. So very cool! I would love to have a halftrack. Cranks, Runs, Stops, Lights. Except for paint, what more could a body ask for!? That might even be really near the very top of my list. Would love to have a M4 High Speed Tractor too... My hospital trip caused "deviation from the filed...

. Pretty amazing how about 3x the amount of hydraulic fluid in a thin sheetmetal tank keeps the fluid temp down. My M-936 has no fans, engine runs at 1500rpm and a hundred gallons of hydraulic oil. It will run all day and not be much warmer than the air surrounding it.

. I like it! Most of those are tried and really true. A friend of mine recently retired - and he swears he is working harder than when he punched a time clock...

. Another idea (won't be cheap) is a local CAT Dealer. Their repair shop could repair whatever the 3116 or 3216 might have wrong with it - and there will most likely be somebody that works in a shop like that who works on charging systems. Sounds like your goal is to use the truck for its...

. No sir. Pump is under the truck amidship more or less. The RR passenger side is the valve body that operates the rear winch. The whine could be where one of the valves is partially engaged with the switch on the side of the truck by those two handles. There will be sound there - but it...

. Not quite like some other magazines, books and calendars - I just read this one for the pictures! :cool:

. Nice! Glad to hear that you have the pump moving fluid and that it is all nice and clean. IMPORTANT THING to know is that the engine RPM according to the book needs to be set to 1800rpm to avoid burning up that Allison Transmission. As far as a gauge is concerned, remember that you are...

. Hi Owen and Merry Christmas to you and family as well! Yes Sir! The calendar blocks are ready. The trucks for the first eleven months are ready. I am waiting for December voting to conclude. I need to think about a way - without slighting anybody - to make it work a month earlier... Have...

. Trucks and Track Hoes and other things with a Hydraulic Radiator and fan may not cause the fan to turn on. Especially in the colder weather. You won't be able to miss it the first time the fans turn on! It will sound like the vehicle is going to explode... (or it sounded that way to me the...

. Hi Owen! Well, my words of wisdom when it comes to driving green stuff is "I may be slow, but I am ahead of you.". I do my very best to pull over or move over to let others pass so I don't look like I am leading a parade. On the other hand, I think if you want to bypass the FDC it might...

. Try again... Maybe somebody else will answer the phone next time.

. Ya know, we all have that much fun sometimes. Working outside in the wind and rain (I try to avoid it when I can!) will slow a guy down... Always best to have a garage with a concrete floor and a lift and a - and a - and a. Maybe one day. Maybe not. All in all, if the project can wait...

. I like the lights! That would definitely be a nice upgrade and I guess from my navy years - a red light would be just fine by me! The bed looks pretty amazing after 3 years of wear and use.

. I too have a fluke meter and no idea how to measure amp hours. Also have a Fluke LAN Meter that cost about 25k when I bought it. It reads like a TDR when you want to measure fiber or copper on Ethernet or Token Rink or Coax or Twinax. Half of those things most people don't know a thing...

. So... Finding a wiring harness quick might be pretty costly. Goofy question maybe - but how many wires are there in the wiring? Would it be practical to get your test light (maybe a meter to hunt continuity if you have one handy) and hunt down the ground first. Tie it together. Then...

. Those star washers - especially with small nuts and bolts - seem to do especially well on vehicles that vibrate like a GenSet. We used them on radios in the old Bouligny radio installations... Made all the difference in the world for us.

. There is no question that those blast shields would be tough to navigate with in a Highway Driving situation - but they sure would be cool to have...

. That is really sweet! Extra nice looking for sure...

. I have purchased several "Civy" bulbs from the SuperBrightLEDs.com and they have done a good job of responding to an order. Quick shipping and the bulbs arrive packed well to survive shipping.

. It is amazing how our countries shared technology. That Fury 1 looks amazingly like the F86 SabreJet. These are amazing pictures m1010plowboy and I really enjoyed them! The info about taking a good picture is nice to read when it is too cold to be outside :cool: THANK YOU again for the...
