That is some creative metal work, nice job! Have you had any problems with the winch cable binding up, building a birdsnest, pinching the wire? It won't snow until you take the plow off or sell it. We hope it's temporary but we're at about 10" of snow in total so the picture is from better...

A long while ago someone snuck into the equipment yard where I worked and pulled the oil pan plugs on a half dozen vehicles and vandalized a bunch of stuff. In the morning darkness, the guys that lifted the hoods, pulled dipsticks, checked tires, looked under their trucks etc......kept their...

How much oil is my starter supposed to hold? What kind of oil is it and if I go buy some, do I find it next to the ....starter fluid?rofl Ether way, that big o ring is missing on my starters too so we need a part number alternative. I thought it didn't matter on the asphalt queens but it would...

When are we going to see the dollars on par with each other again? My 2yr upgrade just cost $40.46 Canadian.....which is $1539.67 Philippine pesos, $215.11 Danish Krone, $3540.66 Japanese Yen, $212.52 Chinese Yaun, $1865.18 Russian Ruble, $27,810.75 North Korean Won and $36,222.28 South Korean...

That's just beautiful Scotty. If the prairies don't start producing snow again I might need to move. Great video, the sound is good so that truck sounds sharp. Seeing the troubleshooting with the parts swap makes the work look easy. :beer: Thanks for following up with the pics,,,,,"that" ....is...

The view man.....the view. What snow? I don't see any snow! The last pic we got from you,,,,,,things looked like this. We haven't had any big snowfalls for a while so it's good seeing the joy you guys are going through. My good friend out of Campbellton said they would keep the shovels...

Stumbled over this link on a fb Cold War Aircraft site and had to share it. Took me an hour to read the great stories tied to the low flying pictures. Covers a lot of aircraft and even has an Edmonton link with a homegrown boy who loved to push the envelope. "Sgt. Scratch was born in...

Pic test, I SMELL FISH........ Trying to load 5 pics at a time didn't work so loaded 3 individually. Loooookin good!

I woke up thinking about birdsnest in the spool of cable around the winch. Why not make a cable up just long enough to do the job. Instead of tugging on 50' of cable wrapped around the drum, driving the 'pulling' cable through the wind, causing the birdsnest........just use a short cable. Ok...

You should have a dozen replies by now,,,,,, everyone's got a special paint. I'm only familiar with this product because I grew up with the Endura family and first used their paint around 1969. I can't say it's the 'most durable' without seeing all the other 'best' paints out there so lets...

They all look the same after a while. I knew you'd come through! That looked like the truck I saw in El Cajon but the bumper markings are different. Keep this thread open now with new pictures of the build. Really looking forward to seeing you get on the road. Let's hope your spare parts...

I had to follow this up because I named my kid after guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan who helped kick off the campaign back in the 80's. Stevie Ray's helicopter crashed on August 27th 1990 and my son was born in early October. Momma wanted to come up with a name for the baby but after 5 days of...

Not sure how I missed this one from 2010, thought I read the entire net..doesn't end how you think it would. Doing some "Low Pass" hunts in alphabetical order of hosting countries, found this sassy AB 212 helicopter pass from Austria. Crank up the volume and wake up the family...

Jeep on No hijacking considered Mr. DB Cooper.......all it did was warm me up a bit. Kinda reminded me of the old jeep picture my dad had taken with his buddy at some logging camp around Williams lake. Just drop some pictures of that beautiful valley you're living in before they log the entire...

Starter colors Yes! We'd need some of the older boys to peel back the years to see if they remember what color the original starters were. There may have been inconsistencies too with different plants manufacturing similar parts, they may not have had a paint spec to follow. I have both black...

Hey there west coast neighbour! You're kinda new around these parts so welcome aboard. It's tough sometimes to get a reply on these older posts so lets get some more info so we can get the canoe pointed in the right direction. There is a massive database of manuals that the good folks of Steel...

Starters and Generators I was visiting a collector that had a large fleet of deuces, jeeps, Bedfords, trailers and several acres of storage. He's also rebuilt most of this stuff so likes to collect spares. You've got a sharp eye to pick a different starter out of the G749 shed because that was...

G749 starter break-down That comes out of the ORD 9 SNL G749 Department of the Army Supply Manual I pulled out of Portrayal Press. It's 784 pages and gives up info on every part on the G749. Met with the G749 Guru today and he said he's never rebuilt one but he's had them a part, cleaned them...

Checked over the parts list and don't see the Raybestos MK 175 Master Cylinder rebuild kit or the EIS C591 -- 1 3/8" Brake Wheel Cylinder rebuild kits. Also checked online for current availability and they do seem to be available. The EIS C591 might be helpful to those who have upgraded to the...

G749 starter I saw the "Remove Fender" info in the TM when I did my first starter and had a chuckle. It should say "Prepare a small box of bandaids" and bleed a little. Ended up cutting a 3/4" wrench in half to make it easier to reach the cable nut but it's an easy job to R&R a starter without...
