Hi Gimpyrobb, I had the blue rotating engine stands gearbox apart when I first got it. It had lock collars with set screws for end play, and I think the ring gear in the gearbox is welded to the tube. I got a new digital camera for x-mas, I'll need to get it going and I'll take sum better...

5000 Lb engine stands from GL Hi, I picked these up last year from GL in Texas. The Bowie, Hooks/Texarkana base is a pretty good drive from ATL, but I couldn't find a good engine stand to use for a couple of 5.9 Cummins swaps. GL has sold diesel engine stands there several times, you just...

Hi, I would normally have a 5hp service compressor with me, the bed full of firewood didn't make it possible this time. I have considered making a hose so I could use one of the mig welder tanks to fill tires & run air tools while out and about. I had fix a flat, I only use that as a last resort...

My son & I went and got my M105A2 @ the GA National Guard base in Calhoun GA last monday. I tried to kill 2 birds with one stone and that didn't work so well. I was dropping off 1/2 cord of red oak in Mableton, then hitting 75N to calhoun to get the trailer. I traded the firewood for a 165K...

Hi Carl, I hose clamped a temporary piece of clear hose in my supply side to check for air leaks in. I found my MFC adapter sucked quite a bit of air! So I cleaned my tank got it back on. My fuel gauge has a twisted square rod that runs up to the needle, float has a square in it that turns the...

Hi Carl, Good to hear the MEP003A is running. I was running my MEP002A off a Jerry can adapter because the fuel tank had some real nasty stuff in it. I looked in, took a sniff & told my son to remove the tank and set it outside. My gauge would have been stuck on "E" I just had to clean the...
