Stumper you firewooder is going to hit a bump in the road and that one ton will fold up like a house of cards. I've seen it happen. 10 ton is about twice what it should handle. About 2.5 ton on a heavy 3/4 and 5 max on a beefed up one ton is more than enough .Even dually's can only handle so...

Just for information , heat build up is a destroyer of auto trannys .You get to pulling heavy loads or running hills with the pedal to the medal,bet on a short life. Proper maintanence,maybe 150-200 thou if you are lucky .Flog hell out of it,maybe 75 .It's a lot cheaper to change oil than...

Two types of engines,those that leak and those that will. The only non leaker I have is a 1942 D4 Cat.It is put together with Garlock gaskets and number one Permatex,about like welding everything on .Of course the brand new Mercury doesn't leak----yet .It will in time ,bet on it .

To tell the truth I really think Marvel mystery oil is nothing but auto tranny fluid. The stuff is a half-fast penetrating oil . The stuff has been around every since I can remember.It works to desludge an engine,to a point but so will tranny fluid .It nor anything else is the magic cure all...

I don't know how truth there is to this but they claimed before winter blend diesel fuel that kersosine would harm the engine. The standard practice was to dump a can or two of auto tranny fluid in the tank during cold weather operations . Geeze before blended fuels,direct injected...

I only assume the inline Bosc is similar to a Cat inline.I've never seen the Bosc apart.My parents motor home with a 300 Hp Cummins uses a Bosc inline. Now the old Cat deal had a heater by virtue of the fact that the fuel filter chamber was tied to the cooling water.Thus as the engine temp...

The Bosch style pump has been around for years and years. I didn't know there was a problem with them.:? Speaking of diesel,I wonder what that guy in NYC that was on TV a couple of years ago uses in his VW diesel he ran on cooking oil.The guy used old french frier oil from McDonalds an other...

Ha,every day I walk out to the parking lot of that auto factory I work at and see all the "cowboy limosines" ,3/4 and one tons with duallys and a bed cover. I have to laugh because most likely the bigget load they will ever carry is set of golf clubs :lol: A bright side to this worry of high...

Well there were two model "A" 's. The first was early on prior to the model T ,maybe 1905 or so then came the model B then T and finally the more we known A. Henry,being Henry most likely tried every thing from Alkie to tupintine. He was just a tad bit eccentric as were a lot of the early...

For the record Henry Ford's first engines were designed to run on alkie but gasoline was cheaper. Actually a Model A will run on kerosine if you first get it started on gas . Rudolph Diesel used powdered coal in his early endeavers until he blew one apart nearly killing some people. I don't...
