cooler like the grill covers do. This is one thing the truck drivers notice up here where they cover their grills like the duce. Between lighter #1...

On the electronic trucks the ecm and tcm are 12 volt, or you could go with an a-0 model and get away from the electronics for the engine, no abs , but you still have the Allison 3000 transmission which has been bullet proof for me.

here is the correct answer I think the most modern hitches if you have one of the curt hd hitches is only rated around 12 k with a bumper pull configuration you will need an equalizer and electric brakes. The duce weighs around 15 k plus the weight of the trailer. you will be over gross on the...

I've never messed with the c 12 engines bit the c-9 s I messed with I have blead them that way. The excavators all had an electric pump on them to bleed them. if I had to I would likely crack a line where the fuel enters the head , once you have fuel to the gear pump it will push through about...
