Get one out of a van and cut it off to the proper length.You mean how about finding me a dipstick that’s works for the dang thing haha
Reminds me of an engineer when I worked for Caterpillar. I was on and R&D team for a new machine. They were trying to lighten it so it could be dropped from C130's. The engineer told everyone on the team that he would change the torque specs, because torquing nuts compressed them and compressing them makes them denser, which in turn makes them heavier. We all asked him if he was serious and sure **** he was... He repeated it and then proceeded to argue with the head cheese about it.. He didnt last long there.
That wasn’t my problem, the poly has a slightly smaller diameter tube than an LA and all the replacement I could find were if the LA diameterGet one out of a van and cut it off to the proper length.
I’ve seen them drop small Bulldozers out before. Probably D3-5 range in sizeWere they gonna drop a 992 out of a C130? I wanna watch!
I knew a girl like that once!That wasn’t my problem, the poly has a slightly smaller diameter tube than an LA and all the replacement I could find were if the LA diameter
Nope, I worked at the factory where they made all the paving equipment. This was a new double drum compactor.Were they gonna drop a 992 out of a C130? I wanna watch!
That's interesting. Been a long time since I thought about strain gages - which is what must be in them.Digital torque and micrometers are banned right now on MOST DoD projects for that reason. They tend to be more inconsistent and have to be checked for calibration much more often. And that’s the expensive good ones that cost a **** ton.
So did I!I knew a girl like that once!
I thought it was THEMAliens
If only there were a way to make a hole in metal larger...HmmmmmThat wasn’t my problem, the poly has a slightly smaller diameter tube than an LA and all the replacement I could find were if the LA diameter
We made a high speed rubber track dozer that was a blast. It could travel at 45mph. We had 4 of them that we had to test a new paint on and they would take it and abuse it, we would get it back and repeat. Best part was working in the winter we would start those up and race through the parking lot and down the street... It was a blast and Im sure we would of been in a lot of trouble if we ever got caught...I’ve seen them drop small Bulldozers out before. Probably D3-5 range in size
Similar prob with most of the AMC 360-401 tubesThat wasn’t my problem, the poly has a slightly smaller diameter tube than an LA and all the replacement I could find were if the LA diameter
Sooo...the same mass in a smaller space makes it heavier than the original mass was?Reminds me of an engineer when I worked for Caterpillar. I was on and R&D team for a new machine.

The engineer told everyone on the team that he would change the torque specs, because torquing nuts compressed them and compressing them makes them denser, which in turn makes them heavier.

Many of the digitals aren't as accurate as the micrometer style.Digital torque and micrometers are banned right now on MOST DoD projects for that reason. They tend to be more inconsistent and have to be checked for calibration much more often. And that’s the expensive good ones that cost a **** ton.
The QA guys that come in from the DoD and check stuff from time to time told us that the theory is that as the batteries drain, their tolerances on their readouts increase. Which I’m not sure I fully buy that theory.That's interesting. Been a long time since I thought about strain gages - which is what must be in them.
The digital is often convenient, but I rely on the sound and feel when wrenching most of the time. The digital's warning sound is tricky to use consistantly.

Read up...If only there were a way to make a hole in metal larger...Hmmmmm
There is...just use a larger drill bit!If only there were a way to make a hole in metal larger...Hmmmmm
My point.....There is...just use a larger drill bit!
