    Deuce Brake Bleeding question

    They resemble the plastic couplers that are used for connecting two pieces of black corrugated plastic drain pipe when the spigot/bell have been cut off the pipe. They slip over the ribs of said pipe and are secured with zip ties. This would be a common item utilized by the forest service. Just...

    Safe crane operation

    A couple more safety tips- Make sure the operators' platform is clear of all clutter so that the controls are not accidently activated. And wear clear glasses as opposed to tinted, because eye contact goes a long way between the operator and the ground man.

    M929 mud flap laws

    In this case, I think the legality is secondary, doing the right thing is primary. And having mud flaps on a commercial size vehicle is the prudent thing to do, even if its not required by law. Of course it varies by state. As far as the Texas reference, I would think that law was written...

    Findlay 2015 Armed Forces Day Event May 15

    I was going to let Kip do it, but that dipstick cable in your van is so long, it would have dragged in the dirt. I had a great time, as always. Ate like a king and didn't need to leave the grounds. Also got lots of nice comments on my "Short Bus'.

    Hand throttle idle problem with NHC-250. RPM's rise after a minute or two.

    Hand throttle idle problem with NHC-250. RPM's rise after a minute or two.

    My 932A1 does the same thing. I only use it when its really cold. The whole idea of using the hand throttle is to idle the truck at 900-1000 rpm until it reaches operating temp. I know to be standing close by, when it starts climbing the revs, I climb up and push the lever in.

    air brakes release with engine not running

    Something else to consider- just because the air system is fully charged does not guarantee that the brakes will release. Sometimes if they haven't been used in awhile, you may have to introduce some percussive maintenance into the equation.
