Will's post above contains a lot of good info that could be expanded on, I'm sure, thanks! Remember that running the engine at low op temps will help accumulate water, which will lead to acid formation. In my case, with the crane operating, the engine often runs at low op temps and I use a more...

Keep "Upcoming Events", lose the "Calendar"....

I have to say that OPCOM's numbers for the NDCC tires are high by about 5%, the rolling or loaded radius must be used. Max rpm for the deuce multifuel engine is 2,600 if you go by the TM and that's where you'll find the "Danger" sticker planted. I know that Tom is conservative here, but in my...

Well you don't have to have the 6HNs, just get two cheapes from NAPA, as long as they are the same. Different internal resistances will effect the charging. Do you have a 12-volt charger? Charge each individually and go from there. Yeah, I remember the NAPA, nice to be able to walk to the...

For really low rpms, the best way is to measure the period (time) between pulses to any accuracy and then do the math to find rpm.

The batteries must be identical when used in series like this, make sure they are the same brand and age.

Get some voltage measurements when the engine is running, there isn't much to go on here..... You should see 28 volts across both and 14 across each individually when charging (plus or minus a fraction).

The M35A3 at Jim Henry's doesn't have one...this HEMTT doesn't either (appears to be the same tach on both of these vehicles...well almost anyway).

My kind of driving, he, he, he.

Interesting bit of history. Thanks for posting! Must have been early '50s, since I remember seeing knucklebooms on trucks in the mid 1950's or so (in Sweden)....of course, they could have coexisted..

PM sent Fred. Will do, Gary. Thank you both!

Found out where some of the 1969 Ford m656s hang out...the vehicle behind it is a Tatra 813.

My Goodyear tires on the 8x8 are also from Danville, VA and look very good for their age (1980?), they must have a secret ingredient. :-)

MC 2W VCOU 092: probably 9th week of 1992 and "MC" is Goodyear, Danville Virginia CF 2F 7920 305: Possibly 30th week of 1995 (sequence of numbers/letters arranged to fit pattern below). Could also be 1985...... "CF" is Titan, Des Moines, Iowa

This 5-ton has it......

That's it! Is there any chance you can scan it and/or provide some dimensions to go by? It certainly would be appreciated and Gary can perhaps make additional labels for many of us. Where is the "DA Label 132" located on the label?

I don't have the TMs in pdf format.... Here are a couple of diagrams that may help.

A knuckleboom is perfect for the job, load and unload yourself (the truck) and will easily handle logging trails.

Spoke with Jim this morning and he is asking $12,000 total for 4ea Humvee bodies.....

Okay, thanks, so we are talking pressure in inches of Hg. About 30" Hg is 15 psi and 20 about 10 psi.
