I completely forgot to mention this... VW brought us real-life, actual cases of blinker fluid, but it took BMW to put electrons in the water pumps and water in the electron pumps.

Metal Geir Skogul posted:Also through the FITV and the goddamned throttle body? I was going to paste the infamous twin turbo RX7 vacuum line diagram, but felt I should keep it in the Honda family. I'm thinking it's a late 2nd gen since it has an 1500cc with a carb - I think the 3rd gen's 1.5 had EFI? edit: whoops. looked up the engine code, found the CARB executive order for it from 1984, for a 1985 model year. So I guess that engine was approved for sale in California in the middle of the 3rd gen's run. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 11:26 on Dec 1, 2016 |

Yu-Gi-Ho! posted:the infamous twin turbo RX7 vacuum line diagram I get 'nam flashbacks every time I see that poo poo. There was a bank of solenoids in the guts of that loving spaghetti mess that never got recalled, even though they knew they were shitter than poo poo, so they were just replacing them on a case-by-case basis. I did about 20 of those things things in 1999-2000, with each one having a warranty time of ten hours. Mazda being Mazda, that time was basically only achievable if you had wrists that bent all the way backwards so you could touch the point of your own elbow, and also if you designed the emissions system to begin with. Many years later I was doing some work for a Mazda tuning house, and one of the cars that I did the warranty work on came in to get the twin turbos thrown away and a proper aftermarket set up done. I recognised the white-out markings that I would make on the individual vacuum tubes. Tearing all of that poo poo off without any regard for where anything went and throwing it all in the bin was a cathartic experience.

Yep. Tyres proper hosed. Torn out belts and everything. POSSIBLY could patch it, tube it and run it as a spare, but considering where these machines go and how inaccessible they can get when they're working its not worth the risk for $1500... I dont really want to blow a tyre when im hanging on a 40 degree slope above a gully thats 500m deep below me.

Ferremit posted:Ballast helps with stability and traction- Each of my rear tyres has about half a tonne of water/glycol mix in them and the fronts are about 300kg each. Nearly 1.5T of tyre ballast lowers your centre of gravity to the point where this thing will happily climb and descend 40 degree slopes and a 30 degree side slope, while making you poo poo yourself, isnt that big a deal. Why would you not load the tractor on a trailer and truck it there in that case? buttcrackmenace posted:out of curiosity I started computing the strength of the materials that would be needed to keep the driver's seat in place in a ~35MPH crash into an immovable barrier Uh, the exact same strength of materials it would take to keep any driver's seat in place? Do you mean because of the swivel feature? Because that's hardly unique. See '70s GM A-bodies and almost any custom van. kastein posted:Take pictures, cancel the payment with your bank, and tell them they need to pay for the replacement parts or you'll see them in court?

Terrible Robot posted:Correct, it's a tag axle that isn't being used. quote:What benefit does a tag deliver anyway? Well, it provides an increase in carrying capacity, usually an additional 10,000 lbs. to 20,000 lbs. It also may decrease the distance from the rear most axle center to the further rear-most portion on the vehicle, often termed the drawbar. This decreased distance increases the departure angle of the rear overhang of the coach body and frame, making the rear of the coach frame less liable to contact the roadway on uneven ramps or sloped surfaces. Further more, the extra axle today is equipped with an additional set of air brake drums, or in some cases, air disc brakes. Huh, I didn't know that those had a name. I knew that they distributed the weight more evenly and aided in braking, and I remember seeing them be moved on a trailer to change the turning radius, but I suppose that pulling them off the ground would reduce rolling resistance and aid the passenger vehicle's ability to tow the truck. I don't know how they plan to stop, since it's attached by a tie-down cable, but I wouldn't have guessed that they could even start, so...

InitialDave posted:Probably, given that Ferremit is likely talking about the Australian bush? Unimogs won't tow what this big bastard weighs- she's 9T for the tractor, 1.5T for the front end loader and 1.8T for the slasher on the back. Would need a legit heavy machinery float to move it and then you need the truck to tow it, plus that combo isn't fun to drive around the adelaide hills. Work decided that instead of spending $100K on a trailer and truck they'll drop about $10K on tyres on the tractor every 10 years.
