VI: Buy/Sell/Trade, In Search Of

[LittleJohn]

Awesome I’m interested. I hand chop logs for fun but don’t yet have treed acreage. It’s more fun than the almost pointless exercise at a gym.

I had to do this this summer to make a couple beams to support a shop I was working out of in the Yukon. We were too far out to order the beams. And the whole shop was beginning to fold in on its self so I had to build a internal support frame out of 8"/8". We had some lumber laying around that I could build most of the frame out of but were short a couple posts.

Also I have a spare broadhead axe head if your interested...

The posts look like they are leaning but that is the walls. Hence the internal framework.

Pretty cool achievement, but I must admit my shoulders hurt just looking at those pictures!

You guys ever thought of investing in one of those chainsaw mill units?

This discussion just reminded me of a NOVA doc I saw on rebuilding the Notre Dame after the fire. If I remember correct, they're using medieval techniques in preparing the oak trusses for the roof. Web pic:

That's awesome. I used to do that sort of s*** on wooden boats...long scarfs and fun times. My boss was so old school he'd talk wistfully about the saw pits back in england. Where one guy is down in a well hanging onto the other end of a bigass handsaw to cut beams. **** that noise...

Had lots of good tricks,, like putting a piece of 1/8" ply in the scarf joint before clamping it to drill for the bolts. When you take the ply out the holes are just slightly off, but it makes the scarf way tighter.

Had this really cool old bandsaw, ( blade was about 18' long) and when you turned a crank, the whole saw tilted, but the table stayed flat. Was great for doing frames where they had twist to them. Mark the angles along the lines, and yell at some poor bastard on the crank when to go. Saved lots of hours with the hand plane. Still totally ****ed my elbows tho.

When I was building my shed I was tempted go post and beam, found this really cool website with lots of timber frame joints for different applications.

There’s something cool about being able to build in the way that’s been done for hundreds of years before needing a different power tool for every job. Seeing all the tooling marks from every swing or blow is far more interesting than milled lumber.

ISO: Wastegate for 13BT. Mine holds zero pressure. Take way too much pressure to move it. Always over-boosting condition?
Anyways, looking for good oem used or quality aftermarket. I see that “Mamba” has options but I’m having trouble with their contact form.

Waste gates are highly over rated.







Good luck with your search.

Contact Steve @ EBI he might have something

Any chance anyone has a brake vacuum reservoir for a 78 BJ40 Part # 44704-60020 ?

Sorry don’t have one of those but I might be able to braze up a rust hole for you.

Thanks Steve - It's more like a big dent needs to be taken out, it got crushed several years ago. Maybe if we pumped lots of air into it the dent would come out ?

Looks like Awl_teq is still making stainless steel replica canisters.

Awl_TEQ Metal Parts etc.

Edit October 28, 2020 Hello all! If you are interested in any of the 40 series parts I make please contact Dan at 4WheelAuto and he will help you out. 4WheelAuto is now handling all of my parts essentially as a distributor. I make them and he ships them! Dan is trying to decide what and how...

The stuff that awlteq dude makes is so nice, it makes me want to buy things I'll never need.

I've never actually had a vac reservoir on any of my 40's. Ever. Never noticed any difference to be honest

I suppose it gives you one or two extra boosted pumps of the brakes if the engine stalls, but whens the last time a 3b actually stalled?

 

[bcsteel]

Same for me. Every 40 I’ve had the vacuum tank took a hike. Never noticed a difference. If you wanted a tank you could always use a 60 tank. I think I have a couple spares of those. Probably not worth shipping tho.

 

[stevebradford]

You guys say you haven’t noticed a difference but you both say that you have never had a vacuum tank on your trucks..

So how would you notice a difference

hah! I’m just being annoying. But seriously I have noticed a difference. I used to run without out a vacuum tank but scared myself strait one time on a hill decent. I was off road with a small camper trailer in tow going down a very long very steep bumpy gravel “driveway” I was idling down in low rang and bumping the brakes for small cross ditches and to keep the rpm down when I ran out of vacuum, you see the vacuum pump doesn’t produce much vacuum at an idle. Nothing bad happened other than white knuckles and a fast bumpy ride and an over Rpm motor while standing on the brake peddle. Oh and I lost all my camping cooking gear all over the trail when the latch on my camper kitchen broke from bouncing over the bumps but that was just funny.

I run a vacuum can always now.

I just know that when the vacuum cannister was working, my brakes felt much more solid than they do without the vacuum assist, hence the requirement for a new one.
