I worked at a tractor dealership for several years and had to dismount combine and tractor tires all the time. I used to use an air over hyd. jack with a remote actuator. The remote actuator was in the air hose about 5 to 6 feet from the jack and your air supply line plugged in to it. I would...

Stout I have a friend that works at Stout. I have a relative that works at the school you stoped at. Anyway, the friends i have at stout, one works in the yards there and the other works in the motorpool, they both said they were willing to inspect the trucks there for a fee. I don't know for...

Isp It would seem that someone has taken offense to what I have said above. I normaly don't reply to an attack of character on me by someone who doesn't know me. I don't find it juvenile at all to make a point and back it with fact. But if you would stop and look and catch the point, you may...

ISP Someone above stated that the ISP is known for it's military style tactics, well let me tell you they should change their name to the Waffen SS. I do not even get any of my Military vehicles out on the main roads here anymore. The Nazi's in my area are writting tickets for anything they can...

Trailer I had three on a double drop trailer. One m35 w/w, one m35 w/o/w, and an m49. Most double drops have a spare set of ramps or you can use the rear ramps on the front deck with the later one as the option I had. I pulled the winch model up on the front deck as far as I could. I had to...

paint When I posted my post I was trying to place the Idea that the Equipment paint was another viable option. It sells for the same and sometimes less than your exterior grade house paints. And I can buy it here local for less than ordering it through a supplier. It is an oil base paint, you...

Paint Places like Ace and other paint retailers have machine grade paint that they can mix in any color using the computer thingy. I painted an M416 with some from Ace about 8 years ago and it has held up fine considering everything the little trailer has been through. My 101 with the pump is...

105 That was the good side. The tail gate was rusted, bent, torqued out of shape so bad you couldn't even get it to close half way. Anyway another local find that has been saved. I am going to try and have it done by the end of the month, so I will post more pics then.

I have an XM105E3 trailer that I just got done Building a brand new bed for, I reused the fender wells and floor but the rest is brand new. This one says it belonged to the U.S.A.F. I am going to sandblast the frame and running gear this weekend. I have the new bed primed and ready and hopefully...

Nope No the one oxpower model releases to much methane gas into the atmosphere and damages the Ozone.

Fluids I used to put windshield washer solvent in small tractor tires to add weight. Won't freeze, easy to clean up in case of a blow out, as well as less harmfull on the environment in case of a spill during a blowout. Won't evaporate in a sealed tire full of air. Won't eat the paint on the...

Prime Ok we figured it out. One of the discharge valves has a small leak and lets just enough air in to loose prime. If you screw the cap on one turn she will take off and pump like there is no tommorrow. I am going to take the valve apart today and see if I can fix it. Thanks for all the Ideas...

Pump Ok I found someone I work with who used to do sales and service on pumps over here in the oil fields. He is going to be here either Thursday or Friday. I will let you know how it turns out. Thanks for all the help.

pump I plan on a complete restore of the yellow one if I can get it going. The red one is going down to the local water fowl area once we get it going.

Pump I think this is an Exhaust primer. Here are some more Pictures.

pump If you look at the top of the pump you can see two outlets. They have the caps on in the pictures. They are the two round things above the inlet. You can see the black control knob for the valves sticking out to the left in the second picture and to the right in the last picture. Just to...

Here we go. I am at a loss. I can't figure out why it won't hold prime. It sucks alot of water up to the pump within seconds. It builds the 50lbs. of prime like the directions say, you open the discharge valve about 1/4 the way and you can feel and hear the pump take hold, the back of the...
