I bought that blaster. It is a pain in the ass to work. Clogs all the time, and goes through media like crazy ! I bought 4 40Ibs bags and they lasted only 1/2 hour. Tried to adjust it to work more efficiently, but it will not work correctly. Only works full on. Plus you need a full protective...

I like the idea of seeing how high I can make it "bounce" ! Of course that would take some serious hydraulics to perform that feat !

If I don't paint them then the "Zombies" will see me coming down the road and eat me ! :wink:

I got three wheels together today. I'm pretty sore now too ! As far as "tit's" go. Yes there are some. I have to go over the whole wheel and ring with a file to knock them down. One interesting fact though. The tires don't "pop" when inflating. They just slowly slide on the galvanizing until...

I know it's hard to find a shop that can handle a Rockwell double reduction differential. Even when I was rebuilding them there was only a handful of shops in Seattle that would even touch them. It does take a day to completely rebuild one. The two speed double reductions are even more fun !

Exactly right ! Sometimes it's just the sludge holding things together. Then along comes clean fresh fluid and washes all the gooey sludge away.

I got two of the three tools boxes for the shelter from Harbor Freight the other day. They are mounted to the back wall with "Riv-Nuts" . They are really secure too ! I accidentally tipped the trailer trying to load the second tool box and the main box stayed totally secured to the wall ! Yes I...

Well I finally had it with rusting wheels ! I took off all my wheels and some spares I had laying around (21 total) and busted them down. I kept the good tires and tossed the rest. Then I took my wheels and rings and had them sand blasted. Then I took them to "Seattle Galvanizing" in Arlington...

Exactly. NAPA used to sell "bulk" brake lining that came in different widths in long strips. You cut off the length needed and then drilled and riveted them to your shoe. I remember this old fart (which I'm now a club member ! ) who helped my father install new linings on our family tractor. He...

I worked at IHC in Tukwila WA. We also used to steam clean brakes if they had "fresh" oil dripping on them. If the brakes had the oil sit on them for longer then a week then we would replace them. Same thing at the transit department. It was all about the time the shoes had to "absorb" the oil...

I've seen this wrench in person. It can handle up to 100Ibs of torque I believe, which is fine for a car. If I remember right the internal gears are made from aluminum (we took it apart to see) . Still it would be handy for your car or pick-up truck.

I bought that 2000Ibs tranny jack last year and it works fine on our deuce's transmission.

I just reread this last post and it seems like I'm being "snarky" about a "real survivalist" . Could not be further from the truth. I'm just saying that if your going to be living as a "prepper/survivalist" you need to have parts to keep your rigs going. In a real "SHTF" scenario there will not...

Glad to help.

Exactly what he said !!!!

The MT640 flows much more oil then the AT540. The coolant lines are twice the size as is the radiator. I believe the MT640 uses a AN18 or AN20 fitting .

What's the purpose of surviving a "SHTF" scenario if your going to kill yourself driving a truck with dangerous brakes ? A real survivalist will have stocked piled parts to fix his rig when the time comes. Not try and "shade tree" repair it. I want my rig running like "Mad Max's" if the...

Yes there are a ton of torque converters you can use. So find the one with the highest "torque multiplication ratio" and lowest stall speed and go with that one. Usually it will be around 3:1 with a stall speed of 800 RPM .

The MT643 weighs in at 510Ibs dry and 638Ibs with retarder. Add the 18 qts of oil, and you have your actual weight. Then there is the weight of the cooling system and hoses and extra oil. This information is from my factory manual.

Yes a complete front pump assembly, which will include the stator support. Then you will need to replace the torque converter. A good low stall TH400 converter will work as long as it has the six mounting holes.
