There is not a hole, just a damaged area. You can see where the front differential front flange got against the pan. The front flange was turning at the time, from the scrubbing that is evident. There is no hole from the inside out, I have seen that too often in the past. The engine turns over...

When the head gasket blows on an LDT 465 1D, where does it usually let go? Between cylinders? Or into the water jacket? I know Westech had a leaker, and others have too. I am just curious where the failures occurred. If everyone who has had one or seen one blow would chime in, I would...

You could also build an old 292 Chevy straight six. Those old engines were really torquey, and can be bored to about 315 cubes if I remember correctly. It would be a good fit as far as width is concerned, and would be fun to drive. I had an old C-60 dump, '64 model I think. That old 292 would...

Both my GL experiences have been pretty good so far. Prices are higher than in the old days of sealed bids, but the people have been good to deal with. So far, no complaints. I ended up with $518 in a motor. $440 bid, $44 premium, the rest Al. sales tax. The only reason I bid that high was that...

I have a lot of contacts in the painting business. I can get a lot of parts done almost free, just drop them off and pick them up. Of course, it works both ways. I have sent many a motorcycle helmet down my line in the past.

I picked up the engine I bought from GL Anniston Alabama today. It was listed as a Hercules LD 465-1. When I opened the can, I had an LDT 465-1D. The motor was made by White in 1986. No rebuild tags, so it should be all original. Everything is there but the clutch and the generator pulley. The...

Look at our sponsor, Saturn Surplus. I have bought a couple of small items, first class service!

Powder coating is dirt cheap if there is a job shop nearby. Better yet, look around the phone book for an E-coat job shop. If you blast your wheels, then spray a little oil on them to keep them from rusting, you can usually get them done for about .25/lb. That gets a zinc phosphate coating, and...

The only manual I could find on the Govt. website is the parts book for the R6602. TM 9-2805-203-34P Direct and general support level maintenance, parts & special tools, Continental R6602 I have it on the 5 Ton CD I compiled, but I can't find any other info on them.

Looks like a modified M36, with dropsides. Interesting looking crane tackle, looks almost like something from a cargo ship.

Go back a page to the "Pulling Engine" thread. I posted the TM# and page on pulling the powerpack. If you don't have high speed internet, send me your snail mail address and i will get a CD manual burned and on the way to you. I am getting ready to do an engine swap myself in a few weeks...

My Dad is having knee replacement towards the end of next month, so I will be going down then. If you want me to pick up your tires, let Chip know. Pay for the tires, less shipping and I will pick them up. It would be a little while before you got them, but you will save a good bit on shipping...

How did you determine when you had turned it up enough? EGT gauge? Engine smoke?

You would only need the fan in stop and go traffic, or when idling for long periods (like when using a knuckleboom). At speeds over about 15-20 mph, you will have enough air flow across the radiator to keep things cool. A viscous clutch lets the fan mostly freewheel, until the air coming off the...

About how many flats did you turn your fuel up?

I think GL pulls auction items if they are not bringing as much as they think they should. I have seen other trucks pulled at the last minute, especially if they are going fairly reasonably. Kind of like a reserve auction on E-Bay, but they're just not honest enough to state that.

Kenny How do you actuate the deuce brakes? I thought you might be able to go from the glad hand on the tow deuce to the same on the towed deuce. Would that work? Or are there some check valves or such in the way? Joe I listed my bro in laws Harley on E-Bay a while back, had 3 Nigerian scam...

The problem with leaving a diesel in gear is as follows: If it is bumped by another vehicle, it can start up and take off! A roll grinding shop here in Carrollton bump started a diesel F-350 ( older model with fuel shutoff cable) in the shop. They were loading a 3000# steel roll on the back of...

The prices are not bad. Shipping is not terrible, compared to gas prices for the drive. When I get ready to make the trip, I will give everyone a heads up. If anyone wants any brought to the Carrollton area, I can do so and store them until they can be picked up. I periodically head down to...

That is how I found him. I have spoken with him several times, and am planning a trip in the next week or 2. He has around 180 900x20, 210 1100x20, NDT tires to choose from. He also has 395 85 R 20, 1400 R 20, 1600 R 20, and 1100 R 20 tires. Look on Ebay under Military (EBay automotive) You...
