    Emergancy air hook up.

    Air brakes are bulky and cumbersome. At least the air chambers are. With Juice brakes, the brake mechanisms are tucked away behind smooth backing plates. Air chambers would hang out on one side or the other, of the axles. I would not be so concerned about the air lines, as much as I would be...

    Emergancy air hook up.

    Question is a little vague, but if your refering to the Emergency line on the truck, when hooked to a trailer (w/air brakes), it merely supplies air to its system. If the air pressure in that line is cut off, with the Tractor Protection Valve, or by accident, the trailers Relay/Emergency Valve...

    M818 on a regular height 60" flatbed legally????

    RE: Re: M818 on a regular height 60" flatbed legally??? Over hight permits are easy to get, and usually only require a phone call. Some States, like here, 14' is legal. You do want to respect the Route they give you though - sometimes the Bridge is really the hight they say it is. Lee in Alaska

    M101 Dump Bed

    Actually, I suspect that the "dumping feature" is a side effect of the fact that they made the tongue, so that if the tongue frames rear bolts are removed, the tongue can be rotated vertically, for storage/shipping purposes - the tongue frame part that is under the bed, rotates downward and acts...

    Dumping Deuce

    Looks great. I mounted a spare deuce bed on a farm wagon, but use the tractor hydraulics to power it. You have to be careful with them, and always be on level ground, when you raise the bed. Lee in Alaska

    Tire changing problem....

    RE: Re: RE: studs and nuts When the inside square lugs come loose, while removing the outside lug, its often, but not always, a symptom of improper torquing, in the 1st place. Then use the "pork chop" to hold the outside one, while you tighten the inside. Then remove the outside. When working...

    Brazed rocker

    Over the years, I have seen some really, really cobbled repairs/fixes on military equipment. The above is in the "ho-hum" category. Comment: When that engine is running, its an "oil atmosphere" in there. So I wouldn't be too concerned about the brass being in the way. But, it looks like the...

    In tank pump failure, pics

    Those so called "shims" direct the flow of fuel to the outlet hose. The motor turns that rotor/impeller, centrifical force draws fuel into the center area of the rotor, which flings it down the little chute to the outlet. The rotor impeller, the "shim" thingies, and screen cover that holds it...
