The fuel control valve has an equalizer tube on it so that it can be installed either vertically or horizontally. Don't know which mounting does not need this equalizer tube, don't believe the pictures I have seen show it at all in either position (1969 TMs)....maybe an afterthought.... What...

The "downriggers" are manually pulled out and the outside to outside dimension varies from a little less than 8ft to 12ft.

How does that work Mike, what's the theory? Keeping tires out of the sun helps, so does it block the rays? Any long term comparative studies? ......

That is so great Ethan! Here is an image of mine as found back in 1993, 1968 model Navy Loadstar with military tags on the 765A HIAB crane. Also from Virginia. Mine is serial No 17, what's yours? A couple of things, the carburator has a special throttle attachement so that the rpm is governed...

You guys always forget the PS magazines. aua http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?full=1&set_albumName=album11&id=ps424_p4_5_steering_knuckle_boots&name=gallery&include=view_photo.php

There is no standard for measuring it for one thing, type of road, weight, tire pressure, engine op temp, weather (air temp), how you drive etc, all are part of the equation. The "hard coupled" rear axles must be freed up, since they can reduce highway performance dramatically, more important...

Talking about windshields, never could understand the slanted ones on the hemmets, note the reflections in the background.... Good job man and stay safe!

Patrick, remember this "sign"? Gary (Polverone) will fix you up. Can't believe it's almost been a year... and Patrick, if you spot internal/external lockwashers of the right kind, please get an assortment.

This kind of project is right up my alley. :-) Dosen't the "arctic" battery compartment have provision for coolant hook-up? Is the genset to start at 40 below or do you keep it indoors? I have familirized myself with the fuel burning heater for the past couple of weeks and think it's the...

See...that's why the original spec sheet would be nice.

Excellent workmanship Mike, but scary.

Thanks again for the suggestions, a big part of working on these vehicles is to get close to the originial on this kind of detail, since the design goals are not often exactly known. It now looks like the O-rings are in fact supposed to be flat on the contact surfaces, just down a little from...

Yes, like Jon stated, check the radiator cap, it should hold 7 to 8 psi when working correctly. If it doesn't, it may cause release of pressure too soon. Gauges are important, gives you peace of mind on a road trip, work on fixing it. Oh, about the cab getting hot, yes that would be normal, I...

:-)

Thanks for the offer Mike! Measuring it, I come up with: OD=3.400 ID=2.950 Cross sectional height=0.186 Cross sectional width=0.225 Perhaps it was never circular in cross section, but if that's all that's easily available, that will have to do for the time being. The O-rings help seal the...

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

I need to replace 8ea O-rings on the 757, they are about 3 inches in dia and seem to have been flattened from use after 38 years. NAPA measured one of them and came back with a "discontinued".... I need the exact spec on them to go any further, so if someone has access to the right data base...

Jason just did....(see above)

The only problem with ACE's procedure I can think of would be if the valve freezes in the open position. I know, it would be easy to warm up , but anyway. Truck needs to sit level too.... Alcohol evaporator will help.....

I think it's nice to talk about it too, sometimes the answer may be in an obscure paragraph and for those of us who can't remember squat(?), reading the manuals over and over could get very time consuming.
