    1400x20s on M813

    My 11.00 radials are touchy also. Let us know if the caster works.

    One thing that you might not have heard of: when you can get to it from the back side, if you can back it up with a copper bar, it will allow you to run hotter and get a lot more penetration. It also acts as a heat sink to remove heat from the metal.

    Looking to get an m816 wrecker in the future

    They are great trucks. Cons: everything on it is heavy. It's a chore just to put one of the snatch blocks back up on the truck, and pulling one of the 3/4" chains up on the truck can seem like a 30 min. workout. Pros: they are handy to lift almost anything, and they get lots of attention in...

    5 ton wrecker crane and winch in a deuce?

    Interesting discussion, but I think the wrecker body would look a lot more cool if you mounted it on a Volkswagon.

    Best Tractor Trailer Combo for Tank

    We just aquired a new building if you need a place to park the Sherman. It would sure look good sitting out front! We also have an offer, from one of the contractors here in town, to haul it. He has a trailer rated at 100,000 lbs. But come up and visit us with or without the Sherman. Jim...

    Idle Climbing

    From what I understand, the speed is controled by the pressure of the fuel. If your return line was clogged, it might tend to build up pressure.

    Fuel gauge issues on m818

    On mine it was the wire going to the guage. There were no signs of wear on the insulation and it was not near anything that could pinch or rub it. However, the conductor is broken internally. I say "is" because I still have not fixed it. I just pushed the conductor back together withing the...

    Fuel gauge issues on m818

    I have the jumping issue on one of my tanks. I found a broken wire about 6" up from the sending unit. The insulation is still good on it but when I wiggle the wire at that point, it causes the guage to jump. It has been a problem for some time because it had all sorts of ground wires added...

    New M35A3 Questions

    Skycop, Did you ever figure out why you were not getting power to the CTIS. A friend of mine has the same problem. Jim

    Looks a little light to be carrying a Sherman.

    Help with TM

    It's hard to figure out anything without some test adapters that allow you to tap into various wires. Everything is sealed and out of sight without them.

    Sandblasting & CARC paint, Dangers...?

    I think you'll find that sandblasting, especially with a small gravity fed rig, will take longer than you have on this planet. A needle scaller will do a much quicker and better job.

    Oiling The Air Pack

    I used Mystery oil on a bunch of pneumatic tools some years ago. It gummed up and ate up all of the o-rings.

    willys help

    You can get replacement data plates. The cj's didn't have as many as the military ones. There should also be a plate located on the front, drivers side, frame rail, close to the bumper, visable from the outside. If it's there, it will give you a number that you can trace back to see when it...

    Mobile Tower Trailer

    I'm just guessing, but I think it will weigh around 4000 lbs. It weighed 5600 with all the hydraulics and electrical motors.
