I bought
9213K22 Neoprene Vibration Damping Sandwich Mount, Male/Male, 5/16"-18 Thread, 3/4" H, 1"W
as a replacement, figuring I'm going to tear up a bunch of them disassembling the parts for paint. Same dimensions but neoprene instead of natural rubber. I figured the higher temperature...
The brackets may be different because of the ages of the trucks ? While mine is registered as a 71' matching the dash and paperwork that came with it from GL, at least the frame, cab and one axle (Timkin, not Rockwell !) are early gasser parts from ~1951 based on the frame serial number I later...
Measued at the bottom of the slot (to ignore the top, which is slightly twisted and different on both of my brackets, so I suspect they have been tweeked over the years) I would say the slot is 1/2" to 17/32" wide. I agree the slot centerline is 3/8" in front of the rear hole centerline. (I...
Another marginal power point drawing...:oops:
I'm glad you decided not to move the bumper yet, the more I looked at it while doing yard work all weekend, the more I thought it wouldn't be worth it without a completely new integrated bumper / winch mount / guide assembly. I even then, why...
After writing a bunch, I decided to try a sketch. I'm an engineer, and the program I chose was PowerPoint, that is just really, really sad....:oops: But Autocad sucks for not to scale stuff, and I need to get back up to speed with SolidWorks, and just need to start playing with Goggle's...
The horizontal distance from the rear of the bottom bumper flange to the bottom front of the drive gear housing is 2 1/4", or to a bolt head 2". But, the gear housing is vertically above the bottom flange and at an angle (bottom sticks out furthest), so I don't think that would be the first...
winch with bumper pictures
OK, some winch pictures with the bumper. Not a lot of space between the bumper and winch, but you could probably gain 3-4 inches if you did a better job of integrating the winch, guides, and bumper.
some picture of front winch
Since I have the front sheet metal off, here are some pictures that may help. Looking at the approach angle relative to the front axle, I'm not sure how much you can lower the winch without cutting into your ground clearance. Note that all these pictures are on...
Not that it is a "legal" copy, but I googled
"MWO 9-2320-272-24-1: Service brake control valve improvement"
and found several sites that had the .pdf on the first page of results.
Googling
"MWO 9-2320-272-35-1: ABS upgrade"
found a .pdf that tells how to find improperly installed MWOs (on a...
You need to find the older manuals that still have the dump truck in them. I extracted the dump pages from the 1980 and 1965 versions of the older TM 9-2320-209-10, but you really need to find the whole manuals, + the -20, -30, -34, -34P, etc. Looks like the 1988 version of the 9-2320-361-10...
No vote, because my ability to plan for more than a week in advance sucks lately, but post up somewhere for lunch etc., the day before and I'll come if I can !
Impact drivers are your friend as well ! Electric (one of the newer battery powered impact drill/drivers), air, or even the old fashioned whack it with a big hammer type.
Just finished putting my doors back on after painting, I managed to get all the screws out with PB blaster starting 1 week...
Cleaned out all my axle vents and 2 of the 3 had solid gaskets (home [solider B?] made looking) under the plate. The third one was plugged with the greasy goo...
That is interesting, they must not be as busy as in the past. They are right outside the Red River base, and have a huge yard (you can see it on goggle maps). Tried to talk with them about some parts a couple of years ago, and they had no interest in dealing with an individual, even if I...
I looked into this, but haven't actually done it. Found several other threads where it was considered, but haven't found anyone who has actually done it. I did use a similar setup with a manual valve to be technically legal on a couple of recoveries with my Expedition, but never used it in...
