Too bad you're way East in MO. I have a 5-ton tractor, Mack END673 engine (the best, BTW). It's a project rig, and needs to be put together. For my asking price of $1,500 here in AZ, it's not a bad deal. Also FS is an 900-series hydraulic winch for an additional $500. If interested...

How does England license a rig like yours? LHD, lighting issues, eTc? Just curious, but I don't want to know how much Diesel is there LOL. D

3PH Voltages 208, 230, and 480 have been standard for over half a century now... 110, 220, and 440 are long gone, as well as 416.

I learned to use Nickle rod for cast Iron in college back in '72. Sure beats Brazing! G744

I've found those particular switches are junk, with just the same result in regular uses. First off, any of them with a 'key' just never have the low contact resistance necessary to handle a Diesel starter current. Ditch the 'security' idea and get one of these: Cole-Hersee battery disconnect...

So true. Some of you guys travel a lot, so I thought to offer it. That goes for any of you. 744

I have a 5-ton tractor that you could have all the 5th wheel and ramps for coming to get it. There couldn't be a whole lot of difference between them, as both trucks have the same frame width. I'm just outside of Phoenix.

This may have been tried, but go for a run with the gas cap off. Sounds to me like whatever is used to admit air into the tank as fuel is drawn off is causing a vacuum the pump can't overcome. Just a thought...

Antenna Specialists 108" whip to the rescue!

Make sure your gas tank is properly vented to the atmosphere. Otherwise, as gas is used and air is not let back in a vacuum will develop and stall it out. For the brake problem, make sure the MC pushrod has a tiny bit of slack, as the lack of same can keep it from totally releasing.

It's a Jeep. Like I previously said, they had their own ideas...:unsure: G744

I'd buy Korean dog-bone bushings, if the crazy tarriffs didn't make 'em Gold.

Yep, Kaiser Jeep Corp has always had a 'way' about their designs, for better or worse. I bet it chapped their a$$ to have to build 2.5 & 5 tons according to plans of others for those juicy contracts back in the day.

The horn is fed 24V to one terminal on same, the other goes to the horn button switch, looking for a ground to complete the circuit . Worst to happen, it will honk. Won't hurt anyone... I have seen the column wire twisted in two from a million turns over the years.

A right front blowout on a banked turn did it for me, back in the mid 70's. Made a mess out of the things like my hardtop, bed sides, all the windshield stuff, and hood. The only injuries were me & the wife with Pepperoni-sized lacerations on our plams, somehow.

Don't forget the tank needs to get air back in as the gas goes out. Most of the time the gas cap has a selector inside, set to 'open' or 'vent'. D

Ah man, those Cummins repowers are everywhere. If that Tornado fails again, get yerself a Detroit 4-53 silver turbo mated to a Spicer 3053 and make that glorious 2-stroke noise! D

Yep, plenty plated HMMWV's around here.

Indeed, but my reply isn't so much about powerful wrenches for lugs, rather the fact that tire shops habitually run them up way too tight. OTR trucks on freeways always make me a little nervous, are they flying along with hubs full of weakened lugs? Maybe the newer hub-centered wheels use...

You might want to check what torque they used on your lugnuts. Most tire shops stall a 1" drive impact on every one, the result will make your changing a flat almost impossible. Multiply that by 20 for just one rear set... Your weight and 24" bar/wrench will be plenty to hold things together...
