    Brake Lining Thickness

    Brake Lining Rivet Tool?? Hey guy's! I install linings all the time on aircraft. In order to get the rivets folded over properly it takes a special tool or modified punch. With that said, I am in need of lining replacement on my M35A2. Would prefer to do it myself. I would like to hear from...

    Tire problem

    WARNING: Haven't those rings flying off been known to decapitate people? I thought you should only mess with these type wheels in a tire cage. Just mentioning in case you are not aware of the dangers. Good Luck and be careful. Rut

    Through Shaft axle seal leak repair

    That's a pretty good guess!! The diameter is 3" on the jar. Not a perfect fit, but it works. It is actually a Tostitos Mild Salsa jar. Personally I think that the Spicy would work better.

    Through Shaft axle seal leak repair

    My front axle through shaft was leaking. The other day I pulled the yoke off and cleaned it up and added some grease. It bought me about 150 miles. I noticed after a trip to secure some BBQ for lunch that it was leaking again. I thought after the in tank fuel pump repair that I was done for the...

    In Tank Fuel Pump FIX

    Hey Guy's, Been reading alot about the in tank fuel pump problems people have been posting. Well, mine went out too, and just got arround to mess with it. I even thought about ordering in line kits or replacements. Went out to the truck and pulled the head off of the top of the pump. This...

    oil leak

    Ha! Mine did the same thing! I cycled the switch several times and it cleaned itself out. Not doing it anymore. I wasnt sure if steep inclines and rough riding somehow contributed. Air tanks clean and no gear oil smell. Not sure of the cause, and I know that most things dont fix...

    You should paint little logos on the side of the truck for each one like WWII pilots for kills. Good Job!

    Head Gasket Replacement

    Finished the project this morning and just got back from the test drive. All went well. Now waiting for the next thing to break. After she cools, I will check the coolant. Just put in water for the test. Hopefully no oil. If so, will open up the oil cooler. Had to adjust the valves by myself...

    Head Gasket Replacement

    Thanks Clinto.. Good Thread. I had already read it a few weeks ago, but reading it now has much more meaning. Funny, I have a set of Lycoming cylinder base wrenches in the box.. Cant remember if the larger wrench is 7/8" or not. If not, I have a welder and some sacrifice wrenches. Thank you...

    Head Gasket Replacement

    Its always handy to have some El Cheapo wrenches on hand to grind on and bend when you need to. I will have to buy a boxed foot to torque these bolts. Anyone with a suggestion would be great. Later, Rut BTW: Consumables required to get this far: One large Pizza and 6 pack of Bud Light...

    Head Gasket Replacement

    Well, I found some oil in the coolant and have been running the Duce as a daily driver waiting for the next thing to break. I guess this is it, or the biggest on the list for that matter. I ordered gaskets from Memphis Equipment. Today I got her tore down. See the pictures.... The fourth...

    So you want to go faster?

    Hey Guy's: I have a Bobbed Duce w/ Turbo running good with Michelin 14x20's at 49" Tall. I can only run 62 mph at 2200rpm or so flat ground. It will not pull any more. Granted I have 40psi in the tires, but my point is wether or not a small tire Duce could run the ratio and not lug everywhere...
