I have one made by Leonard Jones, that you may borrow....

So, is the tank designed to be installed vertically?

Well Jake, it's not easy to see in the above image, but there are actually brass sheaves on the nails. I see you point regarding the use of the transmission to help the process along. All in all, the whole rig is rather impractical IMHO....probably why it isn't included in the FM 20-22.

True, but the restaurant pays the renderer, not the other way around and the renderer has no way of knowing how much oil is used. After the huge price increase in VO, from $13/35lb a couple of years ago to $25/35lb now, restaurants use the oil longer. Lots of variables.

After reading some terrific posts in the fleet angle and winching ops threads, I'm hoping for more (working on my masters in winching :-)). Any comments on how the cable is wound on the drum based on right or left "lay"?

Low frequency desulfation device. :-)

The restaurant pays to have the WVO removed and the renderer provides a container for the restaurant to use for the grease that it dumped in it. If the restaurant decides to dump some of the WVO into another barrel (mine), that should not be any of the renderer's business, am I wrong? At least...

We love our multies. :-)

Several google hits show 20W50 as the better equivalent to SAE30......

The plunger is spring loaded and a broken spring is possible or the spring "keepers" may be out of place, either way you need to take the hydraulic head off to fix. The instructions are pretty clear in the TM and after you take it out, don't turn the engine over, it will upset your timing. TM...

Made a model too, kinda crude, but it shows that it works. :-) Kenny, the picture comes from PS mag issue #137 (1964). Find all the pages in the "Recovery section" already uploaded (PS magazines, old site). Edit: Jake, you put a lot of good thinking into this and yes, there is a lot of friction...

Thanks, guess it helps to know what to look for. :oops:

Tm, get a copy of the TM9-8000 manual and read up on traction (Performance factors), the numbers tell the story.

This leads to proper lubrication as I see it, how do you guys handle that little detail?

Thanks again for your informative posts! Learning all the time. :-)

This will back you up Jon, from the 1979 #321 PS magazine. Multigrade is available, but use only in POVs. (Right click on image and open link in new window for best res)

Thanks for responding! I checked the FMTV winch set-up and it gets a straight pull 100% of the time via guide rollers along the frame and no level winder is needed (as far as I can determine any way).

A picture is worth......(image is test result of filtered/centrufuged WMO) (Right click on image and open link in new window for full res)
