Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I appreciate the cable advice but in this forum I really was trying to learn how to use search correctly. Is there an operator to search ALL terms and not just any? Quotes do not seem to have any effect either.
Thank you! It's great that folks take the time to share the fishing rod!Ok, so who's next? Let's play stump clinto!
No clue on this one.Thank you! It's great that folks take the time to share the fishing rod!
I don't want to stump anyone but I would like to go through some of the more difficult search terms like the following.
"Glass Cement"
This is found on Page 110 TM 9-8025 when referring to a compound used in the assembly of a water pump from the G-749 - 302 gasser.
When a guy searches 'glass cement' you're going to get dental glues and bonding agents for glass. My first brilliant idea was to start with mechanical sites and water pump re-build links to find different ways to 'phrase' what I was looking for.
I haven't found the term any where else after searching through 'stovebolt waterpump' 'how to rebuild a water pump' 'water pump sealant' 'water resistant sealants' and a few other combinations. I haven't stopped looking and the answer may come from a veteran mechanic or a Steel Soldier before the net reveals it but it does create a tough position when looking for unusual terms.
.....So, what is "glass cement" and what should a guy do when he has 'common' words to search for?

Which as I've noted can be used in the search in the top right which is google.From Google Search do the following
"Deuce Rims" site:steelsoldiers.com
The same syntax will work in the google search on the main page of the site on the left. I just like to start at Google, bad habits.
Other key search criteria for google based search engines are below on how to get what you want when you want !

He means supper, duh.When you say dinner, do you mean lunch?
That actually worked well glassk thanks. There was some info that the p-4 shared the same drive-train as the front load cement trucks. Still checking that. I also found out the trucks were called M-1500 in the civi world so I searched the termP-4 Oshkosh, start broad and then start narrowing down keywords,
think some may share drive trains , although that is a guess too,..
