RE: help Good explanation Militoy, sometimes a test light works better than a VOM (DVM)....

Enjoyed the pictures, thanks for sharing! You guys need a crane in the group. :-)

RE: Re: RE: 5 ton shear pins Found a reference to the alloy for the 260 series 5-ton winch (5315-00-209-7979), it is the 2017, probably -T4 temper, which has a shear strength of 38,000 psi. It's a start...

Re: RE: One more problem, fuel question Happened to me once, the pedal linkage wasn't free and clear, it hit the cab floor before reaching "full throttle". A grinder took care of it.

Have the oil analyzed before deciding what to do next.

Good question, I have never tried to take one apart, I have one with burnt connectors and may give it a try one day. On another, I plan on using butt splice connectors to extend the cables, since the insert is in good condition.

Ryan, you are correct, but it helps to know what the ideal wiring should look like. Two connections at each battery post should be the limit IMHO.

That's not correct, even a connection to the cab would be questionable. You want a solid path to the start motor ground connection. There are butt splice connectors available to lengthen the cables, some are crimped some are soldered.

Ideally, each device should have its own dedicated (ground strap) ground return. The frame is then connected to the batteries. The starter motor/engine is connected to the batteries. The cab is connected to the batteries. The instrument panel has its own ground return to the batteries and the...

Re: RE: I am such a dumb a$$ Your best bet is to study the wiring diagram and locate the #21 wire, you may be able to find it right at the light switch or run a long wire from the rear of the vehicle since the wires are bundled... If you have a bundle of unmarked wires, take a sharp probe and...

Was looking for information on sealing action of oil filter gaskets and found this (Cummins newsletter, Aug 2007): In the late 1980's European original equipment manufacturers began reverting back to the cartridge style oil filter. We see this same trend beginning to appear in our North...

Re: RE: 5 ton shear pins Thanks Kenny. it's good to have company. What are the spec, John, or is it a safety device (=fuse) without a known rating?

The particular alloy used is important, since the shear strength of aluminum alloys can vary over a wide range....

Hmmm..don't turn the canister on the gasket it will be distorted, should be in the TM, but isn't. Lift the canister off , wipe clean and install with pressure on the canister so as not to let it turn on the gasket while tightening... The gasket should compensate for temperature...

Something about the multitude of things to make you wise.

You probably have the wrong slave connector/recepticle/cables, both cables are 32-1/2 inches long for the M35 (fig 333 in the -20P)....craneboy, huh! Kind of funny actually.

It's built-in, Jed. Or do you need to know something more specific?

It may not always be possible to make a reliable connection to the frame, so here is another acceptable hook-up, to the batteries directly.

Big part of the hobby is to find the exact correct part.....

Moderators/Mike, to make it easier to find the Tatra postings, could we add "Tatra" to the current "IFA-W50"? TIA
