    Steering knuckle

    I've rebuilt many G741 front axles, and never had to remove those dowels during so. The easiest way to separate the halves is to use some 3" or so 1/2NC bolts, thread it in, and tap with a hammer until it comes apart. Leave the alignment pins (dowels) in one side or the other, they were done...

    18 mpg m37 "plus" more power!!!

    Any time one plays with carb jets it is wise to buy/rent/borrow a stoichiometric ratio meter. Running lean for better mileage will earn you burned valves or worse.

    Clutch pedal adjustment

    There are rubber seals that travel with the pedals up against the floorboard, and they subtract a bit of travel. They are a bitch to install, most soak them in carb cleaner a bit so they will stretch over the oval part without tearing.

    M54A2 front axle rebuild

    Zipper boots are for replacement without complete rebuild. Get the one-piece silicone boots since you are doing a complete teardown, they last longer. Other than that, seals and bearings are all you might need. Don't forget the inner bearings inside the axle housing. Brake shoes, hoses, and...

    Weight rating for 5 tons

    Hey 2002, how does your water truck play with the Cal laws regarding MV's? Just curious.

    Weight rating for 5 tons

    An old Timkin data sheet I saw said the G744 rear axles were designed to handle 22K per.

    Weight rating for 5 tons

    Years ago, I was brokering some 5-ton axle sets to an exporter, they were going to Asia. Seems they were rebuilding old G744 rigs with extended frames, supporting 20 cubic yard boxes to haul gravel. I guess that answers your question about what they will stand. In that capacity tho, I'd...

    Electric M37

    This got me to thinking, I have a pair of 35Hp, 144V DC motors that were originally in Ford Ranger conversions. They need new homes. Thread hijack over. D

    Flat towing Humvee with 40,000 lb military tow bar

    It has been some 25 years ago, and things were a bit different back then referenced to "legality". Twice I flat towed w/military towbar HUMVs from Phx to Oakland, Ca with a big rental box van. Figure some 900 miles, with a Mutt in the back of it, too. B4 and at several stops checked tires &...

    One trip to school with the 5-ton and you'll know you will have no MV's in your garage. They'll all be in his! :p

    D298ER mep005 "smokin"

    I've had several Hercules DD298 powered gensets over the years. They all smoke a bit of black at high load, and some light grey when starting. Keep in mind, those plants never idle: They spool right up to 1800 RPM from still, and that adds a bit more wear to things. The vintage 298 is a tough...

    303M HydraMatic rebuild

    Yep, that Caddy motor made plenty torque under 4K RPM, and that didn't bother it at all. Lots of reciprocating mass there... D
