I picked up a very nice xm211 this week. Looks great, runs and stops very well. Today I was backing it into a parking spot and the rear wheels began to spin on gravel as the front axle needed to climb over a 6x6 timber. No luck. The front axle would not pull. The whole 6x6 system on this...

I am in the middle of the job of replacing my torque rods . The drivers side lowers went on fine . The passenger side is a different story. I need about half inch of movement I think to get them installed. The old dog bones where almost completely worn out so I’m thinking I just have had...
While not an airplane I thought this may be the best place for this.
This has been a side project I’ve been working for while. A friend of mine is a full time picker for his occupation and from time to time I’ll tag along . Last fall on one of the trips I came across some radial engine parts...
There’s always one. Got all of the lug nuts loose but one inner budd nut. The end broke clean off. Other than buying a $70 tool to remove it what’s the best course here?
Looking at replacing the copper lines on one of my trucks. Searching through the forum there is a lot on replacing return lines and the use of nylon air lines .
