Deuces tend to slobber oil like stuff out the exhaust if they are idled a lot and not run hard. It's normal.

I think the OP is talking about oil filters. ;-)

200 deg sounds a little high on the coolant temp. I have a hard time getting mine to 180 deg on a 90 deg day, with turned up fuel, and loaded heavy.

If the bottom end looks good and there are no unusual noises, I believe I'd button it up and run it.

If one bulb burns out it breaks the circuit and they both go out. I guess you could call that bad but nothing a new bulb can't fix.

That is correct as long as the PTO is out of gear. If not adjusted correctly the PTO can still be in gear with the lock in place. With the truck shut off, put the PTO in neutral and reach under and see if you can turn the shaft. If you can turn it the PTO is in fact in neutral. You shouldn't...

It really depends on how good of paint job you want and how bad the body is to start with. If you do like Adam you could easily get it done in a day but if you have a bunch of pealing CARC and want a good job it could take a 4-5 days or more. The last truck I painted took every bit of two...

Only time I've ever welded the spiders was on demo derby cars. We did it real dirty. Pull the rear cover, stick a 6011 in there and go to welding, pour the oil back in that you drained out, and go. Of course the rear only had to hold up for around 30 min max. We finally quit doing it because...

Yes. Read the first post of this thread and follow the link.

The main problem is the rough steel against brass. If the bull gear was steel I wouldn't be too worried about it.

I'm with G. There is no "channel" in the housing. Nothing in there but the worm gear and the bull gear. Looks like you're in for a complete tear down.

You know, after looking at the pics again, you may be right. It kind of looks like something could have very well grabbed it from the bottom. First thing I'd do is pull the cover off and see what the inside looks like. If the damage is all contained in the brake housing, this can be a real easy...

Well considering scrap is about $280 a ton and a M102 weighs around a ton, I'd say he did ok.

:ditto: The be doesn't even have to dump if you have a winch and a rolling tailboard. Most oilfield trucks don't dump. The dump angle will help loading and unloading go smoother though. It would be very hard to load something on wheels with this setup though. It works best with something...

:ditto: This is what happened. you can tell by the deformed end plate that the damage wasn't caused by something external. The plate has been shaped to the shape of the end of the shaft. The A3 hyd winches don't have a shear pin but the hyd relief valve is supposed to limit the torque to the...

As others have said, it will run a blaster but not a big one very well. It would be more than enough to run a small one in a blast cabinet. Most big blasters run best on a fairly good sized screw compressor. You can find decent used screws fairly cheap if you look around but be careful, they...

I know 3 phase is more efficient but is efficiency lost when you use a phase converter of some sort? I would think a 3 phase motor ran by a converter would actually be more inefficient than if you just used a single phase motor but I'm not sure.

Could you explain this statement more? I'm not understanding why you would loose torque at low RPMs. The motor always runs a constant speed on the lathe.

I've built several phase converters for other people. I've always been told to go at least a few hp over the motor you're trying to run. I've recently added a 3 phase lathe to my home shop and have all the stuff to build a rotary converter. I'm thinking I may just go with a static unit though...

Yes, it's in Summertown. Southern middle TN.
