    I guess Hogebuilt SS are the best,but aluminum from Protech and others are less than 1/2 the price.Also,the 80" from Hogebuilt are 51" across the diam vs 48" from Protech or Merritt,which would be a better fit with my 275 70R-22.5 tires.Anyone use and recommend aluminum fenders? Thanks.

    Rear tires are mounted and aligned...took all day w/ cleanup/painting the spokes and spacers.Will do the steers if it stops raining today,first precip in almost a month here in NJ.

    I got the right rears off,cleaning the hub facings.Is ok to use any lube or anti seize to make things go on smoother,esp the spacer.Thanks.

    Thanks,Paul,I was told that split rims could hurt you,and deflating the tire removed any danger.

    I`m seeing from 150 to 250 ft lbs for the wedges,and some saying not to bother with a torque wrench at all,since there are inconsistencies,eg,thread condition,rust,that vary from hub to hub.Would 200 ft lb be a good number? I`ll be swapping 6 tube rims and tires tomorrow for tubeless.I know to deflate the old tires before loosening any lugs,but this is first time territory for me.Thanks.

    I took the fitting to a local plumber shop,he fixed me up w/ the plugs.Thanks.

    Thanks.Oddly,when removing,a 15/16 wrench on the flats was too small,a 1" was too big,a 23mm fit perfectly.Would there be a metric version of these fittings?

    Hi,new B61 owner here.I want to remove the trailer air lines from the junction behind the cab.Can anyone tell me the size/thread plugs I`ll need? I`m guessing this is an industry standard size. Thanks.

    I don`t know what the crud is on these rims,but short of scraping it off,it ignores,in succession;Spray9,acetone,citrus paint stripper and Purple Power.Would steam cleaning work? Thanks.

    Hi,is visible smoke from the road vent(crankcase) to be expected or is it indicative of excessive blowby?Would this be a deal breaker for a buyer who couldn`t afford an engine rebuild.The engine seems healthy otherwise.Thanks for any advice.

    Has anyone found something from another vehicle that can replace the original,which is all but impossible to find?Thanks.
  15. skydawg
    Thanks Frank,STTC in Bethlem has used rims and tires,I`m told.

    Hi,does anyone know a source for these in the Allentown area or a reasonable hike from there? Could use decent used tires,will just be bobtailing a B61. Thank You.

    I`d like to know what the 1962 B61 sold for.

    Hi,is anyone bringing a B model to Macungie this year to sell?
  19. skydawg
    Two days ago it could be had for $4.99/gal here in NNJ.Today it`s $5.76...WTF?

    I should add that I know alot of people that can make large amounts of alcohol evaporate...still no word on the Unishift device.
  21. skydawg
    I`ve read a few tales of an aux case cracking/puking,and hope this is a result of poor maintenance,and therefore avoidable.
  22. skydawg
    I`ve about given up on finding a nice B61 s/a tractor and am looking at a B67 w/ Unishift trans.So this setup has an air cylinder that needs frequent water draining,as well as an alcohol evaporator?Is that something that you fill w/ alcohol on a regular schedule? Thanks.

    I guess Vinny has completely abandoned this site...he would have ben raving over this a few yrs ago.
  24. skydawg

  25. skydawg
    What sort of mileage could I hope to get w/ a light spec 1961 B61,S/A,END 673,Duplex direct,4.66 dual reduction rear axle,11x22.5 tires,bobtail only.I also could use an explanation of "Dual Reduction",as per the rear axle. Thank You.
