    m-715 floor pans

    I have a non-computerized friend who recently purchased a fairly nice m-715, I am attempting to locate parts for him. Any body know if Jeep Panels Plus is still in business? Website for them is no longer up. Is there another vendor with reproduction floor pans? Thanks.

    Boyce Remanufactured 2 1/2 ton 6 x 6

    Either a snow plow or a power gate pump, I've seen them used both ways. Heavy duty design, some times I find them cast aluminum sump, and some are cast iron. Being on the front, I would lean toward it's use as a plow pump.

    Trickle charging two batteries in a 24v system (Ferret)

    Smashy, You can not 'backfeed' 24 volts , as each charger only 'sees' 12 volts. Now, if you were to connect a 12 volt charger across both batteries in series, that would be something different from what we are suggesting here. Just treat each battery/charger pair as if the other didn't exist...

    Trickle charging two batteries in a 24v system (Ferret)

    No reason to separate batteries, (I have all kinds of equipment that runs two 12 volt batteries in series,so I have years of experience doing this.) you can charge them as if the other battery wasn't there, as that battery only 'knows' it needs 12 volts, and doesn't care what comes before or...

    Legendary Halftrack Junkyard

    About 30 years back, a yard I would frequent, had a halftrack with a Holmes wrecker boom on the back (good for the muddy season, I suppose), seeing the words halftrack and junkyard together jogged that memory. Thanks.

    Medical "Study" on diesel exhaust

    Without life, there is no death. Perhaps Cali will look into banning life next. Fact, smoke is not good to breathe, our ancestors 10,000 years ago knew this. How about some new 'news'.

    Engine Oil used in TH400 instead of Dexron

    I stand by my earlier post. I ran two Nodwell tracked carriers(similar to a morooka), on powerline right-of-way maintenance. Drive system was 6 cylinder chevy, th400 auto. 15w 40 motor oil in the trans. 12 years of service out of one, only half as much from the second, due to a roll over...

    Engine Oil used in TH400 instead of Dexron

    Can't agree with the post directly above. 15w-40 is listed as an extreme duty lube for automatics. ( Edit, Too slow,a post in between. ) (second edit) 15w-40 needs a significant warm up time before use in cold weather

    Replacing spring in a springer seat with a air bag ?

    Air seat from an '80s GMC should fit, as they had low headroom. Stock seats are just bad,comfort was not given much thought.

    What oil to use?

    Regarding post directly above, At a lube school I attended some 30 years ago, the information imparted to us claimed fully half of the dirt and grunge inside of an engine was introduced while changing or checking oil. Food for thought.

    DH, search feature is next to useless, 143 pages come up when "pinion brake" is searched. Don't be so quick to pounce on someone with your 'use the search' directive. Search needs to be fixed.
