    Fifth wheel question

    Nothing fancy Gimpy, the original paint is still good, so I scrape, sand, wash and wirebrush the previous owner's poor paint job off and prime it with good old Rustoleum "rusty metal" primer. I take pictures as markings and numbers apperar (see image below). Oily parts get soap and water and...

    Coolant system filter

    No, the 4070 does not contain inhibitors, it's a plain filter cartridge. See Clinto, by now you could have read my article. :-)

    Axle vents and off roading

    Re: RE: Axle vents and off roading Right, I'm actually able to pressurize all axle housings, transfer as well as the bellhousing/transmission (standard fording kit option). Pressure is about 2 to 3 psi. Remember to keep a tight seal around the shift lever for proper pressurization of the...

    Individual, Patrick. The Continental AVSI-6 is an equivalent 12-cylinder air cooled engine used in the M60 tank I believe. About 700 hp. The cylinders are separated for cooling.

    Fifth wheel question

    Ken, these drawings should give you most of the dimensions. The 5th wheel on the 757 will be 4-3/16 inches forward of the center of the bogie. It's not shown in this particular drawing, but it's the same as the M52. The axles in each bogie are 58 inches apart and spacing from the rear front...

    Fifth wheel question

    David, the M52 was cut up further by the new owner, who bought it for parts. He is in Oklahoma. The 5th wheel has wedges to keep it from rocking from side to side when on hard level surface. Of road, the wedges are pulled out to allow sideways movement. Ken, the height of the 5th wheel on the...
