We have a lot of big bearings that get scrapped and motor shafts. Thinking of sinking a 55 gallon drum in the ground. Place a shaft in the drum that extands up and out four feet. Fill the drum with concrete and slip two large bearings down the shaft and sleave tha bearings togeather. Mount...
I am still waiting on my first but the old convertable in the garage is gonna be sold. Will have to look at another for investment or parts either way it works.
I read on wikipedia 35,000 trucks in 2008 with the order to replace with M1078's by 2010. Some write ups on transfers and such. Part of that draw down was the making of M35A3's that combined two A2's for every one A3 that came out?
Had an old freind in the south that he used to work for tips at a gas station as a kid. One of his jobs was to keep five quarts of skimmed oil handy to sell. The owner kept 55 gallon drums that old oil went into and they skimmed the clean lighter oil off the top. Distilling without heat, old...
Is five micro the answer? I have purchased a couple CD's on Biodiesel from ebay one list's used motor oil as a source. To many talk about plant source, better to use what we have in the petro group first. Starting out with used motor oil should remove the acids and reactive agents and just limit...
My shop goes through a lot of industrial gearboxes full of syntheti oil, kerosene, motor oil, even corn oil. There must be a range or weight and thickness that you have to meet for the trucks to run. Painters have a screen that they pour through that measures the thickness by the drain time for...
Thanks I feel better about a truck that could have been setting next to yours. My truck is pretty close to yours in every feature, lots of luck. My EUC is off being approved.
This is my new never owned one before M35A2 truck at redstone. Good low numbers so I hope the dice roll went my way. Anybody who will drop in Redstone before my EUC comes back would be great to hear from.
1963 1/2 Ford galaxie convertable, still at home.
Five more hard tops come and gone...
had a truck that did that because of lash in the steering box, more goes on than you feel. Can stand on the brakes and clean the woble until the next event sends it into the wobble. Wont do it above certain speeds. It's an Idea.
Just a note PPG makes a self etching epoxy base primer that is a total oxygen barrier. The paint above it can take a rock but the primed wont come off without a grinder. Great stuff.
Where is your truck? I'm a retired Sub man myself, understand the feeling of being outside the correct field. I just purchased a truck at Red stone arsenal and hope its as good as it looks. There is a guy on ebay who is selling a great cd with operator and tech manuals. I'm getting ready...
Purchased an M35A2 at Redstone Arsenal last week. Wont be able to pick it up till my EUC clears. Hope most of the truck is still there. I'm retired Navy and moving from antique cars to this seems like its going to be a lot of fun. The truck I purchased is suposed to run and looks good, low...
just purchased and awaiting my euc
Purchased an M35A2 out of redstone and expect to pick it up in three or four weeks, time for my first EUC. Hope there is still something not picked clean. Any body deal with trucks that have been converted to keyed ignition. Is it just a simple tractor...
