Don't throw it away! I'll pay shipping to my house. [thumbzup]

John, you should be fine using the cable I sent you as is (without any other protection).

The only way to check the backlash per the TM is to pull the transmission because there's no way to get a dial indicator between the PTO and the frame. I just do it by feel. Too loose is better than too tight.

Just saw on tv that they were using a UH-1 to help transport people to the hospital after the pane crash at the air show. It was at the air show and was called into service to transport the wounded.

Yes.

I use NAPA wheel bearing and chassis grease. As far as grease guns go, I picked up one of those battery operated guns from TSC awhile back. Some of the best money I've ever spent. Once you used a battery operated gun you'll never go back. Almost makes greasing a joy to do. I've also found that...

Welcome, I'm just down the road from you in Dickson. Don't know much about CUCVs though. You may want to pull the starter and take it to a shop to have it tested.

It helps a whole lot to heat the rod and cool the bushing. Don't heat it hot enough to melt the rubber though. Just heat the rod warm to the touch and cool the bushing in dry ice, liquid nitrogen, or something. Leaving them in the freezer overnight helps if that's all you've got. It doesn't take...

I'd say this is a liability issue more than anything. I would think if a wheel would hold up in a harsh off-road enviroment it would be fine on the pavement.

Oh, that truck is very rare. I'm pretty sure it's the only one like it in the world (I hope so anyway). :lol:

I've been looking for some taller tires to put on my m715. At $350 used and $600 new I'll have to pass though. :shock: There was a thread over on the zone where a guy had some 20" deuce wheels mounted on his m715. Don't recall how he made the bolt pattern work but the truck looked pretty good...

I've got a c-60 bell, a 292, and a 3053. I haven't looked at it all though to see what all else I'll need to mate it all up. The trans came out of a parts truck, got the bell for free, and paid $100 for the engine. It's just all been sitting there for over a year because I've been working on...

Like has been said above, go ahead and destroy the nut if you need to. Most replacement line comes with new nuts. I've had good results with a small pipe wrench before.

Higher RPMs cause more wear than lower RPMs. Just think about it, every time the engine makes a revolution there is some wear. The more times the crankshaft turns, the more wear. You can go too far though and put too much strain on the engine. Like has been said above, you've got to find the...

Many moons ago, You used to could go back and look at past bid results it showed the name of the bidder. It's been "anonymous" for several years though.

I wonder how many different wheel manufacturers they've had over the years? That probably explains the differences.

While this is true they don't enforce it very much. Almost all independent truckers are either running liners or at least have their radio tuned to more than 4 watts. About the only time the FCC will get involved is if you are causing a nuisance. The main problems you'll have is running high...

Gringeltaube is right, The pics the OP posted are for the sliding collar inside the PTO. I'm thinking you could machine one of them to work on the input shaft though. You'll also have to drill and tap a hole in the side of the collar for a setscrew to hold it in place. Making one may be your...

Back when I was into CBs I ran a Cobra 148F with a 400 watt "kicker". If you don't want sideband a Cobra 29 is hard to beat though.

Not that I'm aware. There is a pic of a truck in the M35a2 operators manual that shows a truck with a level wind. It you look closely you can see it's a pic of a 5-ton though (misprint).
