Seams like a whole load of fuss. Why not just calibrate it at home. After all you are measuring "foot"-"pounds". Got a tape measure and a shopping bag? Everything from the grocery store has a weight on it (less the tin/jar etc), but loose veggies, or packets of grains/sugar etc., have...

Having trouble following your references; 24P - 2 has a fig 387 but not relevant and 34 - 2 doesn't list fig's......? However - There are two controls there #'s 8 and 11 (from the -10 TM, page 2-120) One is for the clutch (engine -transmission) the other is for the rear winch cable...

I've done a rebuild thread for both level winds (which do a wonderful job when working) - they are easy enough to strip and service, even a little modification if appropriate grease fitting is missing. Spare parts will be the issue if you cannot rejuvenate the damage. Though stuff like felt...

John - where did you pull the 24v for the lamps from? I thought the trucks main (lighting) system was 12...... with only the trailer port on the crossmember (pintle towing) as 24v. Bye the way - I have almost finished my flatbed attachment (PLS type deal for the fifth wheel - ballast platform...

Arrrrgh! LEGO has no plural! - email LEGO USA or pop into the LEGO store Rockefeller center/ LEGOLAND if you like, but that is the honest truth. LEGO describes the bricks. (A bit like deer or sugar) Really cool model though! Hey - it's OK to "Have a Thing" (rant) etc.......

NO, you don't need a battery for this test. You are measuring continuity. You are looking for 'clean' circuits that have infinite resistance (1) because they should be switched off and not running to ground (the -ve side) which is the drain you are looking for. Any circuits that have SOME...

The only way I have ever found a drain was to remove the batteries altogether, connect the battery cables together -ve to +ve at each battery, pull all the fuses then meter across each fuse holder to see which circuit has continuity - which they shouldn't if everything is "off". Once you have...

Yup - I lost a front tyre (34K original miles) on my 916A1 last year/'14 going to and from the Sussex NJ and Weare NH events. Found out that I had almost an inch of 'toe in' - got a pair of G-177's and put the toe in back out to only 1/8" and wear since seems acceptable.

Hey Carl - what's with the banjo hole in the cab cill?... or did I miss something in an earlier post.... Was it for lifting the cab into place? Securing antiglare scrim over windscreen? For friends to chain door when you are sleeping inside?

Welcome Pete. Was that one from the recent Army Cars sale?

So you have a civi gooseneck trailer and want to pull it behind your 5-ton...? Depending on the comparison of; trailer weight/truck capacity and heights; hitch adjustment to frame or 5th wheel, there are many options. Pics of your truck/trailer to see above specs would help. If your trailer...

Look at the space on the back side of the teeth that are in contact with each other. That space is back lash and only needs to be "perceptible" to feel. There are plenty of pictures on google - "gears meshing backlash". Good luck.

Yes - you are looking to get a 'fit' of the gears that is not 'tight'. There is supposed to be some "backlash" which means a slight gap between the teeth when going from drive to overrun. Too much gap will create noisy operation and premature wear of the teeth and too little gap means friction...

Didn't your mum tell you it's rude to point? I might not be able to make it this year - axle fires notwithstanding, had MCL/ACL surgery yesterday so doing my own version of the gimp and driving may be out.

Ill try to get down. Kick start the year. Clearing out stuff, I have : Large Med tow bar (non telescoping) ... [$120] 20 ton bottle jacks, (BII M916) ... [$35ea] 1 ground spade for wreckers or tractor (M818 ) ... [$80] Tire chains for 22,5's (M916 etc) ... [$90 ea] and of course I have...

Just got back from a funeral trip... got invited to go to pub Sunday for lunch... then we went to a gravel pit to play in the mud.

Yes it is. There are some operational pics on their web site. Haines Towing NJ.

Obviously not Ron's neighbour - but they do exist. Can't imagine that any little mom n pop tow company can afford one though!!! I know of this one in NJ. Has a big decal on the boom that reads "80+ Tons". The owners father started the business with a couple of WWII ex Navy Air Corps - Sterling...

Just have all your duck in a row - passports, ownership papers/registrations/insurance/suitable drivers licence for that vehicle in Canada - airbrakes etc... Don't go over your allowance on booze or spare gasoline/diesel. Make sure you have names/locations of destination/reason for trip etc...

Go back to post 150, 153 and 163. I think we were talking about this back then. What pics do you want? - I've got 30/40 or so of other trucks with Holmes 750 and 850 gear..
