I added five inches to mine to get the wheels centered in an M105 bed.

No offense to your town as I spent many summer days of my youth there.... but it, like most small towns in the midwest, is a dying POS with zero chance of pulling out of it's downward spiral. This is the same town that didn't want to bring in any industry (well before yours and my time). If...

The R6602 was used in: Brockway and Diamond T trucks as well as one farm tractor.

You can buy a remote reservoir at walmart. $8

Had to replace the fan blade after this...

Anybody ever take out a shim or two to tighten up the preload? I have a little lateral movement once it is warmed up.

Understood. They aren't torn but they are showing signs of deterioration. They are better than the new vinyl or NOS rubber but I was dissappointed that they didn't hold up better. Can't understand why the suppliers don't use something better. I certainly can't justify using the one piece...

My new manufacture ODiron boots are deteriorating after less than one year. The vinyl boots were trashed well withing a year. The new old stock were even worse. Would REALLY like to see a better boot material/ design.

Could two slightly different vibration frequencies occasionally mix to produce a low frequency shudder? I've experienced it on farm equipment with LOTS of rotating components.

We are starting to see the Griffons used in tractor pullers out here in addition to the Allisons. The people that I have talked to also said that the Griffons had weak rods but apparently the Allison has a weak main? IIRC it was #4? Any truth to the rumor that somebody is building NEW Allisons?

I believe that the technical term for the primary reduction is spiral bevel. However, I don't see how operating in reverse would result in a thrust load while forward would not. The pinion is supported by tapered roller bearings and would seem to me to support thrust loads just fine.

That is what I thought, too. Mine are on backwards and doing the same thing.

Alex, no motor is 100% efficient in converting electrical power to shaft power. There are losses: friction, copper, magnetic, etc. When I worked as a power engineer, 1kW/ HP was the rule of thumb for the motor and associated wiring losses. The conversion is correct, it just doesn't account...

We used 1kw per HP as a good rule of thumb when calculating power drawn by a motor. Seems to me that the most elegant setup is still a belt driven compressor and all-electric is an approach of last resort.

It is no big deal to change the weight or plates. I've even legally changed the year of a vehicle. The DOT doesn't care if you remove axles; they do, however care if you ADD axles.

Holds up fine. Doesn't work on the exhaust manifolds, though.

Assuming that these are the "cup" type of freeze plugs... If you had to tap them in with a hammer/ socket, I doubt that the sealer influenced their falling out. If you have persistent problems, Loctite makes a product designed to retain bearings to shafts, etc. I have read that this is also...

I used Krylon camo green.

Mine did that and the fix was a new transfer case...

$450 for the parts truck (springs and hangars). $300 for the M105 trailer. $150 to lengthen the rear driveshaft. maybe $100 in misc hardware. Lots of labor.
