I spend a lot of time around here pulling weeds or spraying Roundup on them, I have paths on my east and north fence lines that grow weeds 3' tall, also weeds grow under the grape vines in the photo below. https://i.postimg.cc/qMQ8QkLM/006.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3xc25nVs/008.jpg It's never ending ...

Today I pressure washed the bed of the truck with my rotating head tip which will take everything down to the bone by the second pass over the body, I had to go to the doctors once when it went thru my shoe into my foot, I went in to the doctor because I was afraid I had shoe in my foot. Anyway once...

I test drove this today, no more noise caused by the fender well extensions, all is good again.

I drove this truck the other day and made a terrible noise, it was the inner wall of the fender wells I added as that area was not attached to anything so it vibrated against the box bed where it was touching, it was very loud at certain RPMs. So today I ran some errands and picked up some seam seal...

I changed out the turbo piping today, I got rid of that ABS stuff and used 2 turbo elbows and hangglider frame tubing, it appears to have worked out great but I have not test drove it yet. https://i.postimg.cc/hvXz6SBn/010.jpg I had to remove the large front brake reservoir. https://i.postimg.cc/CMG...

What temp are you measuring, fluids, block?

I guess I should have started a thread about the adapter plate I made here instead of this thread, but I originally just did it to see if I could do it, that is why it was put in this thread. Andrew(Bananahamuck on Ratsun) posted a response in my thread about this plate I made over there, I guess JJ...

Great update!
Sometimes it is better to leave something alone, don't fix what is not broke.

I made a stand for the TommyGate so I could show it working and use it if I wanted to, say to get something heavy high enough to get into the 521kc or 720kc, I would not trust it to lift something really heavy, but I am pretty sure it will lift a block. https://i.postimg.cc/ZRTvpWQL/010.jpg I have n...

Great update

I just got back from driving this truck over a 100 miles and there is one drip on the board below the tail shaft, need to change the seal but not in a hurry for one drip. It drove good in all gears, I adjusted the timing to around 8/10 degrees BTDC and I think it is slightly knocking, need to go bac...

I pulled the transmission, fixed the issue I hope, and replaced the transmission, here is a photo of it out again. https://i.postimg.cc/d0TX57dB/015.jpg It turned out to be the front cover(I believe), when I removed it there was no gasket, I am not sure how that happened but there was no gasket on t...

I pulled the fill plug and about 8 ounces came out, so far only one drip when I drove it 2 miles. When it was in the air I seen that fluid had been coming out the transmission clutch arm hole also as I don't have the rubber piece in that hole right now, I still suspect I will have to remove the tran...

It's always going to be something, I used this truck to do a small job and when I went to leave I noticed a puddle on the ground just under the hole for the bell-housing area, so the transmission worked flawlessly, but a puddle. Before I put the transmission up in position I turned it on its side an...

That is why when I buy them wheels they have to be holding air on the shelf, even if they are half flat I will not buy them, I actually look for the ones that are fully inflated and almost rock hard. I have enough of them tires that lose all their air overnight, with weight on them after they go fla...

Can you use that smaller manifold on your engine?

That is the second or third coat of rattle can paint, it is not going to buff out.
If it was pretty no one would know it was me.

I never thought I could do it in one day anymore but I did it, I removed and replaced the transmission, I also pulled the transmission apart and found a bad bearing as I suspect the fluid got too low so I pulled apart the other transmission I had and looked it over real close, I found none of the bi...

The water in the pond is completely clear now.

The tires are rated for 300lbs each, I do not know what the flatbed weighs but I am sure your sprayer is a lot less weight, 2 of them are good for 600lbs, but like I said the hubs/rims are not that strong with side pressure. I paid $6.50 each and I made sure they were holding air before buying them,...
