Looks like something Tom Cruise would pop out of. Seriously, it is looking good Andrew.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Welcome to the hydraulic world...if it says "wrecker" or "medical service" or "military" anywhere in the nomenclature...it costs about 10-20 times more than say...a dump truck...but it's the EXACT same part...just totally different cause someone drilled a hole or changed a part number.Well the new shaft came in today. And I'm disappointed to say the least. It's nothing more than the same shaft I have with a 7/16" hole bored through it and 1/4NPT taps on the end. The oiling port is nothing more than a 1/8" hole drilled in one side. Could have done all of this for nothing but labor instead of $60. Oh well. I'll try to get it reassembled tomorrow. Got the new shaft in the freezer to try to shrink it a bit. (interference fit)
you talked about that earlier, you decided since you didn't know exactly where the oiling was that it was worth it to spend the $60, I agree, you know now, but you didn't know then.Well the new shaft came in today.

I'm still in the same boat. This weekend will determine if I'll get any "time back" on the outcome of my son's football game. (If they win, they go to the bowl series) Just between all the stuff in my personal life, and all the work (main job, SS, and my sideline). My "wrench time" is at the bottom of the list.Any updates on the SEMTT? I miss reading your thread.....
