sometimes after a january thaw the lower corn fields flood and then as they drain they freeze over leaving a few inches of perfect ice on the ground.. Back when my M38"A5" had very-wide tires i would take it out to do 2WD ice ballet , get a 500ft running start, crank the wheel and let 'er twirl...

actual resistor

1: the resistor reduces voltage to the coil , IIRC .. 2: it's been so long since i had a jimmy i have forgotten what pieces are in its ignition system .. On my 5-ton gassers it's regular practice to keep a spare resistor or two in the glove box because when they burn out it's all over now...

tore deeper into the cadaver PT pump today but not into the main body .. the suction gear pump can come off the main body in one easy piece , although a previous post above shows the gear pump "halved" to expose the gears the gear pump's driveshaft pushes easily in/out of the main body ...

in a pinch i made two washers from a damaged tire tube flap.. To match the thickness of the original i glued the two washers together with rubber cement .. Have accumulated an assortment of gasket-making dies fabricated from sharpened scraps of conduit and whatnot over the decades .. And one...

when i saw the underside it immediately hit my instinct to grab a rag and grease gun ! :LOL:

it worked fine for me while it lasted .. I didn't even bother to remove the return spring

Awesome !! Many years ago there was a TV commercial that asked, "Is it Real, or is it Memorex? " (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

do any of us here see any reason why the "emergency" shut off cannot be used as a manual shutoff with just the addition of a return spring? .. I did that on one of my M818's for a few months while waiting for me to replace a bad solenoid

i always took everything extra in a lot , some of it came in handy.. However, back when i had a 60's-era commercial D7 w/o winch, a period army D7 winch "in crate" popped up on a DRMO listing.. I bid on it and won (sealed bids at the time) When they forklifted the crate out to my truck i...

i don't know which cap is original to the jimmies but the XM211 i once had had a selectable vented cap just like what's on my M51 and the M52 (gassers)

well, no takers or guesser, but thanks anyway.. I finally have it squared away on my own by taking off hoses from the other truck and matching up the end fittings to this one It's for the oil return line coming from a big Luberfiner external engine oil filter, which is something that no...

Good call !! i had a CJ that did that once , kept dying out until i jerked the wheel and sloshed the fuel around.. the cap vent had a restriction ... Brad's jimmy fuel tank likely has the vented cap with the selector lever inside .. It might be turned to "off" .. Man, why didn't i...

one of the things we did in the motor pool to FNG's (or each other if one of us forgot) was to start a 5-ton when the guy sitting in the truck to your right had rolled his window down .. Guaranteed to spit watery soot all over a clean uniform :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: .. yeah...

well-said !

.... and this morning (tuesday 27may) was past-due time to take care of a couple things on the M817 First task: Connie says check for the fan bracket bolt/washer/spacer upgrade ... OK, the OMS shop beat me to it (y) Second task ; disable the cooling fan's time-delay relay per...

spent memorial day (monday) moving composted cow & horse manure to someone's large garden and spreading it out.. 6 loads heaped to the top of the cab protector .. although very damp and packy, the stuff was lighter than expected Ground still too wet to get the loader into the pile thus...

It sure presents as a fuel restriction or a breakdown of spark, but without actually hearing the engine it's hard to nail it .. Everyone has covered the possibilities .. Something will pop up sometime (y)

reminds me of the Corps of Engineers data plates on a 40ft crane boom i had .. Each boom section had more data plates than a barrel full of monkeys !

nice ! the PTO is a rare plus on an IHC "industrial" .. The lack of drawbar stinks, as it may be difficult to find one (and its front mount and rear support) if you decide to install one.. W4's/I4's are not plentiful in tractor graveyards.. I'm 51% sure the setup from an H will not fit yours...
