Yes. It's my understanding that you have to install a second pulley between the fan and crank. At least for my A0 and it's 3116 engine. I got one from my local CAT dealer, but the compressor kit comes with one as well. many of the available YouTube vids show installing the pulley by separating...

I see the the compressor kits are back on his website. I ordered the rest of the things I need to get this project going. It's getting pretty hot around here. My trip to pickup my box was a sweaty one. I'll end up with more bits than I need since I ordered the whole compressor kit but already...

Well, to be honest, I don't know. I have a former client (owned by my step brother) that is a very large steel fabrication business. They make large bedding boxes, snow pushers, and what not. Due to the size of the stuff they make they started their own shipping division, so that they could...

Mounted a mobile workshop container yesterday...

Yeah, I've been stalking his website for months. Thanks.

I have pretty much everything I need to do this located except for the "reproduction compressor mounts". Care to share where you got those?

I put together a cheap HF crane, replaced the hand crank with an electric winch, and replaced the steel cable with synthetic line and mounted it into the parachute pocket using a hitch extender. Then I moved my winch parts out of the bed, and went and fetched a 460 pound anvil. The mounting...

Right now I do not have a complete inventory. I know last night while building a crane setup, I broke one that holds the parachute anchor cover in place under the bed. (still not super sure how those are supposed to work, evidently they are not made to come out the top). I know there are others...

I have some broken/missing retainer cables on my LMTV. You know those cables that keep the various pins from getting lost. Making new ones should be an easy task, but finding a source for the cable, crimps and swag tools is harder than I thought, It seems all my searches get muddled up with...

I won a GP auction for a 14 foot mobile workshop container located in Lake Butler, Florida. I need it picked up and delivered to east central Indiana. I have unloading facilities available in either Portland or Elwood, Indiana where someone can forklift or crane the thing off a trailer and onto...

Admittedly I did not try too hard, but at first pass it was not easy to get to wherever it was leaking. Plus I was working on something else at the time. Maybe I'll give it another pass before yanking everything out.

I've been meaning to ask about using shop air myself. I've had my shop air connected to the front "emergency" glad had to release the brake to aid in removing and installing the drive shafts recently. When the shop air is connected, I get a bit of air leaking out somewhere near the left...

I got my drivelines back from the shop. Had it done at Fort Wayne Powertrain. In Fort Wayne, Indiana. An old timer helped me unload the shafts. took one look and knew they were 1610 joints. Asked if the yokes on the truck were full or half round. Despite having the "D" stamped on my ID tag, they...

I've been shopping solar MPPT devices for this. Some of them would seem to allow charging the house bank while on shore power/generator, or while running the main engine, automatically switching when needed. Ideally I'd like something that would handle inputs from the engine, plus solar...

Vacuum extractor?

I'm 100% certain that I would break those plastic tabs off.

Yet... there are numerous stories here (and even some horrific photos) of rear end collisions and near misses, and not a single instance of driving the speed limit being an issue. Reality disagrees with you too.

Again with the straw man arguments? Man you really like to argue claims that nobody made. What I intended to express and maybe did not as well as I'd like, is that a giant slug of a MV going much slower than the rest of traffic may pose a greater risk to the MV driver and to the public in...

I played the lottery once and won. I do not expect to win every time.

Disagree with what? Going 100 mph.... Nobody mentioned that. it's a straw man argument. On that we agree, there is no need to go 100 mph in a lmtv. Around here big rigs drive 70, and even maxed out at 58mph in my lmtv, traffic flows around me like a rock in a river. Many of them very surprised...
