  1. As far as I realized a series parallel switch has two groups of contacts. Those ones it connects to make 24 volts are heavy ones. The other pair are smaller and designed to hold a battery charge current only. So as I figured out the said above you can use the big set of contacts in relay to switch on your starter. As just a switch, no series function. The other set of contacts shows no need.
  2. Don't worry about that Tom. Some day at some point some dozer sure will be yours. I too wish it will be on your trailer, not elsewhere
  3. Good luck on the project, would be nice to see progress.
  4. I think it makes sence to put a gun in a safe with a lock when you don't have it by your hand. Might needed to make a safe right under a cushion of a bed some ones sleep in
  5. As for BTR-80 I see nothing extraordinal since when you get stuck any vehicle is good enough to help. If it's heavy enough. From watching the movie and seeing the signal guy I think the truck carried some cargo wich destination was the military base BTR and the crue came from. Just too much of action. If you imagine the truck driver just stopped BTR asking a help they (I too suppose) would like to help, maybe for some wadges. But I doubt hard they would have any signal flags on board
  6. Shure they do have them flashing lights. And it seems too strange that the train appeared there that fast. Usually two-three minutes in real. I'd say something is amiss with the movie. Although our life is full of unexpected surprizes so who knows... The driver might not left the cross breaking the boom just being afraid breaking the law. Hope he was Ok being in the cab.
  7. Thanks Jim, this does work fine.
  8. This link doesn't want to work by some reason.
  9. Wow! Now the deal looks 50% done. I will probably go a hoggish way and order two sets. Surprized seeing so many ebay options. Have spent more than an hour there but haven't seen a half of what you posted. Thanks again.
  10. Thanks a lot. I rifled through ebay but haven't found any blue ones. It looks though like my truck differs a bit from yours. All my 3 knobs seat on 3/8 shafts and at least the red and the blue have the shoulder along the edge like the blue one you found. (The yellow's are gone on the both R's I have). My R-models are of 1988 so it may be related to that. I found a couple of yellow from Midland wich look right but can't count out the shaft size. They're KN20901 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Haldex-Midland-KN20901-Yellow-Diamond-Parking-Brake-Knob-for-Push-Pull-Valves-/171772641070?hash=item27fe727f2e:g:KAkAAOSwPgxVQVFC&vxp=mtr and KN20903 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Midland-Parking-Brake-Pull-Knob-Part-KN20903-/141883504579?hash=item2108ea77c3:g:tjwAAOSwf-VWaI0A&vxp=mtr
  11. If anybody put part ## of all three knobs (and of the both 1/4 and 3/8 styles) on here it would be too appreciated. I'd like to have all 3 knobs new in the cab since some of them are broken and some have the scripts gone.
  12. Those high firs along the snowy road are great. We have something like that overhere but not everywhere. This shot was made about 4 years back when I cruised some local road right after really hard snow storm. Somewhere near Latvia border, 300 km North and 500 km West from Moscow.
  13. You're right, I should post more. But the central part of the country where I live is generally flat and not interesting. And I don't drive much. I love mountains being born and grown on the flat.
  14. Eye catching scenaries!
  15. As said above. I purchased the 36" set and still figure out the length to go with. And the flaps are still on the shelf
  16. Non-smokers keep their health. Keeping a health well worth extra sometimes
  17. Until now I was shure Ed didn't look that way... And excepting Winfall staff I can remember the only our member once pictured that style - Olivetroat. As for the above picture I see nobody wearing a tin hat.
  18. The submarine garage is a cool thing, I'd build exactly the same if I ever start fixing submarines. Nice sunrise shots. Don't know though what did you feel making them since whole the king size sammich was gone in the evening before. The old truck picture is sure worth to be posted on here. The bumpers are outstanding
  19. That's one cool video, thank you for sharing.
  20. Thanks a lot Jim. Will try to find one, had no luck in the past.
  21. What's about one to fit 3/8 shaft? Has a roll pin either.
  22. It would be cheaper indeed when current sidewalk cleaners will take crap off for free.
  23. No images?
  24. Fresh paint together with new bumper makes it look great. What did they do with the frame?
  25. Sounds like a plan. I think I should drill when a stud is in its place to align the holes. That way the steel shouldn't be extra hard to allow drilling. Hope no need in securing the nuts, I put liquid seal on every bolt and nut.
