yep, i later found out they were getting paid behind the scenes , even the EMO got a piece of the pie via a subsidiary he had with someone else's name on it, there were plenty of shady "conflicts of interest" within the town that came to light in time

I concur with HDN about A61 being the booster.. Piece A22 is strange, yes there's a crossmember in that location on the real gassers, however I don't think mine has a perpendicular section on it as seen above.. You have me curious now, I will have to look at the truck again when I get home...

Once upon a time combat engineer Guard units had every piece of heavy construction equipment imaginable to do this service .. Not so anymore due to state/local politics and state budgets .. The units are now few and far between, that's if any HEAVY horizontal construction Nat'l Guard battalions...

Nice ! I totally forgot about Ugly's ! When my youngest son started his stage show tech biz about 15 years ago he had questions around the clock about connection polarity and ratings of lead cords, loading of portable gennies, circuits, and whatnot.. I told him to go online and buy an Ugly's...

that absolutely will give you that as well as better control of the loads and properly protect your branch-circuit conductors from overcurrent as others have said, the actual voltage between phases is 208V but most 240V 1-phase equipment has no issue running on that other than an increase in...

all of mine came with green coolant , 1st one bought in the 1990's .. My last one was purchased via GSA in 2014

it is no problem at all if you divide the single-phase loads among all three of the phases.. i previously forgot to mention specifically your actual voltage between-phases will be 208V which is not an issue with most 1-phase 240 motors and equipment, just that the amperage draw will increase...

1: I concur with G744,, and you already have everything you need right at the lugs .. 2: Just because it's considered 3-phase output doesn't mean you don't have single-phase at the lugs,, because you certainly do ! 3: You will access single-phase 240V by attaching the 1ph load, breaker...

be careful handling those tires ! .. In a sloped motorpool in missouri in the late-70s we were lowering the spare one morning and it got away from us and started down the hill.. One of the guys began to bolt to get in front of it and I intentionally tripped him instead .. When that tire hit the...

If your hand brake doesn't work, then you have a few choices.. Lay down some stop blocks of some sort or chocks in the garage and shove it in with something else, .or fix it outside, or.. ..... or do what some of us others do when both types of brakes are out.. put it in low range and 1st...

yep, seen those as well as fuel tank trailers and van trailers and stakebeds , all with a front steer axle like that in your above link.. We called those "train trailers".. Modern pups don't have a steer axle , they happily sit on the tandem or tri-axle set underneath the body as such ...

this reminds me of a joke that veteran milk haulers would say .. "When you get to your first farm, make sure to pump into the front compartment first so you have weight on the tractor tandems." ;) .... . there are surprisingly many on here who will get it

Nice Job and informative ! somewhere along its time in the system, my M62 had its vice, mounting plate, and all the hoist-related Bii items robbed from it , but I gained a full set of (tire) triple-chains and a pair of singles.. I sure could've used the missing Bii more than once .. Have yet...

i too am concerned with the blowby (and color) .. perhaps needs a good long hard-loaded run after another oil change .. any sign of wet-stacking? ... what you could do to help those two cylinders calm down is install an old-time john deere 200-pound flywheel, perhaps on the front of the...

What we called "pup trailers" in the construction world were factory-built with full-size 14ft dump bodies upon a long-frame tandem chassis for easier backing .. They were pintle-hitch affairs with a self-contained hoist running off the towing truck's quick-couplers at the pintle area.. They...

When you first load that truck bed you're gonna experience a different version of the trucking term "Line Haul" .. A straight line :D The first time I ever drove a loaded M51 (dump) I came barreling off the leg into an easy, large, Tee-intersection at a whopping 20mph , cranked the wheel...

welllllll .... i see it has gotten the optional variable-balance / balance-driven power steering attachment ! ;)

the 400's were the monster of their day .. drove a 1990 western star for a couple days with a NTC400 turned up to 425 horse, ya couldn't load it enough to kill it on hills.. But then again, the gearing had it maxed out at 55mph .. Rode so rough i was glad when I got my regular truck back

you didn't say what your oil pressure readings are in relation to rpm and engine temp .. perhaps you could document them over a period of operational days and see if there's a consistent pattern or not .. i don't have any military trucks newer than 1970's but i have heavy-hauled commercial 800+...

that's about right for a multifuel .. when "my" NG armor BN with the 86th BDE did its regulated convoy moves to Ft Drum it was an uphill climb all the way from the Champlain valley.. There was always a mandatory fuel laager at Mount VanHoevenburg just short of Lake Placid, which was roughly a...
