Stumps behind the yarder are cut tall with notches to keep the guyline from slipping off same for the tail hold for the skyline you can see better here the 4 guylines on the left and the skyline on the right

Sometimes we use this little Christy yarder its small enough you can put it on the edge of some steep ground where space is tight

Reworked the guyline shives and a little welding on the top of the tower should be logging the next skyline unit shortly

Not sure what valve you have there are several different ones but this one is attached to the tank with a 1/2 inch pipe the port on the left is the service brake and the one in the center is charging the tank when the air is disconnected it applies the brakes in an emergency

Are you still using a series parallel switch with 4- 6volt batteries? And all of the cable ends are good and clean where they go into the end terminals

If you can hear the solenoid clicking it's working but a lot of times the o-rings on the solenoid get baked hard over time and lose pressure easy to change them out if you have not already

Visible smoke is normal even a little oil, excessive smoke is usually accompanied by a fair amount of oil dripping -

I ordered a new core for my B 755 project a couple months ago thought I had better do it before the price gets to high it came in at just over 800 dollars got a price for a Peterbilt 359 core recently and it was about 750 dollars more than the one we got 2 years ago -
how long has the radiator been in there they do get choked up with deposits over time
-
I switched to the Milwaukee hand held band saw years ago just more user friendly but takes a little practice to get accurate cuts

1979 Superliner w/ ENDT676 Maxidyne 300 losing prime
D-Day replied to Truckie Harbison's topic in Engine and Transmission
I second that, I have seen to many people spray to much ether in an engine to get it started usually in cold weather, and afterwards it needs ether to start it even though its not very cold when I tear down to rebuild ill find broken rings the smaller the pistons the smaller the rings they wont handle it as well as a large bore with bigger piston rings we have 2 pieces of equipment down right now that had a lot of hours on them one with a cat 3056 and the other with a cat 3126 both were ether addicts when the cold weather came -
I have overhauled several and we still have a couple of them in use hate to see good parts go to waste
-
.2 v is not much of a drop the inside of the ignition switch does wear out but seems more like a ground issue from the instrument panel back to the frame or cab ground to battery ground
