  1. 600 is a generic model description. A CH613 has 2 drive axles and 1 steer axle (6 X 2 chassis), a CH612 has 1 drive axle and 1 steer axle (4 X 2 chassis). The same rules apply to most newer models.

    I don't mean to say the chassis is generic, a CH600 is just a general description of the chassis series.

    The first number in the model indicates frame type. 600 is a highway frame, 700 is vocational/construction frame, 400 is light duty frame.

    The second number indicates engine manufacturer. 1 is Mack, 2 is Renault, 3 is Cummins, 4 is Detroit, 5 is Caterpillar

    The third number indicates the total number of axles.

    I think they started using this model system sometime in the 1980's and continue to use it in a slightly modified form today. This method of model identification only covers some chassis. The R, RB, RD, RM, DM, U, MB, MC, MR use a different method of ID where the first number identifies the chassis series and the second and third identify the engine.

  2. Thrawn,

    if it's binding every 90 degrees look at the u-joints in the steering column, if it's every 180 degrees check the timing on the steering shafts. Another place that sometimes causes a bind is the carrier bearing on the steering shaft.

    Here's a bulletin that may help. The information is specifically for a CV chassis, but the principles should carry over.

    And another thing, is that a baby smoking a pipe or a leprechaun?

  3. Decided it was time to knock down the remainder of the garden yesterday, but the roto-tiller just bounced off the ground. I soaked the garden for a couple of hours and went back at it with more success. Along the way I must have disturbed this cuddly little feller, cause he was awful bewildered when I took these pictures

    Ernie, I don't know if there is another way to do it (I don't see the old button to add media), but I was able to add a video to my gallery by doing this:

    Click the "Gallery" button at the header along the top of the screen

    post-6084-0-71373800-1319347674_thumb.jp

    On the next screen click the "Upload" button to the far right side

    You should be on the page for uploading media to your gallery, select either to create a new album or add to an existing one.

    Once you do, a dialog box will pop up. Enter the information in the fields, don't forget to select a Parent Album, make sure to make it a Public Album so everyone can see it, and click the save button.

    You will now go to a new screen where you can upload your video.
