Kenny and others are right about volume. Air tools are hungry for lots of CFMs. A large, dedicated air tank with 1/2" or bigger outlets is the way to go. And there is no point in choking down the system by putting a 3/8" coupler somewhere in the line... go 1/2" fittings too. Plumbed in to the...

The problem I've run into is that surplus dealers only have what they get from any given auction and there's no guarantee of anything coming out repeatedly enough to be called a stocking item. Unfortunately, the dealers who have a large stash of parts are generally aware what the stuff is worth...

I'd say that the fact that you're marking a 10" lifted Suburban with civvy Hummer wheels would make it pretty obvious that you're not trying to impersonate any known military vehicle. Just make sure your civilian license plates are properly displayed-- that should keep you out of trouble...

With all the manual series; the -10s are the operator's manuals. The -20s get you into troubleshooting and minor repairs. -34s are higher level repairs. Anything ending in P (-20P, -24P are parts breakdowns. Once you get your nose into the right general area you're in for some reading as the...

We're talking 12 valve here but when you stop thinking Dodge/Cummins a whole new world opens up to you. The 5.9s are also found in armored cars, UPS and FedEx vans and lots of Freightliner and Peterbilt box trucks. The 5.9 engines take SAE bell housings that; accept a starter on either side, the...

Got pictures? Always better with pictures.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not an armor expert but I think your telescope was made to slip into the 37mm main gun and act as a bore sight. That would explain the brass gliding ring.

The holding valves do stick and/or get dirty but they're pretty straightforward and come apart easily for cleaning. By all means, try cleaning them first; new ones are close to $200.00 each and every ram has one. HEMTT Helpful Hint # 26: if you got the outrigger assy too, all the holding valves...

Steve, Split end for end or did you just leave the neck in the chamber? My first thought is a GI broken shell extractor. Chamber it and when the bolt's extractor starts to pull the broken shell extractor back out, the end expands outward to catch the mouth of the ctg. Another way is to take...

Mudguppy, My winch is off of a utility company line truck and a little light for my tastes. As soon as I get one more closely rated for the baby HEMTT I'll get some pictures for you. Hydraulic lines are just so much easier to run than PTO drivelines with all their assorted supports and...

I'm running a Chelsea PTO with a Cessna pump on the Allison in the baby HEMTT. The pumps all seem to be close to the same volume output. The way the HEMTTs do it is just to step up the engine RPM with a fast idle solenoid. True, it's nice to reel the cable back in and be on your way when the job...

The audience is divided on the push button switches. Some people love 'em; some people think they work best as a paperweight. Sellers seem to be asking between $50.00 and $125.00 on ebay. I guess it's whatever someone will pay.

I think these guys were a pathway into CTIS stuff. Check out www.hutchinsoninc.com

As long as you disconnect the hub line so you don't blow crap back into the system you should be fine. After blowing out the line backwards, try blowing out the line in the direction of air flow for inflation. I've seen more than one line delaminate on the inside so that the loose flap will...

Try www.milbatteries.com/accessories/tt/nato_connectors.pdf for the connector parts. I did what you're talking about using 2/0 welding leads and the set-up works slick. The NATO ends are out there-- some members here even have them for sale from time to time and there's always beltfed34...

Paul, The controls on a MHC977 remote are graduated in action like reostats, not on-off like a toggle switch. Might keep that in mind so you don't get yourself into trouble down the road. I have the wiring and hydraulic schematics for the HEMTT cranes. PM me with your email address 'cause...

The diesel Unimogs-- 406's and 416's had tachs. They were in a big faced speedo similar to a tachygraph. There is a small VDO tach that will fit in the hourmeter hole. You might want to look into one of them.

Grove made the MHC977 as a government contract unit speced out by TACOM so there are no Grove parts manuals or handbooks for it. The best material for operators is in the 10-1; and for parts list and break-downs, look in the 24P-1 (Group 20). Oshkosh is the source for parts for these cranes...

The procedure we use is to paint the entire truck 383 green (or 686 tan, whichever you prefer) then we come back with the black and brown. This is so that we don't have any places where the primer shows through... especially important with a CARC coating. With very few exceptions where a...

If you want to do a test, get a piece of fabric (the closer to the top material, the better) paint it and drive around with it on your radio antenna like a flag for a few days or weeks. If it stays there it should stay on the top. My experience with the Krylon Fusion is that it's made to stick...
