Zout and Swiss (and the others) Hang in there guys. I know this feeling like trowing in, to heck with it etc etc. Banged my head against that wall so often I have extra bumps to show for it. Especially with our US non-profit. Then I got into an enlightening argument with two of my best...

Its amazing how quick a tread gets snowed under these days; this thread is down already to the lower end of page 2 of updated threads in just a few hours. :wink: :wink:

BUMP Payback time, help those who help

As a director of a non-profit, I can fully support these feelings; been there and done that, have a sore throat and empty bank account to proof it :) :wink:. And really guys and galls, they should not need to be begging us. As they say, this is not only a small local topic but a test case and...

No worries, mate, Sorry I couldn't do more, all our private money gets eaten up by our own non-profit.

As said, I was a bit tired. I do have PayPal for our US non-profit, but without money. So I first donated money to our own US non-profit to get something there, then I used that account to send money your way. At least for as long as this action goes on, maybe add a line to your signatures...

Swiss and Zout, Its getting late here and I am a bit overworked, so maybe a bit dense as well. Zout, your argument of the lot of small donations is correct, although I never managed to get it working to our organization. Then again, I am not bad in some things I do but certainly am a lousy...

Gympyrobb, nothing to do with the thread, but I now noticed your rotating-self-refreshing avatar. Nice (and not only because the girls :hammer:, just never saw the concept before)

Thanks for the video. You would like to do that only with flat seas and very good weather forecasts that is, minimum winds for a day beforehand already etc. I have been sailing there and that North See can be one nasty piece of business even in nice weather and it can change very quickly. The...

The Dutch used stranger things to cross the seas. But if you come, W&P might be a cheaper way for me to meet some SteelSoldier people than going to the USA for it. :beer: :beer: On that note, maybe, maybe, maybe we will go to a blacksmith meeting in Delaware August 13-16, 2014. Any trips or MV...

Actually, the second driver has to make sure his truck stays straight behind the towing truck; slowing in corners or not being straight behind the truck would be a problem because the second truck would push the rear of the first truck sideways. However, I think with a heavier towing truck...

. As said, no US military stuff available unfortunately. In Europe, a standard tow bar is just a very heavy tube about 6 to 9 feet long with an eye at each end. One eye goes into the fish-mouth coupling of the towing truck, the other in the front connector of the dead duck, ready. The standard...

Yes I read and searched. Just too many different answers and not applicable on my situation. Also, I live in the Czech Republic, Europe, so the typical US shops or rentals or whatever are not available to me. OK, to business: I probably will end up towing the truck to its winter location, about...

Re-assembled the control valve assembly Put the steering back together again today. Before doing anything I loosened the steering gear box adjusting nut a quarter turn. The pronounced clack is less, but I have a lot of free play in the steering wheel. Still the left turns goes hesitant, right...

The whole set-up actually looks like these caravan - camper (RV) window sets you can buy here. Or the old windows for the person box on the older Avia civilian or V3s army truck (Czech Deuce) small truck. I mean those strange square boxes they had instead of a cargo bed.

Tried to find the civilian eager beaver but found this eager beaver http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ICKLGYs8CE8 :jumpin:

Did a day of shopping and I think/hope I got everything. Tomorrow everything has to be put back and work since the truck has to move 15 feet to make room for some wood for burning. I took the two old hoses connecting the valve assembly to the power cylinder and had new ones made. 10...

Maybe a good idea to add some thoughts to this thread on how to preserve items directly after they come out of the electrolysis so to prevent they start rust immediately again. I can spout some ideas what I think but that would be without any basic knowledge on the topic. Not talking about when...

Maybe the fact that I have about 12 or more tabs open while working might play bugger also. Some of the text of already posted stuff stays in the reply section, but this one stayed empty regardless what I tried. O well, lose a few.

I found a good larger company specialized in hydraulic stuff. Showed them the valve assembly and the guy there saw no reason to scrap it. He actually had the seals on stock and, very big surprise, even the hose connectors. The seals came to a dollar and twelve cents for all three seals (two...
