Just a quick hijacking question. Do the 5-ton and deuces have the same diameter fixed lines?
When redoing the air pack on our 5-ton, I had to cut the tube coming from the slave cylinder. Turns out that this is a 10 mm tube diameter, and all I can get here are up to 8 mm (for normal cars and...
His master work, the 50 ft by 20 ft double gate with side wings, symbolizing a lathe. Took 3 years to complete. Look at his website under "mondra gate"
(I should update that site, its over 10 years old mostly).
Not sure if he can make them out of aluminum, but you are looking at pure solid high quality steel. I think it these are actually built out of two pieces welded together since he did not have the power hammer needed to make it out of one piece (not sure). With the big steam hammer active, he can...
I see that this bracket discussion is still ongoing. Don't have time - mood to go through the entire thread again but how many pieces we are talking about and estimate for max price?
My son does special blacksmithing orders for all kind of historic things, especially small order sizes. Below...
We could use that thing here in the Czech Republic; lots of swamps and shallow but very big fish ponds. They have easy access to get in the water: all of them have ramps that are used when harvesting the fish. To make sure you understand what I mean, about 25% of our area is watery; river...
In that case, let's check if somebody actually tries to use it illegally :recovry4x4:
Although after these replies that's not very likely. Unless a bot is capturing it.
Because in October we honored those using their trucks helping for hurricane and flooding relief without thinking if their trucks got dirty or not.

Before I make the next mistake. I read that there was a risk for damage rolling backwards with the sprag in forward and vv. Does this apply only while rolling backwards with the gear in forward?
First direction we went with the truck with the air system open to the air was BACKWARDS with the...
Saw that, it is one of the reasons I started this thread. From whatever signs I checked later, it looks that the front wheels were not involved in the digging in with spinning wheels, but just went down in the existing ruts. Did not try starting the truck yet, did not manage to get it going...
OK. I am stuck in a wet snowy peat meadow, and it looks my front wheels are not doing much. My problem is that the air pack is being rebuilt and I needed to move the truck. So the air line to the air pack is open.
1) does that stop the sprag from engaging?
2) can that become harmful for the...
Problem is, he has to save some money and take a day off before her can drive it around the farm; they gobble fuel and are very slow. :tinkerbell: :smile:
He had a few jeeps standing in another shed, didn't made pics, don't know details. He just got is some more jeeps in less good condition. Are you interested in buying one or in parts or just nice pics?
TobyS, which M818 are your referring to? In the pics are two M816 wreckers, a standard M813...
