Important

Picking up a Woodward Fab Pipe bender and dies for 3 sizes of round pipe and 1 size square... Went with it cause I forgot that the money I'm trying to use can only buy items up to $300 per item, anymore and its considered 'curriculum equipment' and not eligible... Bender $299, dies all $100-250... I should be good... :D
 
It's a 10mm. I had mine out Saturday night.

While you are at it, put a new bolt in, bolt grade must be ISO PC 10.9 or 12.9, I forget which. Preferably, the unthreaded shank will be long enough that there is only a thread or two between the nut and the unthreaded shank when it's fully tightened.

12.9, IIRC. A 10.9 hardness 10mm bolt will shear before you get to the spec'ed 75 ft/lbs torque.
 
Ok, so I lied. Drove the jeep to work on Monday to check everything for leaks and op temps. Stopped for gas and it wouldn't start. Left it on base overnight and threw my spare starter in it. Drove it home today.

At this rate, I'll have a new heep before October.
 
Should put a real transmission in it, then you can just remember to park on a slope and never need a starter again :gee:

My starter croaked at a gas station on the way to the junkyard yesterday, so I pushed it, jumped in, dumped the clutch and started it up, drove to the junkyard, bought everything else I went there for, didn't buy a starter, bump started it off a hill I parked it on, then got all the way home and parked it on another hill. I could keep this up for a while, but I have a spare starter on a parts jeep so I'm going to throw it in tomorrow morning.
 
oh, I know. I'm not suggesting it as a permanent solution, just saying if he had a real transmission, a starter failure would be a minor inconvenience instead of a real breakdown :spin1:

As a friend of mine says... army corps of engineers, making flat land curvy and curvy land flat since 1775!

He ran a 20 ton dump in Iraq, iirc.
