My neighbor down in TN, a former GE mechanical engineer (small-town Kentucky farm-educated "hillbilly", never went to college) was given a used gator that needed some work on the brakes. It needed new brakes. JD dealer quoted him some absurd number in the thousands for calipers, discs, master...

That looked like a possibility, but I read a boat load of reviews talking about separation/dripping. I’d already bought a couple tubes of Valvoline Crimson on the recommendations of several of the “elders” here, hit all the zerk fittings on the truck, hung up the gun and several weeks later...

Your sense of sarcasm comes through loud and clear. I learned the hard way I need to take my doors OFF before pulling the truck into my garage: I ordered a set of handles but wound up using a 2-1/2” or 3” (I forget) deck screw to hold the broken one together. Drilled a pilot hole...

Well, I’m assuming that parts which are stamped with US manufacturer codes and/or NSNs or part numbers are most likely those made per MILSPEC contract details. Stamped, roll-stamped, engraved, otherwise indelibly marked per DoD guideines. I have received several items from the Lupine Parts...

Um, do us all a favor, would you? If you don’t start any sh*t there won’t BE any sh*t (to quote Will Smith). Talk to the specialist, do what she says and no one will get hurt. Thanks.

Nothing personal, Action, but unless you start at the beginning of this thread, your comments are irrelevant to the conversation. ”the two things” would be the PS cooler, PS pump, and more. I’m just not up for the time/trouble/effort/expense of the crimped/swaged/fitted hose project and...

Hey, Joe. Pays your money, takes your chances. I posted a few months ago about one of my Optima batteries dying. I had them connected to a 24volt charger which only ever showed them charged. This despite one cell dying (or however the heck it is the newer AGM batteries are arranged...

The smooth stuff's on it now (PN 6490610019/12338957, stock part #s), should be fine, just want to start with good hose. 12 feet total. (23" + 41" + 45" + 29" with fudge factor), have the HP (blue) hose already. I'll PM you, Juan. Got your paypal info. Thanks.

Made charger connections using SAE fittings. Had some other connector in place (Anderson power pole), but believe it or not they DO wear out and lose connectivity. Had also used a 24V charger in series (like the batteries are wired) but when one died months ago, got two of the smaller chargers...

Thanks, Juan. Having a bear of a time even finding this stuff in stock. H10106 shows up as either discontinued, out of stock, can be ordered, and at prices from $2.50/foot delivered to almost $7.00, with several suppliers selling aftermarket (Chicom? Mexican? Who knows) hose WITH the WH part...

Yeah, most likely. I had stainless steel braided hose on a Norton 850 Commando many years ago cinched up with 1/4" hose clamps, didn't weep or anything. I called around, no go for instock hose H10106 Weatherhead 3/8 at NAPA or several other places, but I CAN order it in bulk (50 feet spool)...

Well, that’s where it gets really freaking interesting, you know? The stock hoses are all the stiffer, reinforced stuff with a polyethyline liner (not nitrile) and they’re held in place with simple hose clamps. The newer, higher pressure hydraulic hose, while metal/wire reinforced, has a...

Found this on Dr. Evil’s jungle site: https://smile.amazon.com/JGB-JFlex-Hydraulic-Hose-Length-1-Wire/dp/B0107OADUU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1523843175&sr=8-2&keywords=3%2F8+hydraulic+hose+bulk This look right? I can have it here Tuesday, no driving around amongst the gray hair crowd or rush...

Thing is, I started with the low pressure fittings (single hump, hose clamp), which shows up in the repair manuals, NOT in the parts manuals - those show the later, Aeroquip-type fittings with a bleeder fitting near the solenoid. I upgraded to the newer fittings. Question now is, who has the...

If I had a hose full of nickels... Specifically, if I had THIS hose: 6490610019 http://www.nsn-now.com/Indexing/PublicSearch.aspx Which I didn’t, so after pouring over the web looking for one of any of branded part numbers listed, the ONLY one I could find was the stock part numbered hose...

CALL the Glen Burnie office Monday AM, ask for a specialist (that’s the buzzword) who deals with military vehicle registration and title. I went through this in Oct ‘16, spoke with a very nice older woman who knew exactly what and how. Wound up registering historic, went through a local...

Well, after doing it the OTHER way, start engine, turn hard left, turn off, repeat fifteen minutes later to the right, and again, and again, until the foam went away. Of course, cranking on the hose clamps at the pump seemed to help. Ahem. New hose is on order, have clamps, have truck in the...

I thought of you when I wrote this up. I'd intended to replace all the hoses when I bought the thing two years (18 months and counting) ago, just never got around to it, or a few other things. Got the correct hose ordered from Mac Motors, will drain system and do some plug and play soon...

Curiously, as I poke through the manuals, it looks like the low-pressure fittings were original issue; the high-pressure fittings later, but I bought them, installed them, bled the power steering system by the instructions everyone else seems to swear by (the later ones, with the pump mfr advice...
