    A3 Fan Clutch

    I was thinking about that last night after I wrote that last post. In todays vehicles with "Automatic fire suppression systems" you must have air apply. That way if a fire starts you won't be "fanning the flames" when the fire burnt through the air lines as it would go full force on. Well if he...

    A3 Fan Clutch

    Almost all Air-Operated fan clutches use air pressure to "Apply" the clutch. Most air clutches have drilled and tapped holes to put bolts in, in case of loss of air-pressure. There are some air operated fan clutches that use air pressure to "release" the fan (Bendix/Kysor) but mostly Cat has...

    That's some beautiful work there ! I also really like the way you rebuilt the AC regulator ! You should do that for some side work.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    All these different types of wood sound great, but I need one that I can actually afford ! A friend of mine said "Ironwood" is a good wood that will hold up to rough use and outside exposure. Anyone know of a cheaper and more easily acquired wood ? I know Home Depot doesn't sell anything near...

    The good and the bad of owning something tracked and/or armored?

    About 20 years ago now there was a "White" Half Track for sell near Fife WA. They wanted $5000.00 firm. I thought that was a great deal ! I found out it was missing almost all the armor and the engine was seized and the tires where shot and the track was busted up so bad it would never move...

    Hey Valance, you still haven't answered where you got those nice door window seals from. Those would work great on my truck which as I speak have no seals on them !

    For those who don't want to buy new valves you can change the handle position. You must grind off the handle pin and drive it out, then reposition the handle and drill a new hole for the new pin or small bolt. These original valves are quality units but they are the "wedge" friction sealing type...

    Mep002a trouble starting runs good need help

    Another possibility is the one-way check valve before the injection pump. If this is dirty it could be holding up the valve and allowing the fuel to drain back. Or the injectors could be dirty. Or the filters plugged or the fuel pumps filters dirty or pumps not working properly. All these...

    Supplies for a Long Trip

    That's good to hear. My mother had MS for 45 years. In the last 4 she couldn't hardly move or speak and the mixture of pills and other drugs they gave her took her mind. My sister had power of attorney and made the doctors do everything they could to keep her alive. She stopped eating on her own...

    I use "Dynamat Extreme" for the floor and walls and ceiling. Stuff works great but it is expensive.
