Hey 2002, how does your water truck play with the Cal laws regarding MV's? Just curious.

So there!

An old Timkin data sheet I saw said the G744 rear axles were designed to handle 22K per.

Years ago, I was brokering some 5-ton axle sets to an exporter, they were going to Asia. Seems they were rebuilding old G744 rigs with extended frames, supporting 20 cubic yard boxes to haul gravel. I guess that answers your question about what they will stand. In that capacity tho, I'd...

This got me to thinking, I have a pair of 35Hp, 144V DC motors that were originally in Ford Ranger conversions. They need new homes. Thread hijack over. D

Pulled no shafts. Xfer in N.

It has been some 25 years ago, and things were a bit different back then referenced to "legality". Twice I flat towed w/military towbar HUMVs from Phx to Oakland, Ca with a big rental box van. Figure some 900 miles, with a Mutt in the back of it, too. B4 and at several stops checked tires &...

Hi PanzerWillie, I have a complete hydraulic dump system in the classifieds, if you need that. Best, Dennis

One trip to school with the 5-ton and you'll know you will have no MV's in your garage. They'll all be in his! :p

I've had several Hercules DD298 powered gensets over the years. They all smoke a bit of black at high load, and some light grey when starting. Keep in mind, those plants never idle: They spool right up to 1800 RPM from still, and that adds a bit more wear to things. The vintage 298 is a tough...

Ken, your M715 is really enjoying your dedication... DG

Could be the usual beer run in Hidden Valley...

Mad Max down south? Hmmm...

Yep, that Caddy motor made plenty torque under 4K RPM, and that didn't bother it at all. Lots of reciprocating mass there... D

Nice dedicated effort making those old transmissions work again. Years ago, I inherited a M211 with no power pak, so I retrofitted a Caddy 501 V8 and a turbo-400 with the extra low first gear. I'd seen it done on several used in field harvesting. Mine worked fine both on and off road, but...

No relay used in tactical air horn setups...

Stock spring mounts. No need to worry 'bout it, they were made that way on all G-741 chassis trucks.

True that... Severeal times I've offered to help out local organizations for free when needs arised. More than once they accepted, then some connected guy got bent out of shape at me. Turned out he had an under-the-table $ deal, and I "screwed" that up. Fuk 'em.

MV's mark their territory like a dog...

I'd check the torque on those H2O manifold bolts... Then again, check every one you can see...
