With the addition to the "Thanks" and "Thanked" counter to the member profile on left column, it has garbled up the Feedback score.
Here's a screenshot of my profile to the left. Notice it says "Thanked 1,220 Times in 571 Posts30". I'm pretty sure that the "30" should be on the next line after...
Nice acquire there Robself!
See the Facebook page link in my signature for Utah locals. I know of at least two forum members, "red" and "wadefreedomvehicles" down in the Lehi/Orem area that have M39 series parts for sale!
And from here you can calculate the scale. The original wingspan was 37 feet (444 inches):

The model is 29 inches.
So about a 1:15 scale.
While that *IS* cool, it's pretty plain jane for my tastes and given the price. No paint or...
You flush the lines by excessively bleeding at each wheel cylinder. You can do this with someone else manually pumping the brakes, or make a "power bleeder" from a weed sprayer.

Thanks for following up. That is just really neat work. I'm always impressed that the mounts and lift points hold on the equipment. It's like watching those "found" tank extractions from a deep bog or mud. I sit there and am amazed that the recovery/winch/lift point held.
My suggestion is to put something between that wiring harness and the sharp edge where it passes through the firewall! One day that'll wear through and do a lot of damage to the harness, batteries, and potentially more.
Other places the wiring harness likes to wear (and at least one member has...
I just do one axle end at a time and use a commonly found 6 ton jack stand to hold the axle end. It's the same jack stand I use on my civilian pickups. I leave the bottle jack there too, with slight pressure as my back up, but the axle is primarily held by the jack stand.
I forget the brand...
That spring should attach to a thin, flat piece of metal retained one of the bolts on top of the king-pin plate. It's just to allow the brake line to move when steering, but to keep it away from quickly rubbing through on the tire, getting smashed by the steering stop bolt, or other hazards.
I put Goodyear G177's on my M105A2. I was able to reuse my wheels and it matches my M35A2, and thus, again, can share the same spare tire. The sidewall on the tires is so strong that when the trailer is empty, the tire will not have full tread contact with the ground. I stopped airing down at 20...
Honestly, even though I know they'd had a number of interested potential buyers, no one was going to travel to their remote location with another trailer to winch this one on and haul home, and who would be willing and have the right set of tires and wheels to bolt to it and tow it home? Only...
Well, I've done it again. :shrugs: :grin:
I had been watching a local ad for a larger, newer style Pioneer Tool trailer. I think it had been for sale for the past 6 months. Probably their first snow fall judging by the pictures. It was in a pretty isolated section of northern Utah, past Park...
Hey, we can understand your English just fine! I hope you can understand ours...
Are you putting the cork into place in the keyway slot? Is the cork piece big enough to fill the space? The cork piece should require some compression for you to squish it into the keyway and UNDER the outer...
You know, that's a great question, but I don't know what refletex is. Perhaps some local companies that make like boat or camper covers would have suggestions?
I've honestly thought about taking two one-piece covers to a local place and asking them to quilt some form of insulation to the...
I've finished with the air hose connect. I will freely admit I messed up and mounted the lower Bussman ShortStop breaker too close to the bottom edge, partially in the way of this hose. Oh well, I'm not drilling new holes. So I added a bit of old heater hose around to protect from rubbing...
