mowerman Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 Thanks for that. Yes, mine are all removable ends i’m having a little bit of trouble trying to find the sizes. I’m going to try one outfit right down the street from my job gonna give Amazon one more shot this weekend. I received the oil filter for Amazon today. I appreciate your input. I might be contacting you for your supplier, ha ha thanks again bud Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/19/#findComment-541706 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mean Green Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 The small one should be a drain hose back to the block 1 Quote If your going to be a bear be a grizzly Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/19/#findComment-541711 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 OK thanks for that. I don’t know why that hose is so thick. It’s 5/16 inner 11/16 outer. I’m going to take the parts into that hydraulic shop right next to Fedex Tuesday morning see what he has to say I’m exhausted but it’s gonna be a pretty good day. I’m gonna go out there in a little while and mess around with it changing a Maxi valve that’s been leaking the entire time I’ve had it got a brand new one then I have to put my leave blower together. Like you fellas back there I have got attire yard full of them. Job has been beating me to death as well as being sick since Monday right now I’m just guzzling coffee trying to come around Stayed up too late. Watching rawhide last night on DVD wound up sleeping till 830.

Joey Mack Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Yes Sir... I had to put my '48 to the side for a bit. I had repairs to the house and a couple of our trucks, and a bunch of small chores.. I pick at chores during the week, but on Saturday I get a bunch done, and Sunday is a half day.. and today.. a guy who's engine ive had for 3 years, is ready for me to come get a bunch of parts, so I can get back to it.. It's hard to work on my own stuff for long periods of time... Oh well.... 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/19/#findComment-543047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well.... safe to say; Your not alone in that area of work comes first ::: just unfortunate it's everyone else's work you find yourself doing first. back in '93 I bought a brand new hino FA cab/chassis. it sat in my garage for 1 yr almost to the day. finally sent it to bobby worden ; one heck of a welder and fabricator. I worked with him on it when ever I could "hide" from side work. platform dump custom built . 30 yrs later the schedule has slowed down some , will power to say "I can't do that stuff anymore "is better . more important the body TELLS me ;; nope not happening. couldn't even climb up into the RW other day. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/19/#findComment-543123 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy.... my Chinese land lady brought me some meds from Chinese store . two part system . one is same as a red iodine -no mess. then the square patch. I use a lot. rub the "iodine" on the knees with cotton swab then the sticky patch over it. the heat felt is amazing compared to the other pharmacy brands I've tried::: and boy have i tried most if not all others.
