What is the maximum lift height of the "stock" gin pole setup? I'm thinking of building a steel building and was trying to figure out how to raise the trusses. The one I'm looking at has a height at the peak of about 18 1/2 feet.

Question: what exactly is the difference between and air hammer and a rivet gun? We used to hammer rivets with a sledge hammer way back out of lack of experience and youthful exuberance. ie: young and dumb and full of .... (what ever).:oops: I think before I went to all that work, I'd just...

Dean is on highway 63 just south of Rolla, I've never been able to get a response any time of the day. I've also heard there's someone down by Willow Springs that sell military surplus, but haven't been able to pin him down. Not necessarily a salvage yard just an individual with a lot of...

I have seen people ejected from live auctions twice just for discussing this very thing. I also saw two guys discussing purchase of items won and already paid for at a live auction and an official warned them to leave the property if they wanted to conduct business. The interesting thing was...

Twenty odd years ago when I was first looking at MVs I got a listing for some dump trucks down at Ft Lost in the Woods. They were listed as residue, but I went to check them out anyway. If the sticker on the bumper hadn't said they were dump trucks you wouldn't have any idea, just bare...

I don't have any deuces, but I live in St. Louis. I playwith my toys down in Reynolds county.

What about touch up painting over CARC with nonCARC like you get from Rapco? Do you need to prime/sand the CARC to get it to stick or can you just clean and spray?

I don't have any scientific evidence to show it helps, but I've been using it for years because one of the engineers I worked with said it would help especially for turbo charged engines. It has a long kling time similar to the turbine oils we used in our steam turbines. My older and well...

I wish they were closer to me, I see all kinds of good stuff.

I got a Renwal model of the 5 ton truck with a Lacrosse missle and launcher for Christmas when I was a kid and later bought the Renwal kit of the Wrecker Crane. That was the start of OD disease for me. Wonder what firing that missle did for the seat upholstery or top canvas on those trucks...

How about adding one of the Wix fuel filter filter like the #53405( I think that is a good #) that has the bottom drain. Put it inline anywhere easily accessed and drain it regularly till the tank is dry.

The 5 ton Multi is the LDS 465 1A. If the price is right I'd get a whole engine and save the disassembled one for spares.

Looks like a 5 ton chassis, a fire dept turnin from a long time ago judging on the red color. Too far away for me to go look.

I haven't had any problems on my M51A2 getting parts. I usually shop around for the best price first, but you can get pretty much anything from Memphis Equipment the next day. Common parts from them are usually competitive with others in my experience. I recently broke the PTO gear on mine...

On the subject of 5 ton air cleaners, where can you get a new filter? I've tried cross referencing then but no luck.

I have mostly older Craftsman tools I bought 25 years ago, but the new stuff is crap. Look at them, Made in China. I don't even bother to take broken tools back anymore because they replace them with junk from China.

I've been looking for an M37 top, any pictures?

I'd take that bet, almost a sure thing whenever I have those problems.

I think I would find a long wheel based 5 ton if I were doing it.

I just bought 4 of the 8 bolt runflats in Cape Girardeau, MO that were listed on Craig's List. Not much closer, but.... He said he had about 20 more if anyone in the midwest is interested.
