I have a hydraulic pump that is listed in the classified but I may be missing a label that gives me all the information I need to know about the exact functions of the valve.
If anyone recognizes the pump and has more information, please help me out. It appears to be a double action, power...
Jimm, I'm going to LED on mine, not the original fixtures. I'm running individual lines back to a control box that will have flasher controls, strobes and dimmers. You might want to consider something similar. I'm using 3 wire SO cord and soldering the connections...no joints to fail...
Use the search for Behr paint...and discover a whole lot of info.
One problem I have encountered is using red rust inhibitive primer like Rustoleum (oil base) and then use Acrylic Latex over it. Rust forms through it. Both, when fully dry have a level of being hydroscopic and rust forms...
We used to wrap that with a flat thread like material or leather straps to tighten it up. Is it leather or vinyl? As much as I like leather, it molds with sweat.
I don't know why there is no "thanks" available, but if there ever is a post that deserves it, it's yours, SCM35A2. I'm so blessed that my dad has income and is mobile (94). I hope you do well on the sale.
Emeralcove, yours looks worth repairing.
I'll need about 8 sticks. My truck is a 97....with a 1957 (looks like) steering wheel that set in the sun. I have many areas of just the outer wire its molded to. I have a bunch of hardwood veneer that might make an interesting layup.
I'll find...
I have a couple AB freq controls (speed), 25 hp, that I have thought about using before for controlling the AC. It rectifies to a DC buss and then chops it up into the desired freq.. It's 480V however....and I have not tried such a thing...just thought about it.
Been saving them for a...
Pay attention to the tranny slipping in forward 4th and reverse. They used poor quality seals on that clutch pack and together with locking torque converter are having issues as they age.
Every one of the A3's are rebuilt and used parts from the surplus A2's that may be many years older...
I've read that properly functioning drum brakes on them are as good as the disks. Your A3 has a split system MC, 50/50, that a lot of duece owners would be glad to have. They did go to the 1 1/2" piston on the front of the A3 from the 1 3/8" of the A2. Since calipers require different...
LOL Emeralcove....my 97 A3 steering wheel looks like it's from a 47. I guess epoxy and paint and a lot of patience... they can be made whole.
Edit...Hi Tom....how many times do you find yourself with a torch in one hand and a stinger in the other? I used to have a 20,000 shop and when it...
I'll resurrect this thread to point out a couple of things that my 4x4 project has revealed to me. I used M105 springs and frame mounts, cleaning every leaf, buffing sharp ends off the end of each leaf and adding an overload air bag.
The springs of an M105 and the front springs of a deuce...
It always feels good to get a job done. My completions are always overshadowed by the 3 projects that replace it.
Is that your welder truck? It's nicely organized. I'm using an M1101 as my welder/torch vehicle. It gets a roof.
I'm working on the 4x4 A3 and trying to decide what tools...
