Well I bought some open gear and cable lube from Mc master carr.This stuff seems to be the same as what was on the cable. And proceded to do the cable lube thing today. Man what a mess that stuff makes. We had overspray on everything from head to toe. It took a couple of hours to do it...

Don't have any experience with any thing else, but FWIW, my brakes are stiff to. I think it's just the nature of the beast.

I would also, Price and shipping are a concern. Thanks.

I'm not real savvy on the Military cycles, but I know a little about civi stuff. Looks like a run of the mill Honda XR/XL 250 with a larger gas tank and a few other things added to it. It may be collectable to some. Parts should be available through your local Honda dealer. The dealers tend to...

Judas Priest: Breakin' the law, Breakin' the law. Should play Here. Personally, I think a little Pin up Art is Classy.

From my humble point of view,,, this seems like a convincing argument. I would “like” to say that we could run anything we want in our trucks, I REALLY wish we could, however the law say's NOT. If your engine were a STATIONARY engine, you would have recourse, but operating it on any kind of...

Just did this Mod today to my M35A3, bought the stuff from Amazon, got the Hella reflectors, Hella 70/75 watt 24v bulbs, and some connectors. Took the old military plugs from the back of the original lights, and soldered, heat-shrinked, and bundled, the plugs to the H4 connector. Everything...

Yes, but, just this once. NO PICTURES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure about your particular question. However it seems like ALL med/heavy duty trucks are pieced together from other manufactures parts (Allison, Cat, Cummins, and Rockwell etc.) I know my Cat 3116 has sae #2 housing and the Trans mounts with sae #3 housing. The adapter is simple and...

That looks like a NICE welding job. Most gears (worm) are a standard size. Your local OLD SCHOOL machine shop should be able to source the worm gear BLANK for you and modify it to fit. There was a thread about reusing needle bearings also along the same line. I know it's not "right" but it...

I would be able to make some of these. However I would suggest using stainless steel. I know, it’s not "correct", but you will never have to think about it again. Material cost is the crux. If Stainless is not used then the cost comes in by having them plated. In my experience the Zinc...

My local big truck tire shop had everything I needed, in stock. The price was reasonable to install also, something like 28$ per wheel. However there was a fellow there that had military experience and knew the ctis system.

When she's hopping hard, it's normal for her to misfire. Carburetors need gravity to help them work. The Pro Motocross fellow's had some problems for a few years during/after landing big jumps due to this phenomena ( now that I think of it so did the WWII fighter pilots, that's why they always...

Ought to give the guy 50 free posts just for offering up this stuff. 2cents

Possibly, the leaking air line you’re talking about. I'm not real sure the mechanics of the system but I would guess the air pressure is equalized on both sides of the piston in the cylinder, and any imbalance may cause it to pull. I would always try to fix the obvious things first...

The 545 is one of the stock transmissions in the A3. Not sure what would need to be done to swap to the multifuel. I'm sure it can be done, with enough work....2cents

Put 8500# of dirt,compost, and gravel in it today. The duece didn't even grunt at the load. You should have see the look of pure envy, disgust, what ever...from some fellow that had a pickup with a small scoop of dirt in it. That guy's truck was squatting on the bump stops with the tires all...

Sorry, to here about your Transmission. The folks at Inland Power group were great to work with. John Hendrickson is the person you want to talk to about rebuilding your transmission. They will work with you on shipping also. FYI it was less than 70$ each way (for shipping) for my trans to go...

Hopefully this is the final installment on my end. Picked up the truck today from the tech college. They said the transmission was a "female dog" to install. There is a cross member that is in the way. If an upgraded transmission were to be installed, this cross member probably would have to...

NICE. I like the K.I.S.S. principal. may try this myself if It isn't "stepping on your toes" Thank you.
