Those air vents should be opening up at least a little bit even at those temps. Fully closed it will overheat even on cold days. Have you taken the shrouds off and lubricated all of the moving joints? Made sure they were free?
Normally a wide tire on a skinny rim will be an issue due to the bead seating surface being pulled out and not sitting flat on the rim. But the fact that these tires will have tubes makes that a moot point. Very high pressure is still an issue but there is no need to run 60 lbs. of air on this...
A 315/75 calls for a 8-11 inch rim, a two inch difference is substantial. I am not saying it is out of the question, just want to know if others are using this size. Pricing is attractive for this size and selection is good. That will offset the 45.00 each price of the tubes!
Oh I know how to do them, I am getting too old to do it though!!! Swinging the duckbill accurately just ain't in me no more. Actually I am not even sure where my duckbill is? I owned a shop back when split rims and and ring locks, While not real common, were still in use.
Well, I have picked up the 37 and loaded 5 extra, old tires and rims into the back of my truck. Those combat rims are HEAVY!!!!!!!!! I would guess one rim and tire is approaching 200 lbs.. What did I get myself into?! Does anyone have a visual breakdown of one of those rims? They are different...
The rims that I have are stock M37 16 inch. I am aware that the hummer tires are 16.5 tapered bead. They are not staying on there and I am not replacing them. I have looked for reworked 16.5 rims for the M37 but have not found any so I am staying with stock 16" tires.
I am looking for modern tire sizing to replace the 900x16. I am picking up a M37 tomorrow and all it needs to drive is new tires. Comes complete with four standard rims and four combat rims with hummer tires on them. Yes, I know, wrong size. That is why I am looking for new tires. And yes, I am...
Same as the smaller engines. Get one of those light actuated tachometers that use a stick on reflective piece that you put on any rotating part (That is on the crankshaft like the crank pully or balancer) and then hold the light from the unit on it and it will give rpm. You will need access to...
28 volts is a normal charge rate for 24 volt systems. 30 volts is certainly not going to "take out" anything. It is only 2 volts over spec. What you need to do is get into the trouble tree and start from the beginning and follow the diagnosis steps to the letter. If you start skipping over...
Probably the only one out of the first group I would consider would be the last one and that is not really a parts unit if it runs and makes power. I am obviously further south than you think. I am 5.5 hours from your 4 hour picks. And that is the problem, with diesel at 4.50 a gallon and the...
A little light on the Phosphorus and zinc but exceptionally good on the metals. The new oil should raise the zinc and phosphorus. You could always add just a little bit of ZDDP. very little! Too much is worse than not enough.
I was also there in 76!! I was visiting a friend in the Air Force in Wiesbaden. Well, I was going to show those Germans how a good ole big US farm boy drinks beer. Yep I showed them all right. I will say this, German people are very polite and accommodating, at least in 76 they were. A few of...
I have been looking for that elusive "parts" unit for years and still have not found one near me. I thing Ray and Chainbreaker got them all!:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
These are not multifuels, you might want to go back to clean diesel and some Power Service fuel additive or similar diesel additive. These will not run on high concentrations of oil like a multifuel. ATF is actually designed NOT to burn so you will end up with all kinds of deposits on the injectors.
