    CARC paint;how to remove-yet another question...

    Clinto, The folks from Southern Polyurethanes are very vague on the solids constituents in the primer. There are no corrosion inhibitors or filler products listed, only the solvent blend that they use. With all of the solvents listed, this stuff is over 1450 grams per liter in VOC's. That's...

    Painting a huey a/c questions

    Kevin, One of my friends also happens to be my PPG paint rep handling military paints and sealants. I attempted getting pricing for the NCP coatings CARC that PPG sells, but the minimums required make it so that I could not even come close to the prices others here have quoted for Sherwin...

    o-ring for combat wheel

    I cut the O-ring material on an angle, then glue. Because they are sandwiched between to plates the O-rings don't move, and they don't leak. Rolling your own is a lot cheaper than purchasing pre-made O-rings.

    M105 With 16" Wheels? How?

    The tires, wheels and axle have been replaced with a commercial axle and civie tires and wheels from what appears to be a Chevy 4X4 1/2 ton pickup. The mentioned M796 and the M1061 trailer wheels use the same bolt pattern as the Deuce/M105, however the wheels are 16.5X10" and the tires are...

    Registering Trailer

    That would be Martin OweMalley's Peoples Republic of Maryland. My 32' travel trailer which weighs 14,000 pounds is a cool $248.00 per year. Good thing is that this is the last year that they will be getting their blood money.

    o-ring for combat wheel

    I know that some folks on SS will purchase the factory O-Ring for the wheels, I on the other hand choose to make my own. www.mcmaster.com ,sells O-ring cord stock which will allow you to make custom length o-rings whenever you need one. The material that I use is the silicone product, which...

    MEP-002A and MEP-003A glow plug and heater part numbers

    The nice thing about the glow plugs referenced is that they come as a kit with the terminal connector. Don't skimp when installing a new glow plug, use the connector supplied. A little heat cink paste on the connector also keeps corrosion out of the connection and is heat resistant.

    Non slip paint surface

    The old walkway coating, Mil-W-5044 was replaced with A-A-59166. For my Boeing applications we use the non-metallic version that uses walnut shell as the aggregate. You can mix the walnut shell, (just like the tumbling media used for shell case cleaning) with the topcoat of your choice, and...

    What's a Miller Matic 35 worth?

    Good welder, used to own one. Welded a lot of chrome moly tubing with that welder. Provided that you can get it for a good price $300-350ish, it's worth that. Of problem is going to be the air bottle. Most large bottles over 80 cu ft aren't sold just rented, so your chances of getting it...

    Ebay Mep Warning

    The whole eBay listing reeks of fraud. Kohler Deere engine, yeah right! I can tell you from experience that a 120 volt corded drill motor runs sweet on 400Hz electric. The only reason that I would bid on a 400Hz set is if I needed a low hour engine, the skid or possibly the sheet metal...

    1952 M101 clearance lights

    There are tons of low profile clearance light rails available. If you are looking at the armored clearance type lights pictured above, just bend up some bracket and mount them below the tailgate on the rail that holds the pogo stick. My 1997 M105A3 trailers all have clearance lights between...

    1952 M101 clearance lights

    Unless your home state requires them, only the left hand tail light would have been utilized on early 50 trucks and small utility trailers. I owned a 50 Chevy 3100 and a 53 Ford pick-up. Both trucks only had left rear stop/running lights. Also there were no reflectors. It dosen't appear that...

    Uh, oh! Anti-freeze In the Oil

    DABTL, How involved in the repair do you want to get? You could remove each injector and look for evidence of antifreeze. While the injector is removed, pressurize the cooling system and listen for a hissing sound in the cylinder with the injector removed. If the hiss is detected, the...

    i came home today, only to see ....

    Well aware of the turner issue with all electronic diesel engines. The 6.0 was such a great engine that it was replaced in 2006 -07with the 6.4. Not a very long production run for a diesel engine. The 6.4 has an additional head bolt on each cylinder. Torque to yield is/was a stupid idea...

    i came home today, only to see ....

    Don't play the blame game on International for the 6.0-liter debacle. Ford went to Navistar with some unique requirements. Must be lighter in weight than the 7.3/444. Must make more Hp than the 7.3/444. Must be cleaner emissions than the 7.3/444. Navistar dropped 300 lbs off the...
