Tim929stro, I was just curious as to where you are at with buying the Pri ocide? The 55gl drum is quite steep at around $3500 but it looks like a few places still list it in a 5gl pail for about $350.

I've heard a lot of members on here talking about using Wesley's Bleach white ( whitewall cleaner ) to degrease with excellent results, but like others here have said, there is no substitute for hot water/steam when it comes to oil and grease.

If you look down the filler with it running, does the fluid slowly start to foam up and eventually overflow, even if you aren't turning the wheel? Also, do you start to feel like your loosing steering pressure before it overflows?

Correct, the adapter is an AN-5 size fitting. I believe you can also use JIC #5 and SAE 5/16" flare tube since AN-5 is an oddball size that is difficult to source.

Plastic poly drums usually have 2 different bung threads. The finer one is a 2" NPT, so any standard PVC or black iron pipe fitting from Home Depot or where ever will fit that one. The other bung is a much coarser thread, I forget what that one is called. Don't forget to outfit the drum with a...

I used to make my own biodiesel and I filtered the cooking oil with EZ bucket strainers made to fit in the top of 5 and 55gl drums. They are available in a variety of mesh sizes from 600 down to 55 micron. Think they are about $6 each. They also had a "Sock" that you could tie around the spout...

Is that the flaring tool Eastwood sells? if so, how do you like it? I've been interested in getting one instead of using my old hand flaring set ( which is pretty much incapable of double flares on 1/4" ) Just need to justify the price for the few occasions that I need to do 1/4" line.

Wow, that seems like a real lot of motor oil, but I guess its working for you with no problem... No issues sooting up the injectors or anything? Think I saw somewhere that you see differences burning conventional VS synthetic oil (when using 100%) , but diluting with diesel you probably don't...

I've burned several hundred gallons of heating oil mixed with 20% used hydraulic oil in generators, my backhoe and my Lull with no problem. Most diesels will run on straight hydraulic oil, biodiesel, heated vegetable oil, tranny fluid, all sorts of stuff besides "fuel". Just make sure its clean...

Wow! you can convert an 002A to 12K for $300? Sign me up for 3 conversion kits! :cookoo: I like the "if you need more voltage" line... Ever hear the line "Yea, 220, 221 what ever it takes"?? In all seriousness, they are great machines and will put out more power and outlast any big box 7500W...

I was watching them all along... not that I could afford to buy one, but my initial thought was $60K on the sheltered one and $50K on the others. Seemed pretty odd that they all hit 59K right around the same time, than 1 hit the reserve at 60K and the rest sat at 59 for a while. then one by 1...

Fantastic, glad you're up and running now.... Might as well fix L3-L0 while you're at it, some day you might need it, plus if you ever decide to sell it you have a machine that works correctly in all configurations. Not anal retentive, It's just taking pride in your work and doing things the...

Bross, any news yet? Just wondering if you've made any additional headway?

A couple things I would consider before making your decision: Privacy, if its a sleeping bunk, make sure you have a comfortable level of privacy. Security, make sure it can't be easily opened by "unauthorized" personnel from the outside. Safety, if its glass, make sure you use tempered glass...

Yup, they can! There is a company here in RI that prints in all sorts of plastics of all durometers. Probably not silicone, but definitely other compounds that would work equally well if not better. They can even vary the component ratios "on the fly" so that you can print a part with defined...

Although a bit more pricey, I wonder if HDPE or other plastic instead of particle board would eliminate the need for the glue and wax? Definitely looks stronger than I had expected, good job!

WOW! a free 5 Ton, even with a bad motor you still scored big! I bet there are more than a few who paid decent money and also got a bad motor! Good luck , and welcome to SS.

Sounds to me like your reconnection switch is either acting up or is miswired. The TM shows all the jumper connections and where they should be. I'd try loosening the 1/4" bolts that secure the sections of the switch together, spray some WD-40 between the sections then work the switch knob back...

Woodsplinter, before you give up and repaint you can try either a light wetsanding in an inconspicuous area with 3000+ grit paper. sand in straight lines, not circles. I've also heard of people using 000 steel wool or an ultra fine scuff pad in a bucket of water with a little dish soap and...

Actually that Ratwax is WAY more affordable that the German?? stuff I was referring to! But, like it says, "its not wax and you can't wax a satin finish" but it does add a UV resistant layer! If you plan to store your deuce outside, go with a good quality satin clearcoat automotive finish and...
