I agree with 98G. Give this subject a bit, there might be a place for this.

I'd do the winch truck. If you are gonna be in ugly terrain, a winch is useful. The 925 has troop seats, so bows are easy to find. They are the same between the M35 and 800 series trucks. A cover , might be tough to find a tan one, but there were some made. There used to be a fair amount...

In the Cummins world, cracks were fine as long as they didn't go over the edge and start toward the lands. I see no issues. I'd run it.

And I did forget to mention that the LO and any TM for this vehicle or related one do not have a capacity for the non drive or the clutch side. The drive side should hold 2.6 pints, the clutch side, no info, so, I just filled it with 90wt up to about where the shaft goes through the drum...

This last week made a little more forward progress. The front winch was rats nested just like the back winch. The socket was wedged up into the fairlead but I was able to unwind it a little bit by cranking the engine with the ignition off. That was a while ago. I got to looking at things and...

Try turning it reverse rotation.

Yup, some trucks the fluid just disappears, some not. My deuce never lost any fluid, the 5 ton I just did lost all the fluid in the MC with no leaks. Topped the cylinder off, worked the pedal and brakes were back. Didn't even need to bleed them.

^^^This. If it is locked up, no starter you put on it will make it spin. If it will not turn in normal rotation, try turning it backwards.

If when the gauge says it is hot, see if the upper pipe is hot. I don't understand why the s-stat sender was put in the upper pipe. tehe pipe is never full.

There are no data plates on the thing, that's why I was stumped. It was originally a USAF unit, I think, because it is blue inside, as is the other one. The only ID on them is the plate with the wiring diagram that ID's it as MB-5A made by Libbey Welding. I just deleted the pics off my phone. I...

Yeah, manila folders tend to be a favorite of some people at the compound even though I have recommended that those NOT be used, probably the reason that the machines don't cut as they should. The oil in the board is supposed to lube and keep things sharp.

OR a rental of some sort. One of the last rentals the Museum had was for something something that sounds like Revel Goon. The stuff that they rented was truly junk. Broken parts in a pile of broken parts that were ready to go to the big dumpster in the sky. There has been an up-tick in studio...

Let me know. I can do 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 and 1 3/4. We are limited to the length/width of the board to 6x20, because that's all there is in stock. However, McMaster sells them. Might be best to just buy a small pack anyway. The boards in inventory are old and brittle and don't cut well sometimes...

I would like to do that, but, in my experience working on things with overhead fuel tanks, some boats, generators, fire pumps, when water gets into the fuel and has an opportunity to sit, it will find it's way into things like lines, filters, boost pumps and into the actual fuel pump. I did...

Probably still have it in the pile of stencils I made. Does Herbie need refreshing?

Did some goofy easy stuff on the beast tis week. Fixed a non op low beam, bulb just NFG. Attempted to get the turn signals operating. Had no light on the stalk, so I figured i'd start there since I have had multiple T.S. stalks be the issue of no turn signals or flashers. Found a pushed back pin...

Well, pulled the unit up to the shop and started digging. There are no tags on this that have an NSN, what TM s are used, nothing. Got it all opened up, put a tool on the crank and it turned. Good sign. Started looking around for batteries. It is 24VDC. Found it! A single 24V, 31 Ah aircraft...

Or just puzzles. My wife got me into that. But I only do them when we go to the beach.

It is a pretty cool beast, however, it has been the cause of much pain, suffering and frustration. I also forgot to mention, after all the clutch hubbub, I tested out the rear controls. I set the throttle to wide open at the rear, disengaged the clutch and put the crane drive into gear. The...

Nah, that's why YOU play with lightning and I play with pistons! And, my friend, YOU are one that I need to thank for all of the help, encouragement and pushing my happy azz along when I got to a stopping point. I am forever in your debt. I owe ya some 3 bean salad or smoked mac n cheese!
