Picked up a new toy yesterday. It's a "cobra crane". Rated at 1500lbs at full extent. It's got two leaky cyls and a ratty looking hose I'm going to deal with. But other than that it's in working order. It seems very strong, but is slow on the 220vac. It can also run off a 24v battery bank...
Can someone tell me which squirter is the newest/best design? I'm overhauling my engine right now and it seems the new pistons included squirters. However these squirters have two ports instead of the single ports on my engine currently. Seems logical that the two ports would cool better, but...
Just got home with a 68 M35A2. Man this thing is a runner! I'm going to install a boost and pyro gauge to see what's going on. But I was able to pass a semi starting off from a redlight behind him.:shock:
Lots of smoke, so I'm afraid what my EGTs are. But it ran perfect and runs cool. This...
I'm heading to redstone if anyone needs me to inspect anything, just let me know. I've set this thread to email notify me, so i'll get it on my phone. I plan on being there by 10am EST. And out no later than 2pm est.
Picked up another MV yesterday. It's a Kaiser M51A2 W/W. Lotta work to be done, but lucky we got it home. The air and fuel filters were clogged up. Take a look at all the mess that came out of the filter housing. I also blew out the air filter and found a couple pounds of "moon sand" as...
I picked up a set of recentered hemtt wheels from KBarrell this week and installed my XML's on them. Just wanted to give everyone pics and a step by step on how it's done. The workmanship of the wheels is excellent. Thick beefy center plates and great welding.
To get started, I laid down an...
The fuel pump died on my deuce. I didn't notice it until I went to change the fuel filters yesterday and found it not priming. The Airtex E8135 runs at 24v and puts out 5-9psi at 35gph. I snooped around and it was the first 24v fuel pump I could find next day (today) and only was $52. I did...
I'm not thrilled with the horns the deuce had, so I'm making a set of my own. Here's the middle one in the set of three I'm going to build. One will be larger and one will be smaller than this one.
:jumpin:
I'm looking at picking up a 5 ton truck in north east georgia, but it has one bad tire. I'm probably going to switch out the tires on the truck anyhow. But I wondered if anyone had a 5 ton wheel/tire (11.00) that I could rent/borrow/buy?
I added a crane to my truck today. I wish I had an M816, but at least it's a start. It's nothing fancy, just a harbor freight special. I'm thinking about snazzing it up a bit with an ATV winch, but I want to find one that has a brake. I broke down my XML/A3 wheel combos, but my sling should...
I've got three A3 wheel weights laying around. If anyone can use them, just pay for shipping and they'll be on their way to you. Otherwise, they're going into the scrap pile.
Well I've been wondering where my coolant has been going. It appears I've got a leak. The truck starts and runs fine, but the engine oil is cloudy, not milkshake, but it appears black/gray/greenish. Looking at a gasket online and the surfaces, I'd think the leak is probably going back into...
Can anyone confirm these are unimog wheels? The bolt pattern doesn't line up for my deuce. :(

I've got them listed back up on ebay for the mean time. Any idea if they're worth what I paid ($200, I thought they were for a...
