    Hydro-Max Brake Assist *pics added* (long read)

    Try and get the pump or if they're both Saginaw pumps, pull the outlet fitting, pressure valve and spring all out of the original H-Max pump. I found that pump to have more pressure and flow then a 3/4 or 1 ton pump. *most* of the ones I had found ran seperated systems for brake and steering...

Generally you have two choices for brakes; Pinion brakes or wheel brakes. Stock drums are removed due to weight and the fact that...

    overdrive gears available soon

    I think that torque rating is actually a little high going by the original spicer numbers, from what I've been told. I believe that like everything else they're quite under-rated. Here's an example of the durability of these trannies; my V8 CAT is 225hp and 636 cubic inches. I found where a...

    Hey that's neat Bjorn! Mine won't be as impressive as I'll just have to aim the mast and spool it in. I could use mine like a fishing pole where you'd pull up then spool in as you lower, them pull up...

    RE: Hydro-Max Brake Assist (long read) Good call Gimp...I hung a pedal. Got the pedal assembly from the International S1700 the booster came from. I made up a mount that bolts onto the stiffener between the firewall and dash at steering column. Reinforced it all with angle iron top and...

    RE: Hydro-Max Brake Assist (long read) I'll have pictures up in a couple of hours. I ended up finding a nice York air conditioning pump, the kind that are easily converted to onboard air systems, and mounted that where the old compressor was. Don't have it plumbed yet but that will give me on...
