If you're only ever lifting a few inches of water at a time, I'm sure you could do it with a Jeep or something. The correct answer is ping pong balls. Lots of ping pong balls.

Truck doesn't ride smooth but that's just part of the charm. There isn't much dangly bits to get hung up on and/or tear up. I've been stuck on my front diff before though. Not much to do about that except bigger tires or spend a fuckton of money on portal boxes.

Sponge! posted:I worked in an iron foundry for 3 months... This was a nickel smelter in Thompson, Manitoba. The heat was nearly unbearable anywhere in the plant. At one point we got to watch them pour a crucible and from like 100 yards away I thought my face was going to melt off. It was so dark in the plant too, until they poured that fucker. It was like someone was pouring the out the surface of the sun. But it was a strange light source because while the molten metal itself is excruciatingly bright, it didn't really illuminate anything else in the plant. If you weren't looking at it, everything was just as dark and impossible to see as before.

TheShedDweller posted:Arent these Miller cycle 2 strokes with exhaust valves? No Sponge! posted:Yes, they just scavenge with the forced induction. Double the power strokes is double the power. What? No. Miller cycle engines are four-stroke. A Miller cycle uses a two-part compression stroke. The initial quarter of the stroke the intake valve is left open, allowing the supercharger (Miller cycle engines require positive displacement superchargers) to compress the intake charge. The the intake valve then closes after about a quarter of the compression stroke has completed, allowing for traditional mechanical piston compression to happen.

TheShedDweller posted:I guess what I meant to say is, like a Miller cycle engine it uses constant pressure forced induction. Only on a 2 stroke diesel rather than a Otto cycle. But unlike most 2 stroke motors, they have exhaust valves at the top of the combustion chamber instead of ports to help increase compression. A guy I knew who worked as a diesel mechanic explained it to me like this... What you are describing is a two stroke cycle, the Miller is a modified Otto cycle. It has the typical four strokes; suck, squish, bang, blow. The squish part is modified in that the intake valve stays open during the first quarter of the stroke, allowing the supercharger to compress the charge. This is sometimes called the fifth stroke. The two-stroke diesel engine also requires a supercharger, most famously in the 6-71 Screamin' Jimmy. They are two stroke as you describe, a bang/suck/blow stroke, and a compression stroke.

My Scout works like this. If I fix something, it figures I'm willing to give it attention, so it proceeds to tell me about everything that needs fixing by immediately breaking them. If alternately beat on it mercilessly and then neglect it, it's fine.

Ooopsie. This is the passenger front spindle on the scout. I drove it 30 miles after the bearing started moaning. Note the bearing race (which is normally a unit with the caged rollers) appears to be welded to the spindle itself. I may end up trashing this spindle.

I ate Jesus posted:I guess that would explain why it looks so familiar, it does look a little different in IH form. Did you ever get it off? I had constant bearing problems running bigger (36-38") tires on the D44. Just early failure and sticking to the spindle, but I basically just resigned myself to pulling and repacking the bearings after every weekend in the woods. I was just glad I wasn't snapping axle shafts Yeah, the Scouts are notorious for eating wheel bearings if you wheel them a lot. Submerge a wheel and there is a good chance the bearings will go soon. The spindle seal basically just sucks, and if there is any runout in your bearing, the seal just gets chewed away. Of course, wheeling them causes the bearings to get loose, causing runout. So you wheel it, trash the spindle seal, then submerge a wheel and get mud in your bearings and poof, they're gone. It's apparently a pretty common problem with most solid axles, not just Scouts. I got my spindle off and picked up a few spares, as well as a new (used) hub body. Just gotta put all the poo poo together, I've been lazy and busy, and then lazy again. When it goes together I'm going to put anti-seize all over the spindle where it mates with the knuckle, and then again a light coat where the bearing races mate with the spindle. Might help, I dunno.

MomJeans420 posted:My brother's IH Scout had been leaking more fluids than usual recently, it turns out the box frame broke: Yeah, that happens. It starts when the spring perch starts pulling off, as it does so it rips the frame, weakening it until it fails completely. Looks like he's been driving it like that for a while. Not sure where you are located, but I'd look for something like this: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1749810109.html The bodies actually come off pretty drat easy. Bulkhead connectors, shifters, steering column, brake lines, fuel line, radiator hoses and six body mounts. That's pretty much it if you can lift it.
