I agree with rmgill, there would be more, and perhaps continuous, loading going thru fewer wheel stations. Ferret bevel box failure-Perhaps some failures are overdue. 20 years of squadie's abuse, followed by 20 years of neglect may set the stage for the nasty. Unless you can say "I went thru...

I wrote: Swapping stolly and Saracen bevel boxes would thus impart an overall gear ratio change --IF-- this is true, and if such interchange was indeed possible. I should add. And that is a problem since the center bevel box can only drive the center wheel station at 1:1(straight thru).The...

HRD, No experience with either Saladin or Saracen but I once read (Stolly) the Saracen (or some of them?) uses a different size bevel box gear than the stolly. That would change shaft speed, but not vehicle speed as the system is 1:1 overall. In other words the shaft speed would be...

Most likely to least-adjust linkage,worn linkage/shifter,bent shift fork,rusty fork shaft,mainshaft pilot bearing gone,gear frag'd.JimK

RE: M38A1 won Shut it off ,put it in any gear, jack up one front wheel. If you can't turn the wheel it's in 4WD (or the brakes drag bad). Tires may get a flat spot if it sits a while. Make sure it is running on all 4 cyl. Make sure the throttle opens all the way(at carb) w/foot on the floor...

NY is lax at prsent. Ask local DMV .If you can tell them it was never registered I think they will tell you - VIN tracing, Weight slip, noterized bill of sale, MV82(green registration form),proof of sales tax(green coupon MV??)...and customs clearence for any foriegn vehicle. You could call it...

Stuff a dry towel in hole and turn upside down.Rock a bit and let sit a while. A wet surface won't be a problem just mop up anything that puddles. Let sit in sun if it makes you feel better. JimK

$225 seems high.Perhaps the shop was busy or not very interested.One near me uses a heated caustic liquid.Results may be disappionting but I have only rad exper here.I have dumped a cans of gumout and laquer thinner,let sit a day, then used a pressure washer with hot water. Works but messy and...

Doghead, Thanks for the kind words.Here is another.JimK

construction equipment Stalwart

Nice,Surely the most handsome of the Alvis siblings. Is the drivetrain selectable in any way(i.e.4x6)?. What was required for the demilling(gun)?? Is the excavating equipment yours too? 'Maintenance intensive' is a relative term...Easier than,say, a Cheiftain...Harder than, say, for the kid...

Here is a good source for low cost top quality new pumps. http://www.precisionfluidpower.com/hyraulic_price_list.htm Best to -not- use a paper fliter on the suction side.Suction Screen only.The control valve will be either for a open center system or closed center sysytem.Best Pump choice...

Hi JT, Yes sir.Neighbors of sorts.Can't say much bad about the guy except his Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder seems to be contagious.( collecting large MV's).I believe we[you and I] met at Gilbert.JimK

rebuilding is a misnomer for all but the really bad ones.I prefer to take them apart ,clean and look for problems.Replace bad parts.Sometimes everything can be reused.Shake the float,if it rattles it leaks and will sink.Check all passage ways with gumout can w/red stick.Make sure the ball is in...

I just googled Khaki Corp and didn't get it.Can you provide a location or contact #. They may have parts but Murphy [law] says not always the one you need. JimK p.s.the transfer case has slightly higher ratio gears to get the same road speed with the smaller 12" tyers [as Stalwart 14x20's]

No experience with them but I think they'll be very hard to find parts for in USA. Difficult to find majors in UK, expensive to get anything shipped over.Hard to work on driveline.Run flats odd size, prob very expensive.Drivetrain windup(pavement) hard on bevel boxes, tracta joints and...

You will have no choice but to go slow My M35A2 tows a 10.5T vehicle and 3 ton trailer.45MPH tops level ground.Hills are very slow.Engine works hard. I made a 300 mile pull with a 8T on trailer(11T load).I had no problems.The hills in N. Pa were 35MPH.Did not need to brake much going...

Ther is a military museum on the point.It is excellent, and made life long memories. http://www.cavalla.org/

I forgot to mention , the 'Trouble Shooting Manual LDS-465-1 Multifuel Engine' has a section for setting the pump with a boost gage.The presures this engine uses are higher(It has a bigger turbo and stronger pistons)but the methods can be used on the LDT.I think it is available in the TM...
