Re: Steering "box" question.

Then again once you get the nut off there is no guarantee you'll be able to budge the arm. Not just a professor, you are also a psychic. Nut came off after a 48 hr PB bath, and 30 inches of leverage on the breaker. The arm, however, is still hanging in there, despite a tight pitman arm puller and r...

Re: Steering "box" question.

Yeah, the puller won't be the problem, but the castle nut is trouble. I usually just torch them up to expand them (thereby breaking the corrosion and grumpy threads) but I'm worried that the heat on the shaft will smoke the seal just past the bulkhead.

Steering "box" question.

I have been attempting to remove the castle nut (M20 1.5) that holds the drop arm to the steering shaft. It just won't budge. Yes, I removed the split pin. Is it prudent to heat this nut with a torch to facilitate its removal, or will the heat cause damage to the bushing at the base of the shaft? Al...

Getting the most from the brake system of the Haflinger.

Are there any top tips for getting the most from the Haflinger brake system? Since there are larger bore brake cylinder choices, I assume that may help.. Anyone else have direct experience with optimizing the safe stopping power of the truck? I have heard time and again that "it's a good thing ...

BTW- adding a "Sensory Friendly" component to a car show or touch-a-truck event is awesome! I hope more car shows do it..

Re: 1963 Volvo L3314 Laplander (Valp) on Craigslist

I love these little Puppy trucks. It would make a pretty sweet beach cruiser. They appear kinda tall, so whoever buys it better confirm that it'll fit in their garage.

I need to win the lottery, and have a collection of trucks, sorted by size, Haflnger to Tatra 813.

Re: Classic Haflinger video

You would do the world a service by digitizing that, as long as the audio doesn't sound like a speaker under a pillow. The current version audio track is atrocious.

Classic Haflinger video

Hadn't see this version before today. I guess it's just an edited version of the English SDP promo film. The audio is terrible.

The recoilless anti-tank version is fun.

Re: Considering buying a basket case I found

It's a Pathfinder. Even if it's screwed up to the point of NOT saving it, any salvage value for usable parts might make it worth the purchase price. Does the yard even know what this is? There have been wild price variations in basket-case Haflinger Pathfinders in the last 3 years. Something like $3...

Re: Beyond The Reach movie

If they used THAT for the shoot, they probably imported 3 or more.. or had someone build a fake for the wide shots.
