The Pop-off should be about 150#. There is also a rubber hose that goes through the firewall, about in the center, but behind the air cleaner (its hard to see), that can leak and its hard to find. Once you have the leaks solved, one air pressure gauge - the one in the dash cluster, will be...

They are a great "all around" tire. There are better ones today, for special purposes. As they wear down, their use on snow & ice becomes more related to the skill of the driver. That said, it was probably time to put the chains on anyway, and then the chains trump any tread pattern.

Keep the Carb adjusted. There is more wear from diluted fuel, then from particulate matter. Also change the filter every oil change.

The other weak spot on the freeze plug heaters is where the cord plugs into them. After a few years of use, they get dirty/corrode and the terminals over-heat, and burn off. When you get them assembled, be sure to apply a generous coat of dielectric grease.

Now don't be slamming the tank heater..... Freeze plug heaters are OK, but you really have to be careful they are installed exactly right. They can pop out and that will occupy all your attention for the rest of the afternoon! Having been here in the North country some 40+ years, I have a...

A tank heater works on thermoconvection - hot coolant rises, helped along with a bubble of steam now and then. The element is in a small tank - output goes up to a high spot on the head. The inlet comes from a drain port on the lowest side of the block. I like to have the supply come from one...

Save your trouble - next time you go to town, just through your money out the window, and skip the trouble. They are not good, and when you need it, cause it really is cold, it won't do the job. They end up with a thermostat in the way. Put a tank heater (1500 watts), or a couple of 500 watt...

Yes

Yes, in my groaning over the crack, I should say "welcome". And consider yourself thourghly initiated.

If it is cast iron - braze it. But Mike is right, it needs to be completely dis-assembled, to do it properly. I would have no problem with the repair, but as described, it might be more trouble then it is worth. If your not going to take it out, don't even bother trying to do it assembled...

Gimp nailed it! Even if its not wallowed out, just using the winch, back and forth, it will fatigue the shear pin, and it will fail after a while.

The ready heater is good. Again, a couple of joints of stove pipe w/elbow, sized to fit inside the outlet bore of the heater will direct the heat better where you want it. Tarps help, and for big vehicles that need starting, or to work on them for extensive emergency repairs, we have used a...

I re-used them. Carefully cleaned them, trimmed the tattered edges with a razor blade, applied a thin coat of silicone to each surface, and re-assembled it. I found why I could not get it into "free-wheel". That side was half full of water and when outside, along about this time of year, its...

I was about to say that you need a new main breaker, until you said that all the machines had the same problem. But why is Speddmon buying new breakers? At the same time, that still might be true. If you get a Clamp Meter as mentioned, be sure to get one of the newer ones that has the...

A survival tool, go anywhere source of heat is a weed burner/20# bottle of propane and a couple of joints of stove pipe!!! Also always have a 90 for the stove pipe - 6" will do just fine. Stick the burner just inside the end of the stove pipe and turn on. The force of the jet sucks in a...

I too, am interested in answers to your questions - hope somebody kicks in with comments. You don't mention how big the motors are, that are tripping the Sets. Haven't been able to try it yet, but I wonder if a 1 Hp well pump will start with the 003? Have you tried to monitor the current that...

The Old Guy that I worked for in the welding shop, when I was a Kid, was a surgeon at this stuff. ... Ist, and foremost, get the center hole centered, then drill ALL the way through the stud. Drill it larger and larger (but not too large), and try an easy-out. Another trick is, about this...

It just looks like somebody changed out the engine and stripped out the military stuff...... Civi voltage reg., fan belt/probably generator, distributer, etc. Here, they also came with ports in the intake manifolds (on each of the three block ports of the manifold), for cold weather gas...

Campbell or Weed. They come in different weights. Others are "wanna-be" chains, and wear out too fast.

Yes! As fast as you want to go.
