So what will you buy when you need something to recover the 5-tonner?

Ozmiander posted:The bang that an unissued romie ask barrel pin makes when you press it out with a 40 ton shop press can be heard across a half acre factory. Ask me how I know. Oh how sweet. Last time I pressed something out it was the pinion from a crane wheel using a 2000 ton spotting press. It registered 1700t peak before it dropped out.

Nah, just a little squeal then a loud BONG when it dropped. I missed a good noise last night though, the spindle jammed at full speed in our 5m 3 axis mill. Apparently it sounded like "All the gods in pain". gently caress knows what that'll cost to put right.

Not only is owning your own crane incredibly useful, but this one can have parts stolen off it if required.

If I've read this thread correctly, everything can be made to fit a jeep, especially if it came off another vehicle.

When you get the 5tonner registered just pop a spare jeep in the back and leave it at work, duh.

You should build one of those half scale plywood jeeps, but make it a longbed pickup so you can throw it out the back of a broken jeep, drive it to the nearest junkyard and come back with a spare engine or transmission. Bonus points for making the mechanicals almost completely out of real jeep parts, but then I suppose you're basically carrying a spare jeep in the bed. Yeah, do this

I really don't get how you can gently caress up balancing with a digital machine, I remember doing a job placement at 16 at a tyre shop and balancing wheels all day with no issues.

kastein posted:My philosophy on custom vehicle builds is a little different from most as I'm sure you guys have noticed. I like to find super common, cheap parts and bolt them together in new ways rather than customize any given part or buy custom aftermarket parts or build them myself. That goes double for parts I can reasonably expect to fail. For example, a water pump? A lot of guys are perfectly happy drilling and tapping it so they can connect the steam ports to it in their LS swap. Me? I intend to take this pile of junk out in the middle of nowhere. If a water pump fails I want to be able to buy one at the closest parts store or junkyard and install it without modifying it on the side of the road. That's really good logic and it's great to see it written down so clearly. Who knows what you might forget 5 years down the line when you come to replace a part and forget that critical oil groove you had to machine etc.

kastein posted:If it helps any, there's lots of info on the internet about using Prius bldc units and motor-generators in things other than prii. And it wouldn't take many of them to beat the stock motor on horsepower and torque. At 40hp and 225 ftlb each, and 190hp/425ftlb, I'd say five or six ganged together would actually beat a stock M39A2 series. Oh. My. God. How do you have these thoughts? That's incredible.

How many of these spare parts will you take with you when you move and how long after you move will you regret the answer wasn't "absolutely everything and some more I picked up on the way"?
