    Sizing Pipe for Roof Drainage

    Actually you hire a licensed plumbing contractor who is trained to calculate this. When you do it and it fails and causes roof damage or failure, then you will either be out of business or on the hook for the building.

    Unit with environmentally friendly detroit diesel.

    Started up the old unit the other day. It smokes but it cleans up and screams like a good Detroit should.

    T300 modifications available. Anyone switched to joysticks?

    Theodore--question on welding a truck chassis

    We needed to use the certified welders in the shop and then have the repairs inspected by an engineer when we did any repairs to crane booms. Other heavy equipment didn't require this. The brake bands for cranes also had to be certified.

    Theodore--question on welding a truck chassis

    The short answer is yes. Of course you have to be certified , you have to use the proper prcedures, And some NDT would probbly be a good idea after the welding procedure. I worked at a truck and trailer shop, this was done quite often when we were turning long haul trucks into gravel trucks. The...

    Alberta side booms

    I doubt it would be OJ. They are union and would have to pay the rate. And it seems pretty low for an exprienced operator.

    D10T - 777F - D8T Cam failures

    No expert in any way on the subject......buuuut. We ran into a rash of failures on the solid lifter engines in our oval track cars and couldnt figure out why. It was eventually chased down to the reduction of zinc in the motor oils. We started using a readilly available zinc additive and the...

    Broken valve spring to run or not to run that is the question!?

    Another trick we used to use with the race cars was to put string into the bore and then hand bar the engine over until the valve is supported. Change the spring and then pull the string out. Replace your rockers and injector and you are ready to fire up

    I want one of these so bad. Allways thought they were ahead of their time. Besides the fact that you can rebuild that musical diesel with the change in your pocket.

    build a motocross track in 1000 easy steps

    I have taken the best of 2 years to build this track and I will lay this out for you guys over the next few days. A buddy and myself decided that we wanted our own riding area and I would be just the guy to build it. Kinda fair seeing as he has the actual land that we are building on. I also...
