    How about a combination of common sense and experience followed by "No, sorry, that looks too soft."

    Any brand log trucks

    I noticed when I drove by today that your shop looked like a ghost town. Is all OK?

    Any brand log trucks

    I'd say 6-71, 2 valve head, 5 & 4 with a tall gear ratio.

    Overload of the Day

    Shave and pave. A great process if the sub-surface is suitable. Another is to pulverize, grade, compact, and re-coat.

    Deutz f4l 1011

    Seems fairly simple. These engines are air cooled. Anything to do with air is important. If its there from the factory, leave it alone.

    Detroit 6v92 Rebuild Questions

    Machine work is another factor. It may need a line bore, head/block surfacing, new ring gear, and who knows what else. Until disassembly and inspection there is no real, way to put out a rebuild cost.

    Looking to buy a log champ yarder, is this engine exportable?

    This does sound a little odd. It's the timing of transactions that's off to me.

    Overload of the Day

    A few days ago 2 guys died when a wheel and tire came loose from a mini car haul trailer on I-5 and went through their front window. That makes me wonder how often these over loaded trailers get jacked up to check wheel bearings for wear. I have the feeling the answer is not much.
