I also chase the threads on every bolt I remove and chse the threads witha die if needed. Every bolt I remove gets anti sieze in it, no matter what. You never know when you will have to take it apart again. Especially when it is easier to remove three thigs to get at the one thing you have to...

You need to pull the wheels and take one of the wheel cylinders apart. You will find a great deal of sludge and rust at the bottom of each cylinder. I believe that is because of the seperation of condensation in the system from using the Dot 5 (silicone brake fluid) The fluid is lighter than...

All this talk of putting a smaller steering wheel on the five tons and deuces, What a difference forty years makes. I had to change my old standatd five ton wheel with one from a 800 series because of the above mentioned guteral interference. I haven't heard so may medical terms since my last...

I bought two extra tires for the mutt when I restored it. I figured I would want them for a 416 trailer but never kept one long enough to change tires on it. I wrapped each of them in shrink wrap and have had them stored in one of the sheds for a number of years. Did the same thing with the...

High pressure water from a steam cleaner or pressure washer will bend the fins on radiators real fast. I think there is more damage done right there than to the alernators. After all they are supposed tobe waterproof. Screw up the air flow through the radiator can cause it to over heat and...

I chock my five tons everytime I park them. I also try to always park on as level a spot as I can and turn the wheels into a hill or curb. Chocks really don't mean much to a five ton or the newer (00's witht he 1400's. they are just too big for such a small bump. I almost always forget to pick...

No aspestos in floor tiles since the forties. It's all vynl tile any more. The only time we come in contact with it is when some old home had multiple floor coverings applied and it finaly got to the point that cabinets won't open. Industrial or commercial applications are becoming rare and...

I didn't mean that. Hot out around here today and I was out in it way too long.

Time for some condesending sarcasim

We like pulling the powerpacks as unit using the wrecker.A whole lot easier to work on them on the ground or make a cradle for it on rollers os you can move it around the shop. I made a sling to grab both lifting point on the engine and keep the load either centered or it canbe tilted to...
