    Durability question for Gillespie 24087 paint

    I've painted 4 vehicles with Gillespie ( 3 in 24087 and 1 in WWII semi-gloss ) with the last one being done 9 months ago, "I" won't use it again. I think for the end price of a gallon that you could get a better paint matched up at your local Sherwin williams ( or whoever ) paint store.

    PTO GENERATOR for any use

    Ok So if I understand this right then for a 3053A the front ( winch side ) shaft turns at 65% in low gear and 146% in high ( I forgot about it being a 2 speed pto!:oops: ) I wonder what the HP rating is for high though either way it look like it turns to fast to run a standard ( store bought )...

    PTO GENERATOR for any use

    I think PTO's ratios are better explained by percentage When I bought the pto's to run my pumps on my fuel trucks the guy at the driveline shop asked what percentage pto did I want, I ordered a 85% output pto which is geared to turn at 85% of the engine speed to which if my tach indicates...
