That is a difference between the military preventative maintenance and units that are in civilians hands. Not saying this is your case so do not misunderstand this post.
Military had a designated PM schedule and it really covered everything you could think of if you have looked at the TM's...
Idea of what those Power King tires look like on the rear.
Zout has to get a burr off his mind:
Wiring - if you do not know how to properly do it - leave it the **** alone Or read how to do it right - get the TM's to do it properly - but do not hack it - cobble it or what was called n- rigging...
Absolutely awesome work. That unit looks great.
Those stud guns remind me of the Indiana Jones movie where the pigmies are shooting their blowguns - hostile territory.
At least you know you are safe from pigmy attacks.
Great paint work as well along with your body work.
All 5 tires are mounted.
Fuel fill pipe is almost in - need to pick up two new rubber hoses for the connection and the SS clamps. Will get that rear tail light harness repaired this afternoon - board is cut and marked for the floor. Vinyl yet to be chosen.
No brake parts arrived so I am dead...
I know its 95 out right now with 50% humidity - but when I get outta here I plan on having the last two tires broke down and mounted - all will be mounted then.
Loaded the frig with more beer so it wouild stop vibrating off the counter.
Shoes are done for the front getting re-lined but I...
Dedicated to the mission. If OF had not spent part of the day chasing down pics for me - you might have gotten it all doneaua.
It all comes down to the small things doesn't it.
Keep them pics rollin in -
Hope none of you folks invite that young kid back in that Jeep Cherokee or whatever that JA was.
That homeless guy sleeping in the hamock when we rolled in the first night by himself is another story. I guess he is hooked onto Drew now.
ALso what might be a good idea is add a little and I mean litle dielectric grease to them. It aids in disconnnecting them when you want to remove them - it does not pass elec current through it - aids in anti corrosion.
But EH - whadda I know and its only my .02 cents worth.:driver:
Fuel fill tube is on its way from Troy at Vintage Power Wagons who found a great used one - and really in-expensive.
Brake cylinders should be here by tomorrow hopefully - brake shoes getting re-lined locally - should be here tomorrow. I am going to use Silicone fluid by the time they are...
DAO - not saying this is OF's collection.
But during the Great Depression all the folks that traveled West for jobs brought whatever they could with them in their vehicles. If they broke down during the trip and lack of trading of items - or bartering for repairs or parts they abandoned...
Just waiting for a call back from then at this point to see if they have a used one.
Got the little frig in the garage full off liquid refreshments and believe I will work on hammering the crap out of some split rings tonight and get a couple tires broke down - cleaned up and mounted...
3 caskets for sale a while back.
Thought about getting them and giving one away to someone - but the other 2 for our use. But then I did not think Deb would greatly appreciate me thinking of her like that yet. Nothing like being totally prepared and save $$$$$$ in the process.
I guess she...
Gotta tell ya Olefart - I never expected pictures - and for you to take time to do that is greatly appreciated.
On the extended body of the 43 then is where the additional length of the pipe would fit into as shown. With the 34 - it just extends out the body.
I did see where that support...
This is really funny - I have to remove BLUE paint off the metal info plate yet to be able to read it. What is it with BLUE paint.
It is single 230/460 at 13.5 in the 230.
Neighbor is a professional electrician and will not be back from Canada till Fri night. Wanna hear the best part - GOT IT...
Great job - except when that bald guy sticks his head in the pic - My glass transition to sunglass's rofl.
I thougth for sure that little PCV valve would kick someones butt and be the end of it all:driver: - but - wisdom over smashing things ruled.
Sure looking forward to seeing that baby fire...
Here is what those Power King tires look like up against the unit - tire needs to go to the other side as they are directional - but - gives you an idea.
Here is a new TOY I picked up last week - gotta my Electrician neighbor to wire it in - here is a Zout flaw - I do not do household...
DR - nope - I think I am going to pretty much stick with these just to listen to some folks bitch how non original it is.
Like I tell some folks - I take donations and I will buy a original set NOS tires for it - all ya gotta do is send me the $$$$$$$ - but I hold the right to use the funds...
