Ron made me thing of something about shackles. It's not really a safety issue but will save you a bunch of headaches. When installing a screw pin shackle, tighten the pin down until it stops, and then back it off just a fraction. Doing this will keep you from having to use a wrench to remove the...
The boom flipping over backwards isn't much of a problem with hydraulic cranes, the boom cylinder will prevent this from happening.
You are correct about lattice boom cranes as in the vid though.
Also, the P&H and American cranes you mentioned have a massive amount of counterweight hanging off...
Unless you're registering a truck to haul more than 55,000lb, a form 2290 isn't needed. There isn't even a box to fill in on the form for any weights under 55,000lb.
To the original question, as has been said, it's a state issue. You can forget registering a truck on a sf97 with somebody else...
My rule of thumb is, never bid on a item a amount over scrap value that you can't afford to loose. I've won big sometimes, other times I've lost. It's just the nature of buying items Uncle Sam deems unserviceable. I've never bid on a HMMWV as they are selling for more than I'm willing to loose...
Techniclly, getting everybody not to bid is considered collusion.
You couldn't get everybody to go along with it anyway. Even if you could, I doubt it would effect prices a noticeable amount.
98G,Talk to Wreckerman. I seem to remember him having a similar situation and getting it resolved to...
I'd be on the phone with GL AZ first thing Monday morning. I think you have a good chance of getting this sorted out but with your other lots in jeopardy, it could turn into a great big mess if you don't get this settled quickly.
Judging by past incidents that I know of, there is a fairly good...
I've done the electrolysis before and it does work. I've been thinking of doing the same with some old Jerry cans I've got. I don't see any reason why it won't work.
I've heard of similar situations like this happening in the past. They were all resolved after a bunch of complaining to the main office in AZ.
If you paid with CC, you can always dispute the charges and get all your money back that way. GL would likely never let you bid again though.
From seeing both M939 and M939a1,a2 trucks in the log woods, there is no comparison between singles vs duals when off-road. Singled out trucks will go places you can't even attempt with a dual truck.
It's always best to trailer an unknown vehicle but sometimes it's not feasible and 15 miles isn't very far of a drive.
Just make sure you're insured and licensed if you decide to drive it home.
People are always giving me cheap tools for Christmas and whatnot. All my cheap tools go in a box and I use them all the time to make "custom" wrenches when needed.
Well technically speaking, the winch isn't designed for lifting. Winches for lifting (better known as hoist) cost a fortune compared to regular winches.
The fact is though, hyd winches have fairly good holding properties. When you stop the hyd winch, fluid can't go in or out of the motor so...
Wait until you pull the valve covers off, those Cummins engines are full of those type bolts.
Any 12 point will work, either a box end wrench or a socket.
