    Light duty grapple question

    I have never regretted my 48" grapple. Works on general brush piles, logs and heavy loads like this: The left rear tire was very light in the loafers when I took this pic. I was right on the edge of lifting it off the ground. I went very slow down my road to drop the log on the side...

    How are Military Tank Turrets Mounted?

    Pretty much the same battleship turrets were installed. A bunch of turrets have fallen out of their mountings after being sunk, then turtling on their way down.

    Supporting loader when under

    And where is that limiting verbiage in his initial statement? Go read the ad, where is the limiting language in his "protects" statement.

    When the stealth bomber flies over

    Anyone have an OPC* Timer fail?

    I bypassed mine yesterday - permanently. Cut the wires to the POC timer as close to the body as I could. Found the two switched hots, the OPC timer hot lead and the ground. Permently attached the two switched hots and the OPC timer hot lead together, shrink wrapped them, then reconnected the...

    Anyone have an OPC* Timer fail?

    Apparently mine has. Intermittent fail to start (cranks fine), then went hard failure. Traced the electrons from the key stop solenoid to the key stop relay then to the OPC timer. I could not reliably test the OPC timer as described in the WSM. Hence, I decided to bypass it and see if the...
