          Brock,

          It will be self evident. remove the two bolts and spin (unthread) the adapter plate off the sending unit. Assemble in reverse order. laugh

            Steering clutch brake bands, and my postulation for modifying the existing lining (including replacing the aluminum rivets with brass), or completely relining with segments from new friction material instead of the “fire hose” type OEM lining.

            The light colored band has the worst rivet job I've ever seen – some rivets are not even countersunk. The dark colored band is the second worse job – some rivets have separated and bulged the lining.

             

            Something is wrong with SimplePress. Tried several times.

              Geez! Hope the wife is okay.

              Okay, I said “technically” because NEC 2011 doesn't list it as such. However, the term does exist in the practical world so I'll refer to it as a lay term. So far I have not run into anyone that didn't know what I was talking about, professionals included.

               

              Well, the shop is beginning to fill up. A few more shelves, another gantry crane, and then comes the dozer.

                I felt like making popcorn. Wow!  puncharguepunch

                Kinda reminiscent of Tommy and I awhile back. roflmao

                I haven't purchased any wire or conduit yet, but getting close.

                There technically is no such thing as a “sub panel”, as that name does not exist in the 2011 NEC. What I have is an “Equipment Service Disconnect”.

                  By the time you get up into a rig that will do 5/8″ MS, you're out of the casual hobby league. Lincoln has a nice package for just over a couple grand.

                    Phil:

                    The hardest part of the job was removing the brake cam shaft. This shaft must be removed first to remove the pins.

                    I'm curious if any of the lining cracked or broke when you pulled it around, and how hard was it to pull? Approximate equivalent to lifting a weight, in pounds.

                    Do you have the new bands installed already? Good for you. Glad it went easy.

                    I will still be pulling my final drive assemblies because I want to inspect the steering clutches.

                      Thanks for that Grizz & Tom, I'm not bullet proof ya know. roflmao

                      I was originally going to have a seperate service drop with a meter head and transfer switch but that has changed and I'm still looking into it. Seems there are some conflicts/confusion within NEC 2011 and Puget Sound Energy. I'll probably end up using quad-plex back to the main panel. Good thing I han't bought the wire yet. The Department of Labor & Industries does the inspections up here.

                        Well permit fees? This may be representative.
