    aircraft stripper

    I've been getting the Klean Strip brand from the local Sherwin Williams store. It's the only stripper I've found that will remove CARC without problems. Eye protection is a good idea, but also protect your lungs. I use a full face respriator with the yellow chemical cartriges, the ones with...

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    I saw that on TV after it happened. The unloading hose ruptured releasing a cloud of propane that eventually reached the engine, causing it to runaway and explode. It probably would have caused an explosion anyway because it happened at a foundry while it was in operation.

    Vinyl Paint-what works

    Unfortunarely I've never found any type of vinyl dye,paint or any finish that's durable or has any long term effectiveness.

    Runaway Multifuel cutoff?

    I've seen signs posted on the steering wheel at GSA auctions warning not to start the engine because it would run away. Blown turbo seals is one way this could happen. I've never seen one in person, but Grove cranes have an air shutoff on the inlet to provide emergency shutdown. I saw one...

    Found 1953 m35 cheap should I buy?

    Wrong kind of hooker. Back before I got my 5 tons I was looking for a gas duece and couldn't find one. That's actually why I got the 5 tons. Buy her!

    Purple/yellow Dot 5 mixing?

    I don't know if it's the same for brake fluid, but the purple dye we put in synthetic fire resistant aircraft hydraulic fluid was designed to fade to indicate the exposure of the fluid in service. If it got to hot, oxidized, or absorbed moisture it would fade out to indicate the need to...

    Want to own a 10-Ton

    Are 10 tonners oversize for the highway? I wonder how you would ship something like that? Would be cool to have.

    Split brake system

    I believe there was a thread on this some time back, I don't remember the details though.

    Split brake system

    It occurs to me that you would need to find the total operating volume of the front wheel cylinders and the same for the four rear cylinders and find a master cylinder with the proper volumes. It seems to me that most dual cylinders would have about the same volumes front and rear as they would...

    Air intake mushroom

    I may have misunderstood tbrenner's question about the mushroom. I was referring to those of us putting just the intake mushroom, not the whole filter from a deuce and a half. I was just wondering if the mushroom and necessary reducer produced additional restriction. I wouldn't have needed...

    Air intake mushroom

    I've kinda wondered about that same thing. I was thinking about putting a muchroom on the intake of my 5 ton to keep the squirrels from filling it with acorns every fall. After trying to find a reducer for the 4" to 5" on the air cleaner of the 5 ton, I got to thinking about air restriction...

    driving with one wheel/tire/axle off the ground

    Sounds to me like another one who has already made the decision to do something and is just looking for validation from the list. It's your truck do whatever you like.2cents Do you really want to go to a remote area with the minimum?

    Oil Additives For Turbos?

    So exactly what does "Bob The Oil Guy" prove? If you over rev any oil you can whip it into a froth. Why didn't he just put it in a blender? Would have done the same thing without all the work. What are his credentials? Opinions are like a??holes, everyone has one and they all stink...

    Oil Additives For Turbos?

    That's easy, there's a buck to make. Anybody that has seen their infomercial and doesn't see the snake oil advertizement in it bought a line. Has anyone ever seen a situation like shown in the ad?

    Wolverine movie DOES NOT USE REAL HUMMERS!

    Or ever existed like the WW! tank with the WW2 turret, where did that come from? I still like war movies I just have to curb my critizism of their authenticism, especially when they llist a consultant and don't listen to him.

    M54A2 air cleaner element

    I've been using AC A144C filters I bought for $10 apiece on Epay. They're the right diameter but only 10" long instead of 12". I turned a spacer to match the filter and the clamp to take up the extra 2" gap. Ya, I know they don't have the same 700 CFM rating but the truck runs OK and nobody...

    Wolverine movie DOES NOT USE REAL HUMMERS!

    I love NCIS, however in one episode there was a 5 ton cargo that had the M35 mushroom on a reducer mounted on the air cleaner. My wife hates it too when I pick movies apart, but it's so much fun!
