I had to find the info. There is some crazy stuff up North. Didn't know this would get done but there it is......done. Not many pics again. Two guys, 4 hours, relaxed, lots of breaks and the Power Plant in Piglet is Pulled. The most time consuming part are the 30 Torus bolts. Found...

After 900 km and 2 baths the Fort Mac power pak pulled in beside Piglet today. Why is it that every part of an engine is designed to throw spray back in your face when you're pressure washing? I ate decades of dirt. Left a decent mess in the truck box too but the Simple Green does a great...

Sure was a worthwhile 11 hour adventure to see the cummins implant first hand. It's got a shift lever. I did not expect a standard transmission. Very cool swap. Mopar man loaded the 302 and trans so I could bring it South for a bath. A big thanks to the Northern man who threw down to keep...

Hey you're new around here! Welcome aboard. Some of these posts are over a decade old and maybe folks moved on. Guys are looking for carb options so grab some pics of what you have set up so far. The 885 linkage is a bit complex with a linkage to the trans. A holley swap might take some...

THE SHOE FITS, the Shoe fits and the Shoe fits. Happy 4th of July folks. For anyone wondering if the 5 ton wheel off a 5 ton cargo truck fits the 5 ton Oshkosh 240 it's a yes. The shoe fit. For anyone wondering what's happening with Jellybean, the shoe fits. I'll let the new owners tell...

Drive-shaft removal 5-ton preparation for transport. Not many pics but I did check with the professionals at youtube before removing the 5 ton drive shaft. U-joint removal on a 5-ton looks scary......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdi5VX-X6hk It turns out if you maintain your truck like the...

Not many pics because wrecker guy kept me busy after making me read the book. This had to happen. Jelly bean came out of the hole like a handful of Jelly Beans at a dime machine. The rubber issue is solved with a used 445/65 R22.5 off a cement truck that just happened to show up...

Your timing is great. Both for the adventure and your accumulator explanation. I took some pics to give us some detail on parts and we can see the spring from inside. Trying to picture the assembly line in 1951 and asking the mechanic to simply squeeze this spring to 325 psi then shove it in...

I had to play guitar tonight and asked the question to avoid the labour. lol If someone said they don't fit, I'll have fingers to play tomorrow. If someone said they absolutely most certainly fit, I'd need to lift things and risk breaking a pickin' nail. A 445 / 65r 22.5 on rim is in the...

What the.....where the.....how the.....what the...... I'm stumbling for words. Is that a CF-55-AF? What the......how the....does it drive.....what the....what the....when the......what the.....who the....... I first saw it a Pima....not my pic. Two faced little truck that is............ Is...

Ironically, I just got a partial donation for Piglet that will take me so far away from Washington I won't be able to smell my Aunt Ollie's bouillabaisse or Cousin Clive's fishing boat. Uncle Melvin was one of Washington's top tree fellers for a long stretch and man I miss visiting their...

Where are my rubber and rimmer guys??? Will this 20 inch 5 ton rim fit the P4 Oshkosh.....for loading only. Jellybean has one tire that won't take air for some reason. I have surplus 900 20's I can slam on the yeller 5 ton rim but really would like to know the effort is going to be a...

Just off the phone with Niagara truck parts. Ralph knows our needs and is looking for a reduction unit seal / gasket kit. He still has parts for the transmissions hiding in a barn that takes some digging to get to......sounds familiar. I am going to PM you a different number and you can text him...

You made that look easy. Most of us let the smoke out. The key is to keep the smoke in the wires. Once the smoke starts coming out the solution gets longer. Nice work!

Don't get me started on cameras......ooops, you did. The dome cameras are also set up with two way comms. The director can speak to folks near the site. Imagine sneaking down a side road to empty some water only to have a voice from no where tell you to put it away. It's also easier to...

This was too funny not to share. I received a picture from the director of the museum. Just a picture, no context. It appears my good deed to ask for a picture of George in front of the radar dome set off the alarms and triggered the security team. I guess I should have warned security that...

Well there he is......going, going, gone. Everyone enjoys a love story. George and Gracie are going to be seeing each other again real soon. The plot adds a twist when we discover Gracie has been in a tri-truck relationship with what could have been a pole truck. We do have pics coming but for...

Differential venting G749 axle. How does the diff vent? Has anyone stuck their finger in the rear end to find their vent hole? I did! I can't find it. The block on the rears has four holes....One in for the brake fluid, two out to the wheel cylinder/ brakes.....and one hole that's...

Any good news with your 40 year old present? Rubber is such a gamble I'm always curious how things look when opened. Let me know if yer rubbers are soft. Canada Post claims they delivered it somewhere so hope you got it. The Canada Post team appeared to use 12 days to deliver covering 64 miles...
