    If political discussion is not allowed, why are political ads accepted?

    :ditto: to the sigline. I never even looked at the ads, Real effective aren't they? Rick

    24VDC power steering m35a2

    True on the rating but that is on the joint itself not the bolt going through it. Most heim joints would be anchored on both sides where you are anchored on one. Good point on the assist ram though, had not thought of that. I would guess the steering box is a GM setup and power for that and the...

    Has anyone bought an M1009 that doesn't start?

    I was told "started with jump". Well, I got it started after a lot of trying and it blew the radiator cap right off the radiator! Number 8 cylinder was cracked from top to bottom. Had frozen at some time or another. Needless to say you cannot believe what they say in the ad either. I can...

    24VDC power steering m35a2

    That is a clean looking setup. I like the overall layout but not crazy about the Heim joints. There is a lot of shear load on them in that configuration. If any one of them breaks you are history. Rick

    Snafu, good one.

    If he is cutting corn he is safe but if he is cutting soybeans then you probably do not want to ask for it back! Especially if he catches it lip first.:-P Rick

    Snafu, good one.

    Considering the drum is bell shaped it would have made a left turn immediately upon hitting the ground and then probably tumbled from the forward momentum. I would look not too far from the point of departure and not too far off the left side of the road assuming the road is fairly level. You...

    Railroad Forum

    I am all for a train forum, love trains. I have volunteered on several steam trains. How do I vote though? It is a conflict because I do still think Ferro is nuts!:twisted::twisted:

    Question about GL auction posting rule

    What I was looking at was a front axle for an Oshkosh snowplow. I don't have one, kind of wish i did but no way could I afford it. The thing is I remember a while back there was a discussion about how it was impossible to find parts for one of these axles and here was one complete NOS. I sort of...

    Question about GL auction posting rule

    Would that link about the Oshkosh axle I sent you fall under that classification? I had no need for it but I know they were as rare as gold hens teeth. I am sure someone could have used it. Rick

    Deuce driver with gonads

    Depending on the bike I would guess that getting it in and out by yourself might be a chore. Well, maybe not out, YEEHAAWWWW! Rick

    For you Electrical GuRu's

    GE, Speaking from the neutral side of the fence I have to say that a lot of your posts are rather opinionated also. "my way or no way" type of posts. I think it just goes with the personalities that we have here. A lot of ex and current military with very strong opinions. Maddawg is a good guy...
