Cruise liner clutch problem
Joseph Cummings replied to Nathanwhit1's topic in Engine and Transmission
To do it right, you set the clutch brake adjustment with the linkage/cable/ at the arm first, then adjust the ring. That way the geometry for everything is right. Looking at the video, I have a feeling the clutch was slipping and someone tried to adjust it by putting more play in the linkage instead of turning the ring. To me the throw out bearing looks kinda close to the pressure plate -
Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves and Ryan O'Hara Still no info on the woman This was supposed to be a "Continuity of Government" training. For like when the nukes are on their way and the big shots go hide in bunkers while the rest of us have to fight off the zombies

Even a primary student pilot is taught this from like the beginning. They spend like half their time flying the pattern and doing takeoffs and landings. A big airport like that, everyone knows the pattern and what altitude you should be, at every point. A big airport like that there is no guesswork on landing, even back in the day you had a lighted visual glide slope to follow called a "VASI" Red over red, you're dead;(Too Low) Red over white, you're alright;(On The Slope) White over white, fly all night(Too High) An approach slope is the path that an aircraft follows on its final approach to land on a runway. It is ideally a gentle downward slope. A commonly used approach slope is 3° from the horizontal. However, some airports have a steeper approach slope because of topography, buildings, or other considerations. London City Airport, for example, has a 5.5° approach slope; only aircraft that can maintain such an approach slope are allowed to use the airport.[4] In the United Kingdom, any approach of 4.5° or greater is defined as steep and requires special approval.[5] Steeper approaches require a longer laYnding distance, which reduces runway throughput at busy airports, and requires longer taxi distances. Airports such as Heathrow and London Luton are trialling slightly steeper approaches (3.2°) to reduce noise, by keeping the aircraft higher for longer and reducing engine power required during descent.[6][7] United States TERPS (Terminal Instrument Procedures) specifies maximum glidepath angles/vertical descent angles for each aircraft approach category.[8]

""" 14 CFR § 91.113 - Right-of-way rules: Except water operations. CFR prev | next § 91.113 Right-of-way rules: Except water operations. Link to an amendment published at 89 FR 92485, Nov. 21, 2024. (a) Inapplicability. This section does not apply to the operation of an aircraft on water. (b) General. When weather conditions permit, regardless of whether an operation is conducted under instrument flight rules or visual flight rules, vigilance shall be maintained by each person operating an aircraft so as to see and avoid other aircraft. When a rule of this section gives another aircraft the right-of-way, the pilot shall give way to that aircraft and may not pass over, under, or ahead of it unless well clear. (c) In distress. An aircraft in distress has the right-of-way over all other air traffic. (d) Converging. When aircraft of the same category are converging at approximately the same altitude (except head-on, or nearly so), the aircraft to the other's right has the right-of-way. If the aircraft are of different categories— (1) A balloon has the right-of-way over any other category of aircraft; (2) A glider has the right-of-way over an airship, powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft. (3) An airship has the right-of-way over a powered parachute, weight-shift-control aircraft, airplane, or rotorcraft. However, an aircraft towing or refueling other aircraft has the right-of-way over all other engine-driven aircraft. (e) Approaching head-on. When aircraft are approaching each other head-on, or nearly so, each pilot of each aircraft shall alter course to the right. (f) Overtaking. Each aircraft that is being overtaken has the right-of-way and each pilot of an overtaking aircraft shall alter course to the right to pass well clear. (g) Landing. Aircraft, while on final approach to land or while landing, have the right-of-way over other aircraft in flight or operating on the surface, except that they shall not take advantage of this rule to force an aircraft off the runway surface which has already landed and is attempting to make way for an aircraft on final approach. When two or more aircraft are approaching an airport for the purpose of landing, the aircraft at the lower altitude has the right-of-way, but it shall not take advantage of this rule to cut in front of another which is on final approach to land or to overtake that aircraft. [Doc. No. 18334, 54 FR 34294, Aug. 18, 1989, as amended by Amdt. 91-282, 69 FR 44880, July 27, 2004]"""""

Yeah, who the hell flies a helicopter right across the flight pattern of a major airport, or any airport. The AA flight was on final, that's the last place you want to interfere with

Oh, God that sounds bad. Those poor people

Yeah, I've got a couple of them too. I liked the purple with white letters. These new ones look cheesy

This was the kind of stuff we watched in grade school. We need to go back to showing kids stuff like this

Janka Scale Scores: Lignum Vitae =4,500 Hard Maple, Sugar Maple 1,450 Lignum Vitae is 3 times the hardest of Maple bearings and is self-lubricating. Maple bearings are currently impregnated with oil, grease, or wax that can’t match the lubricity or low friction that Lignum Vitae offers. If you are using Maple bearings as a screw, roll or conveying machinery bearing for agriculture try Lignum Vitae wood bearings and enjoy much longer life from the bearing, less downtime and better operation. I think I'm going to plant me a couple of these suckers so I can have bearings after the EMP, zombie apocalypse, collapse of the financial system

"New" B67ST - Not sure where to start
Joseph Cummings replied to Will100's topic in Introduction Forum
A set of 4.17 ratios (common in maxidyne 5 speed trucks) will give you 65MPH on like 10r20s or 11r22.5 But now you have to think if first is low enough. -
"New" B67ST - Not sure where to start
Joseph Cummings replied to Will100's topic in Introduction Forum
If that and the 5.73 are correct you are going to end up with 392 RPM at the wheel. Depending on tire size probably a few MPH +/- of 40 A "10R20" tire typically has around 497 revolutions per mile. -
Correct exhaust elbows
Joseph Cummings replied to BronsonA2150's topic in Exterior, Cab, Accessories and Detailing
Way too much flex. If I remember correctly, you are only allowed 18 inches -
Mack twin y suspension
Joseph Cummings replied to 2014pinnacle's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Looks like they are making nice dump trailer suspensions in China. I wonder how much with everything paid and delivered to my shop
