FEA? Are the ramp designs that you are considering indeterminant? Are you concerned with fatigue life due to weight restrictions and the number of loading cycles? .... At work, we used CATIA to design and solid model every part of the...

I’ll be visiting the Terrain Taner HQ in Melbourne in a month, super excited to see this cruiser in person! I have a soft spot for HJ47s since I had one as my DD for a number of years when my son was born. 😎 Georg @ Valley Hybrids & Terrain...

There is more to the story today but the food was good

New injection pump. I'm told it is for a 1HD-T. 22100-17880. Not sure if this will bolt on a 1HZ. This part number corresponds to a 1HD-T/FT. Any knowledge out there?

No apologies needed. Not sure the Milwaukee is axial. After heat cycles an brass hammer got some axial hits with penetrant in the mix. We also tapped it with an air hammer with flat tip. PO had rounded two bolts and tried to air chisel it out and...

Possibly stating the obvious. If so, please let me apologize in advance. Regarding impact ... it is obvious from the picture that the impact driver was used. Was axial impact in the mix too? What I am referring to is striking the bolt/king...

Almost time for some pumpkin spice?

Have you seen this? 79 totally original paint only 46k on body, PO hydrolocked motor in 89, sat under a carport until 2014 when I bought it, dropped a 2f from an FJ60 in it with a sniper.. Drove it to Hot Springs and back 600 mike

Thanks….the second thing i purchased for that 8N 3 yrs ago was an over-run clutch…. I’ve heard several stories about the torque pushing the 8N into a precarious position. Changed hydraulic fluid yesterday… those 2” drain plugs are some free...

My first tractor was a Ferguson 30. I learned the hard way about a live PTO. The inertia from the mower pushed me into the ditch. After that I bought a clutch from the local farm store and placed it on the PTO shaft.

A couple of years back, the Allis needed some work on the front axle spindle and the lift was very handy for the work required. They have ag applications too.

If you find a used brush hog mower, many of the older ones were not equipped with an over running clutch. If you encounter that, an over running clutch can be purchased as a PTO attachment for your 8N. [on the chance you are not familiar...

My son thinks he might of bent the crazy wheel on the back of the bush hog. I went ahead and put it on the lift to fix the wheel and sharpen blades.

It has way too many issues, RF fender is bondo thats chipping out, got all those holes from the snaps on the Bestop got several random holes drilled...besides, I done got a survivor....

Friend found this in a Culdesac in McKinney thaw house had a 2 car garage with a one car attached. He had never seen the one car opened in ten plus years. One day he noticed it up, and spotted the front end of an FJ40. It took a couple of years...

Oh he's not gonna pass from his cancer soon, it;s in remission and he has a great outlook........he just chose to spend the near future on other things other than this truck......

In my days of youth, I had a after school job at a trucking company where I changed many semi tires on split rims. Beyond concurring with the advice that has already been shared, we used automatic transmission fluid as the lube for mounting...

**SOLD** Thanks to everyone for their kind comments about this restoration. It is staying in the mud community

I did the same thing. Fortunately oil didn't make it to the ceiling! After that I added a relief valve to dump pressure fast. Also don't like the little regulator on it and rigged up a separate hose/regulator to more easily control pressure...

@Waorani I have that same oil tank. The first time I had drained it I pumped the air up to about 40lbs and opened the valve,,,,BIG MISTAKE. Cleaned up oil for 2 hours.. it only needs a few psi and it flows easily

Thanks for solving the mystery. I saw one a couple of weeks back on Ponce near Mary Mac's. I told my daughter about it and she said that she had seen two with names painted on them. And I thought the swarm of driverless taxis running around...
