Well I've got a 28' pull camper but I'm thinking of selling it because I'm wanting to go camping a little further off the beaten path. I'd like to add some sort of removable camper to the back of the deuce. I've looked at the S280 shelters but the ones I've been able to find need work and they...

Just thought I'd let you know there is a dual output PTO like you need in the classifieds. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?134395&p=1658482#post1658482

The jig I have was actually made for a torch. I took the torch holder off of it and made one to fit the plasma. You can control the plasma with the drag tip going in a circle much easier than you can a torch.

Without the "REB" kit, there is really no way to convert a sprag. The high and low section of both t-cases are the same but the front axle engagement and associated power transmission it totally different. As has already been said, find a air-shift case and be done with it.

I've got a Miller plasma (don't recall the model but it's one of the bigger ones) and I find it great for some stuff but for thick steel I still grab the torch. It works good on AL but for straight cuts I'd just as soon use a skillsaw or a miter saw with a carbide blade. Where plasma really...

I will say torch welding is still pretty handy when you need to make a small repair out in the field and you don't have one or don't want to drag out the portable welder.

I just counted them up and I have 3 stick welders, 3 migs, a tig, a plasma, and a gasoline welder. I've also got a few extra wire feeders that need work. I really need to get rid of a couple of the migs but two of them were free. They weren't working when I got them but both just had minor...

Being stuck on the shoulder of the road, for whatever reason, is very dangerous. People will blast right by you on the interstate when there is nobody in the left lane to prevent them from getting over. Add the fact that most people are texting or generally not paying attention to what's going...

I've owned both Lincoln and Miller. Can't really say anything bad about either one of them. The only reason I'd pick one brand over the other is if a particular machine had some of the features I liked better than the other. Having been around all types of welding, it seems most fab shops and...

Hobart and Miller are owned by the same company. Most of the new models are the Millers and Hobart is the older model Miller. When I was shopping for a stick buzz box, I was going to go with Hobart 200amp but Miller just came out with a 250amp so I went with the Miller for the extra amperage...

I think this also would be a good time for everybody to refresh themselves with the classifieds rules. This goes for new members and old ones alike. I have given out several warnings for rule violations and have heard excuses like "I didn't know" or "I forgot".

I'm very familiar with the AC hand clutches and have torn into many of them. They have to be submerged in oil or they will burn up in short order. They also have to be supported on both ends. Bottom line is I guess anything is possible if you throw enough time and money at it but you're going to...

All I'm going to say is I'm confident in my setup. I understand the risk of doing it wrong and know the laws. Glassk, I ordered my meters from Amazon also but am unsure the brand. They came from China and are just in a plain white box. As far as the voltage goes, that's about is close as I...

Yes, it can fry the ABS.

If I let my MEP-003 sit for a very long period of time the fuel shut of solenoid doesn't want to work. I can reach in there and cycle it a few times by hand and it goes back to working again. I guess it just sticks after sitting for a while. You may want to check yours.

When I got my MEP-003 that same area was full of a mouse nest. I can't really figure how they got in but they did. A mouse can squeeze through a very small hole. I don't have mice around here because me and a couple of cats have been on a mice eradication mission for a couple of years now. Once...

I finally got my MEP-003 hooked up to my house. I've got it set up where all I have to do is pull the generator up the driveway and plug it in. I also installed a box right beside my main breaker box to monitor Hz, voltage on each leg, and amp draw on each leg. For some reason the Hz meter on...

A hyd pump is considered a high amp draw. Actually, any draw at all on just one battery shortens the life of the battery. The larger the draw just means the damage happens faster. Very small draws may be negligible but it will shorten battery life.

If the shaft isn't spinning when you move the PTO lever to engage the PTO, you've got a problem with the PTO. Take the cable off the PTO lever and see if it will engage by hand. If it won't, the problem will be inside. You should be able to pull the shifter cover off to maybe see what's going on.

Are you sure it's a Cummins? If so, I'd like to know what engine model number. There were a couple of prototypes that were repowered with Cummins but Cummins engines were never used in production. So either you have one of the rare prototypes or some shade tree mechanic has shoehorned one in there.
