    Convert M817 PTO to air actuated?

    The best solution would be a hot shift pto they should be easy to find for a spicer trans. With the hot shift, you don't even have to push in the clutch to activate the pto we use them all the time on fuel trucks.

    M49a2c into a water truck

    An mc406 multi compartment tank will have a space between each head, the easy way to plumb it will be a common 3 inch pipe hooked to both internal valves feeding your pump, being as it is water and there is no need to maintain your 406 specs you could also use rigid wall rubber hose instead of...

    Identifying two things, aux cables, Small tube on wheel

    I did see a winch apperatus once that was a drum that could also be pinned through it some where, in order to use a redneck winch but you must have 2 and a long chunk of rope to make it work.

    Identifying two things, aux cables, Small tube on wheel

    With the front axle being steerable it wouldn't serve much good as a tie down point. I went looking through all the electronic version tm's and couldn't find it. I do remember seeing it in an old paper tm back in the late 80's it was in the preparation for shipping section. its not there now.

    60 kw generator injector pump issue

    I should also add that pump looks different from the old perkins engines, or any of the new electronic engines, I have worked on, It might be one of the transition engines. The basic block and lay out looks like the new engines, but the pump is way different, and may be a generator specific...

    60 kw generator injector pump issue

    most of the newer perkins engines have a drive gear bolted to the pump hub, the holes in the gear are elongated to allow timing, the gear is accessed through a hole behind the water pump, there is usually a hole in the gear and hub you stick a 3/8 rod or drill bit in to find tdc. Likely the gear...

    What on the **** is happening to our rights to drive our trucks?

    It may be bs, but t think all this is the feds are getting smart to the fact a small operator can pick one of these trucks up with low miles and operate them reliably at a low cost. The government wants commercial operators to have the latest in emissions equipment and safety equipment, they...

    Diesel does not need to be stabilized, the worst enemy for diesel is algie get a biocide add it to your tank before every extended period of time of being on standby.
