It needs to be "Red" high temp RTV. Not just the blue stuff.

Well it's obviously not an airplane. There are no wings! I was mearly stating that the front control panel is off from a power supply that is used for cold weather suits LIKE the ones used in old airplanes.

Possibly part of a welder. But the machine clearly has a connection port for a cold weather flight suit. Says right on the front.

Yea that's probably what I meant. I am not an aircraft guy. I teach power generation at a vocational school.

It actually is a cobbled together pile of parts. It is in fact a generator. Part of it is the power supply from a 24 VDC suit heater used in the B52 bombers I think, back in the 40's. The gunners and cargo crew in the back of the plane wore them to keep from freezing. The machine looks to...

NO WAY that thing could float! Does it?

Good idea. I will certainly check that first.

Hey guys! I downloaded the manual and will begin troubleshooting this weekend. I wanted to ask first if there may be a common issue here I can check first and maybe save myself some time. The other day I was cranking the engine for a while, (10-15 seconds) trying to start it, but it was...

Agreed! My 5 Ton sat for years and all of the axle seals leaked. The worst thing you can do to any type of car or truck is to let it sit.

Nicely said! I am in total agreeance. Nowhere did it say "The King can spend every day doing what he wants and leave the Queen to tend to the kids and house". :beer:

Is that truley the issue? Your wife has to benefit? Or maybe that you're never home and it COSTS you money on your day off to go to DRMO?? I would do anything to help anyone in need. But if it was a weekly scheduled thing and it cost me gas money and other expenses then I would have to rethink.

WHAT IS SHE THINKING??? Expecting you to take a day and help out around the house! :roll:

Department of Licensing. One quick call and they will tell you everything you need to know directly from the source.

May I suggest calling the DOL.

I bought my 5 ton for the novelty really. That's why I ever do anything. But I have found many, many uses for it. 1) Taking my little girls to school. 2) Driving to the liquor store. 3) Just making noise. 4) Getting from home to work. 5) Going to Papa Murphy's for a pizza. 6) Laying...

How do they dip the tanks on some regular pickup trucks that have anti-siphoning block screens?

Cool! Maybe an early Roach Coach?

Doesn't seem bad, I have had Chevy trucks that got worse than that.

Makes sense, I can just fill up with 75 gallons and bring 1 drum extra, that's 130 gallons, plenty. They wont see it!

I have used this Duece Elixer of Wrecker's, in slightly different ratios, (actually more UMO). It runs very well. The engine is actually quieter and I haven't noticed any difference in power. It still sounds like a clothes drier full of framing hammers at idle, but the typical diesel...
