[USMC Gunny]

I came across this abandoned truck while out plowing roads the other day after a snow storm. Looks like he was doing donuts and caught a curb, sheared off at the axle. Not where Id park my $120k truck.

Money can't buy brains.

Link to your wisdom or not?

USMC Gunny we're gonna need pics of that plow truck.

Im going with boons on this one. His math checks with grimms calc

Online Calculator? Calculating MPH or RPM for Gear Ratio & Tire Size is one of the first formulas I memorized as a gearhead kid. Engine displacement was the 2nd.

MPH = (RPM * Tire Diameter * 60 * Pi) / (12 * 5280 * Gear Ratio)
RPM = (12 * 5280 * Gear Ratio * MPH) / (Tire Diameter * 60 * Pi)

32" Tire, 4.10 Axle, 4.10 T-Case and 5.13 First @ 60MPH = 54,350 RPM.

correct. My math, with some rounding
32"*pi*(1ft/12inch)=8.37' per rev
60mph*(1hr/60mins)*(5280ft/1mile)=5280feet per min
5280f/m/8.37f/r=630r/m
Crawl ratio=86:1*630rpm
54,320rpm.

I am going to guess that it says Deere on the hood.

That will be a letdown. I was thinking hopefully something like this

 

[crispins]

if you read the thread i posted on this accident you might know. or not.

I did read it but I think I must have gotten distracted by the horrific pictures as I did not see what caused it.

Any chance your mightyness could give the 2 sec clift notes on the cause?

No, hood looks like my old mans JD 6430, but that hood styles on a lot of models

It was a Willys designed engine, and there was a reason it was only run for 3 years here

Probably the same reason I've got a 351 instead.

2nd plowtruck pics!

Meh, Jeep had a OHC inline 6 in the early '60s.

Back in day, there was an old Jeep w/the Dauntless motor (V6) in the junkyard. It was there for years & nobody brought it-

Yeah no shit. If yould have read the rest of the thread yould have seen a couple posts down when i not only acknowledged said mistake but recalculated and proved that he was correct.

So late to the party and jumping the gun. Good job

Yea, not super cool, but pretty damn useful.

6430, nailed it

Fuck 'em its super cool, useful for just about everything.

I think the corollary to "It's not stupid if it works" applies-

"If it's useful, it's cool."

Was there a gravel patch involved?

I like that back blade. Does it have hydraulic adjust for camber as well?

there is a hydraulic cylinder right there in plain view

Good thing you are here too, as he asked about hydraulic camber adjustment, not toe (which is visible). :rolleyes:

same as asking if the blade on the other end has hydraulic adjustment,

 

[SomeGuyFromOlympia]

BAM!

bam? that is all you got?
Not even an insult or something funny?
