    I sold some equipment on gov planet / iron planet a few month back, and lets just say the transaction was less-than smooth. Do we have a member here that is still working at either of these shops?

    600V 60KW 3Ph 50/60hz Set

    I have a machine with some wacky power requirements, necessitating a dedicated set to put out 600v 3 phase, and roughly 60KW. The folks I got the machine from, ran the unit off of a 90KW set, but noted it was oversized for the application. So I'm looking into options for a new (hopefully used)...

    Mag / acorn style lug nuts for aluminum MRAP wheels

    Afternoon, I've got a set of 395's on aluminum mrap wheels that I'd like to mount on my LRT crane. The lug pattern is the same as the MRAP rims, but I'm looking to source the correct lug nuts. The wheel studs on the crane are 3/4-16, and the mounting holes for the rim are 1''. Anyone seen a mag...

    M916a1 Tie Rod Ends

    Trying to tighten up the steering on my 916A1, but I can't find a part number, or anyone selling just the tie rod ends. The parts manual gives a number for the complete tie rod assembly, but not the ends. In the same TM, it lists a part number for the 915 tie rod ends, but after looking at those...

    Help me add a manual fan override switch to my 5ton

    I'd like to add a manual fan override switch to my 5ton for various reasons. Prefer to not add any electrical systems for simplicity's sake, so I've been thinking about mechanical options. Take a look at my napkin sketch: What I'd like to know, is if there is a valve made that would...

    Oshkosh P-19 crash truck - no start

    Picked up this P-19 a while back. Was barely able to keep it running up the loading ramp and onto the trailer, but over the last couple years, it would always fire up, and run well enough to move it around the yard wherever it needed to be. It never lived to idle, and ran real rough. There was...

    Max pintle load on 923

    Why is it so underrated? I regularly see 5tons flat towing other 939 trucks. Is there any documentation that approves a 5ton to tow more than 15K off the pintle? Have a bigger trailer I'd like to move but am worried about the liability.

    How to get winch cable through an auto tensioner?

    Stole the winch off a 936 for my LWB tractor last weekend. Just wondering if there is an easy way to thread the wire rope through the auto tensioner? Do I have to unspool the whole drum? Would loosening this clevis nut help at all? Thanks!
