Hello,
I am looking for some info. Has anyone replaced the armstrong steering in the 2 1/2 ton with the powersteering from a 5 ton? If so what are the differences, fabrication is not an issue, I am mostly looking for real estate issues. I know the air assist Air-O-Matic is available, but I like...
This is what I am talking about, where is the prelube system going to be hooked up? Failute of the hose, check valve, or any of the fittings will indeed cause complete and probably total destruction of the engine via loss of oil pressure/flow. This would indeed be the same as a complete and...
Bjorn,
I whole heartedly agree, the tinkering is just one of the many reasons that WE play around with these critters. When one starts getting into the lifeblood of the very machines we are trying to improve, care must be taken if one does not want to turn a running engine in to a yard ornament...
Hey,
I am amazed, $230.00, for a system that for all intents and purposes is ready to install. Yet here are bunches of replies suggesting $30.00 sprayer pumps and $350.00 pumps for hydraulic cylinders. As a mechanic who has made a living working on aircraft and fabricating hot rod cars for a...

Hello,
I found this while surfing e-Bay. For those looking to prelube their truck, here you go. I am not affiliated in any way with this seller, just wanna pass a heads up to you all...
Hello,
The difference between the electric and PTO, is quite simple. The electric commercial winch is rated by pulling a rated, rolling load(12K, ect.) up a 45 deg. ramp, whereas the PTO is rated to pull the rated line pull(10k ect). directly. Thats the reason the 12k electric has a 3/8" line...
Hello,
I bought a duckbill tire hammer, for about $35.00. I have changed about 15-18 tires by myself. Dirty grunt work, I love it. Way cheaper than paying a tire shop $20.00+ per tire to change. I use WD-40 to lube the bead/split ring area, more is better! Hammer time!

RE: trailer
Hey
Thanks, the trailer is a synthisis of several parts. The first part is the M-200 2.5 ton generator trailer. The second part is the 12' 2.5 ton bed, and the final part is an adapter made from 8" channel steel and some 8" flat stock welded into a box spaced exactly the same...

Its the mighty '85 CR500, known for its evil disposition, similar to a rhino, it is best to not crowd it too close! The trailer is used for expedition type riding trips usually lasting 6-7 days at a time. A CR500 can burn 5 gals a day when hillclimbing, add firewood and things to shoot at/burn...
