    crane truck in flood for sale

    I didn't get an answer on the phone so I sent them an email. I looked a little online for pics and I think it might be an M816. It is green and looks to be all military. I don't know why the city has it or where they used it. I'm going to sneak out there and get some pics. There is no fence and...

    crane truck in flood for sale

    There’s a deuce wrecker/crane truck at local auction that was in the flood. I don’t know what year/maker or anything because they didn’t list it on the sheets and I don’t know if it is a 2.5 or 5 ton or its “M” number. (I have to call them; a lot of items are miss-marked on the sheets) It looks...

    10kw genset powering plasma cutter??

    I have a chiller and dryer from our set up when we did the blasting. Everything is still hooked up in the shop; all I have to do is disconnect everything. The manual talks like you can do up to 2” fast, and then up to 3” at a slower speed with a different gun attachment. I know it talked...

    10kw genset powering plasma cutter??

    The 320 amps are where I'm confused. If it's suppose to produce up to 400amps, I don't understand why it needs 320amps input. Looking at the chart, the highest amp is 370 with 180volts. The lowest is 115amps at 575volts. Yet the paragraph above the chart says 80kva 50/60herts. :confused: I was...

    10kw genset powering plasma cutter??

    I am hoping to make a portable unit using my 10kw genset and Hydrovane compressor and a Thermal Dynamics plasma cutter I’m getting. I don’t know if I can power the stuff with the genset. I know the compressor is 220v but I don’t remember the phase. The plasma cutter shows powers of: [The...

    Welding for dummies

    I’ll jump in here. I’m taking welding at the local collage right now. We were told to always bevel the edges on anything thicker than 1/8” to ensure a proper penetration. Your talking sold bars but if the edges were just butt jointed, you would not have much penetration at all. I would bevel...

    CUCV Water Fording info needed

    I wish I had a diesel CUCV. I've always had Chevy’s from the 70's and 80's. I like there style. I normally run cold with the fan. I didn't remove the fan though. I do have an electric fan and mount from my 3rd gen camaro that I never put in. I hope I don't have to get to that point. The problem...

    CUCV Water Fording info needed

    The search option is working correctly for me. :( I have a normal 78' chevy 4x4 that I believe is very similar to the CUCV's and I need info on water fording. What is done to the trucks to make them ford water? I don't plan on driving in anything deeper than 3 feet. Is the a TM online dealing...

    SSSSHHHH, I am working on my blinkers

    I'll remember to lick my finger and touch around the lights. :lol: I have a 53 gasser M275 that the lights kind of worked on but after I plugged the trailer harness connector into a commercial non-military dry van trailer everything quit. It's been awhile but I don't think the headlights...

    M35A2 brake fluid reservoir location????

    Sorry to say but I have some bad news for anyone interested in the FOD’s. I heard on the news before that the actors that play the part of the ball players have retired or something. I didn’t really pay attention to the broadcast that night but there was something about a final walk into the...

    M35A2 brake fluid reservoir location????

    I was lucky when I got my m275a1. The guy/company I bought it from said they were putting in a new speed-o cable and would top off the fluids. I didn’t check ANY of them because I went on his word. I noticed the speedometer still didn’t work but I figured maybe the gauge was bad. After I had...

    mobile home axles for non-mobile home trailers

    Re: RE: mobile home axles for non-mobile home trailers I have to comment here. I live in a small, 30 trailer capacity, court. A few years ago a neighbor that was a slob that had garbage and stuff lying around her yard got evicted for not paying rent for 6 months. She came and went at different...

    Funny looking headlight arrangement...

    My 53' reo is lower as well. I suppose I could take the horn and blackout out and put headlights there and have "Low beams" and "High beams" :D Get it? haha. But that would make it a real 4 eyed monstrosity . :lol:

    Old moderator...

    It was odd that he just quit posting. After he traded with me and headed on with his route and back to Texas he stopped posting. He said he was trying out for the sheriffs department and was building a place at the same time. He was glad to get the free tar bin that was on the trailer. :D The...

    Genset ground rod

    RE: Re: rod I had a thought, if you are in the desert, couldn't you just dump water on them? I am picturing the ground being mostly sand and if it gets wet and the rods are smooth I would think they would slip right out. But maybe dumping water isn't a good idea if your way out in the desert...

    Why does the front axel have a thing on top of it?

    I had to move my tractor yesterday and a buddy of mine noticed the front axle has a thing on top that looks like it would be used to connect it to another axle. I have no idea what it is. I found a pic online of one that looks like mine. What is that thing for?? It has a square flange with 4...
