    Thoughts on WAGO connectors

    Tape has a correct place in electrical work: Coding black wires for phase, neutral, or ground. Also to change another wire color on both ends if necessary.

    M1078 air brakes

    Think about it: When not held back by air pressure, that spring locks the drum/wheel/tire of a heavy truck. Right now.

    M1078 air brakes

    Use caution with the air pots like that in your photo. The brakes are activated two ways: The smaller device will use air pressure to apply them. The larger device is a spring chamber, under considerable pressure that sets the brakes if air is lacking. Sort of a fail-safe and a good parking...

    Super Single tire swapping

    I lost a 14.00-20 Goodyear mid-axle on my M54A1. On a dirt road, maybe 20-30 MPH. Jeeebus, it was hard to keep from letting it get crosswise cause it dug in hard. Come to think of it, maybe the front axle came online because of the slippage and that is why I was able to get it straight. I...

    Thoughts on WAGO connectors

    2018 NFPA electrical code for virtually every outlet in a house other than 30A ones. Supposedly because of fatalities from electric blankets... Yep, they are a weight-loss item, from all the exercise one gets running back & forth to your breaker panel. Tell her to call someone to take them...

    Wiring help, seeking wisdom

    The temp & oil senders, Bendix regulator plug, horn, and the dimmer switch wires come out on the driver side, and run down along the firewall. If I remember rightly, the brake light switch wires come out on the passenger side, then connect to the rear loom along with the rear lights and fuel...

    M105 trailer...

    Ye Olde 105 is a real off-road trailer from the beginning. Stout, easy to maintain, good brakes when properly towed. The non-directional tires will last many moons.

    Where to look for M35s/M109s?

    Type IX Single Component CARC Painting?

    The same chemical that escaped from a factory and killed hundreds in India. CARC is dangerous to apply without proper gear and methods.

    M105 tire conversion

    For less than $100 worth of tools and learning, you can change them yourself. They are NOT 'split-rim" wheels, rather Goodyear safety lockring style. Tools, tires, tubes, and flaps are available, PM me and I can set you on that course.
