Some oddball questions

[RobVG]

I'll start out with one but I'm sure I'll come up with several.

When you grease the swing pinion and ring gear, the manuals tell you to measure the depth of the grease. WTF? What difference does it make how deep the grease is as long at the gear faces are covered?

Texclad 2- the only grease that's messier than molly.

just throwing a thought out there, if the weather is really cold, wouldn't the grease get even more tacky ? making it harder for the swing motor work harder ?

Oddball questions eh?

Ok, I'm game...why is it, when the bottom of your foot itches, no amount of kicking, stomping, twisting, praying, or cursing will make it stop itching until you UNLACE YOUR DAMN BOOT, TAKE IT OFF, AND ACTUALLY SCRATCH IT while you're doing 70 mph down a highway???

why can't they make a fuel hose that is flexable all year round? at -33c the hose is great fun to work with out breaking.

LoL, the hole is funny enough KoO...but the mental picture of the snow (cold) is hilarious.

KoO, That fuel hose looks even more vicious than most. It looks like that one is actively on the attack!

That seat on that crawler looks like a great convenience.

i ran a load during a snow storm in the great white north. the air cleaner on the ford sucked in all the snow which went in to the air compressor. so how many snow flakes did it take to fill the alcohol container??? i had just serviced the alcohol container before the trip and in 11 hours it was full of snow flakes.

You don't suppose Rob thought he'd get an actual answer, do you?

They can.

Just not for where you live.

Ya Willie, You shloud have seen the looks I used to get when I was on a D-8 knocking down fill dirt from a fleet of 631's and there I sit with my shoe off scratcin like there was no tomorrow !

 

[Diagonal Brace]

They do make an arctic rated fuel hose. Expensive as all get out though. Shouldnt the air filter stop the snowflakes?

Yep, from everyone here...except me, he would expect something oddball from me.
