    m422 wheel cylinder help

    It may be 1 in for the front, and 3/4 for the back. Larger in the front is typical of older drum brakes. Haven't pulled the brake drums off my mite to know yet.

    Can you spin tire?

    That's funny.... My truck isn't broke, and anyone that knows me will tell you it's one of the best maintained trucks around. Now that I've upgraded to 11-20's, I no longer spin the tires.

    Picked up a sand blaster

    Gimpy's pot is a 600lb clemco. Have to remember 1/2 pipe is about 3/8 on the inside. Not sure if that's what measurement you used for CFM. Either way, it's propably too big. We are on the hunt for the proper hose and nozzle. The fairmont is repowered with a 5.0 fuel injected motor, and AOD...

    Picked up a sand blaster

    Free is always good. And waiting for air sucks. We stuck a 1/2 pipe nipple on it for testing, and it blasted with it fine. Compressor was running full bore, 80-90 psi. The blaster has a remote system on it, you put air to a valve to close the vent valve, and open the supply valve. Would...

    Picked up a sand blaster

    The one pictured by gimp is now at my house. It takes up the entire bed of a pickup truck. I'll get some pics up later. Yours is similar, but is smaller. I'd think they both should work the same. When we tested it yesterday, I'd say a mower deck should take about 4 mins! It's really quick...

    Got my OD Iron wheels and tires on!

    If your sprag transfer is acting up, there a an adjustment procedure in the TM. Putting lockouts on will not stop the front axle gears from turning on a sprag truck, and may cause the spider gears to spin quite fast, causing some wear. Easy temporay fix until your sprag is fixed or replaced...

    Tractor pull results

    Naw, he won't break a 5 ton. Maybe a 2 1/2 ton would break.

    I finally found a set of Beadlocks!!!

    I thought the other rims added some class to the truck. Looks more like a MV with the beadlocks.

    Towing an M37

    I would say the legs should be the same length. Are they the same at any of the positions? Looks like one leg has the MWO modification collar, and the other's don't, which sounds like the legs are from 2 different tow bars.

    My Cheap and Easy Parade Top

    Yea, the standard top will make you sweat getting it on by yourself. Maybe one of these days my truck will be nice enough for parade duty. Unless I need the top for something, I leave it off, no sense in wearing it out. Then I have to get my sorry butt up and down 6 times to install it.

    My Cheap and Easy Parade Top

    Did you know the standard top can be rolled up on the sides? Mine has straps attached to he bows and top, works pretty neat... Won't have extra height without extending the staves.

    Picked up a sand blaster

    retracted and lowered, yes. M108 fits under 10 foot easy. And there is some room with the tall valted ceiling to extend/raise the boom.
