Yeah...that's a bunch of shite! I have my 478hr good running multifuel sitting around and a guy in the business tell me he'd buy it IF it was nice and cheap. I asked how cheap and he told me PRETTY cheap. He's advertising injector pumps for $600. I'll keep it.
Yeah, the NDT's get on my nerves. I'm glad they've done their purpose...and we've been moving away from them in their typical round carcass design. Look at it this way, if you're going to beat something into the ground you're not gonna leave the bottom of it flat or blunt right? Right, you're...
Recovery, the deuce I pulled that axle out of was a '53 Reo. The nuts on the studs holding the chunk in were nearly rusted off. None of all three of the axles had vents on them anywhere. Truck was a factory singles truck and didn't appear to have ever had any part of the axles opened up...
I looked at a set of these for my truck then came across a set of hard to find XL's. Did you price those 10 Firestones yet? I was around $220/tire then mounting and tubes and that jazz. EEEK!!! S.A. Traction ND is a really aggressive tire! The tread is nice, no full center to spin...
I had a '53 Reo that I pulled one of the rears out of to put in my M715. My M715 had a vent system that connected both axles, T-case, tranny and engine as a factory set up. I thought I might get into some deep goop with it so I connected vents to the axles and plumbed it up to a high point in...
Chuck's Trucks has a set for $2000 for four of them. Crackheads. I ran across a guy that thinks with a little time he can round me up a set of 'A3 wheels so I'm pretty much holding off making a spacer for a while. I'm still going to be getting the 10 hole wheels. We'll see...I still got a...
I will tell you from general Rockwell usage, Detroits are VERY positive in these axles. If you're running NDT's, you're gonna get stuck again...BUT, you probably won't have enough traction to break an axle. On the road, you may get a bit more of a straight push. Remember, they lock when the...
Let me tell ya, I got a pair of really nice ear plugs that I can roll up and stick into my ears until they touch my brain!!! HA-HAAAA!!! Instead of driving a squeaking, metal rattling, vibrating, owner built LOUD piped, non insulated, built by low bidder to be blown up, military truck...I'm...
Thank you Robert, Robert. :) Monster Man, see that little shaft sticking out of back of the transmission...upper right rear, if I recall. Shift the tranny into 1st/granny gear...now go look at the position of the shaft. Now plop it in neutral...and look at the shaft, then go to reverse and...
Well this idea might win me a Darwin Award. I've got a small electric fuel pump that I had bolted to the bell of the CAT when I first got it so I could run it with a line straight out of a plastic tank. It ought to pump brake fluid and maybe hold 4psi in the line. After I can run some diesel...
Maybe this is a little late...what type of fluid should I be using?
With the garden sprayer thing do you just crack the bleeder then and it's already a pressurized system? That's what I'm getting from that.
I'm going to look up speed bleeders now. Hmmm, what size thread are our bleeders...
When I got my truck the brakes were fine, half pedal and hard. When I changed motors I happened to pinch the front brake line and it cracked when I tried to round it out again. I replaced that line and tried to bleed the brakes. Pedal has been soft ever since. Any proven methods aside from...
Monster Man or any others, before you dump the stock E-brake, get under there and have someone pull it to make sure that it's moving at all it's pivot points. You know...there ARE grease fittings on the E-brake. My stock cable was seized...like most so I got a new one. My stock E-brake shoes...
Lee, I like to have a handle on things to have them work. Air and a properly adjusted sprag may be fine, but I want to manually shift it...it's just my personal preference.
Ahh, Dave's a good guy! Nice find...hope it works for ya!
I've not had any part of that T-case apart...oops, I did...
