I wonder if you could get one of the standard 5/16 tubes and find a larger tube to act as a sleeve to get the tickness you want? Actually, the last one I built I made it out of plate steel and welded it up. I cut the plate to the correct dimensions, laid the pieces around the hitch I wanted to...

After you figure the weight of a knuckle boom and a load of logs, I think you'd want a 5-ton. Just the log bunk should do fine. My cousin has a M35A2 with a set of log bolsters on it. He said about 1,000 ft of logs is all you wanted on it.

TSC has the tubes with the reinforcement ring already welded on and the hole for the pin drilled. I think I gave something like $25 for the last one I bought there. Northern Tool has them from $12 to $44 depending on the length you need.

I'm going to give Adam heck about that pic next time I'm down there. :p We are always picking at each other when I'm there. Now I have something on him. :twisted:

Shipping prices can be all over the board. A lot of factors come into play. If you just call up a trucking company and tell the to go get it the $4 a mile figure isn't out of line. If you can talk to a broker that will find a truck needing a back haul the price will be cheaper. How much cheaper...

I wonder why they didn't just use a standard 24v M-series gauge instead of a 12v gauge with a resistor?

I'm pretty sure in all states the sf97 isn't worth the paper it's printed on if it doesn't have your name on it. I don't think I'd even carry it with me to the DMV. It may just add to the confusion and give you problems.

Goose, You could go with a A-frame hoist off the front if you have a winch. Do a search for "A-frame hoist". There are several threads.

Maybe you need a session with my therapist.

Here's what I do with my extra oil not used for fuel- http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/78251-oil-burning-wood-stove.html

I think most of the bad rap the zipper boots get is the rubber quality of the reproduction boots. If you're buying reproduction boots you have three options. Rubber solid, rubber zippered, or silicone solid. None of the reproduction rubber boots hold up very well. To my knowledge nobody makes a...

I've been in the CV-22 simulator at Hurlburt Field. Pretty neat to fly also. I was also amazed at the graphics of the simulator.

one of the reasons I don't burn any more WMO than I do is because of the mess. I don't know of any way to keep it 100% clean. You can minimize your mess if you're careful.

You should cage the chamber whatever side you are working on. DH is correct about the new chambers being non-serviceable on the sprig brake side. The ones I've seen still let you service the non-spring side though. I've been keeping all the old style chambers I can find because it's much cheaper...

Unless they've changed something, you have to be a dealer to order from S&S. I am a dealer and can get you one but it will take a few days.

:ditto: That would explain the low bid prices also. If the site has problems and no one can bid, the prices are going to be low. I wasn't watching the auctions today but people are reporting the prices were low. A site attack is the only thing to explain this. Prices on any given group of...

Do you still have those glass troop seats available?

A lot of people in the automobile world have heard all their life "disc brakes are better than drum brakes". While you can argue this on cars and light trucks, in heavy trucks it's not the case. The main thing you look for in a brake to stop a heavy load is surface area. I've got a 3/4 ton...

Booger, Hyd winches are much more controllable and therefor safer. They also eliminate the need for a shear pin. If you've ever ran both you'd understand. Hyd winches are smooth running. Personally I'd have used a solenoid valve and had a remote cable so I could also run it outside the truck...

Yes, the radiator is cut out but I don't think it's cut out enough to fit a hyd motor. I'd be interested in the motor dia. In the pics it looks too big to clear the radiator. That's not saying a hyd winch wouldn't work on a stock A2 though. You'd just need a shaft and mount the motor to the...
