    I bent both front spindles on my 1972 135 moving dirt

    They dont look bent in the photo. I have a 202 and the spindles are stout. Making the front end stronger won't help you. How are the thrust bearings in the spindles?

    Only because the State DOT limits weight per axle. They can move that crane with the suspension locked, the boom retracted and locked, and with weights hanging. Obviously there are limits to movement.

    Axel weight limit for the DOT. We call it a dolly.

    It looks like a 700 ton Liebherr. The daily rental probably isn't as much as you think, not counting the oiler and at least one operator. In Philadelphia, a 500t is probably about 60k for one 8 hr day. Not including road closures. This price would include the permits, transportation, one...

    Using plastigage on main bearings

    If it were me trying to measure to the ten- thousandth: Clean all surfaces, ratchet strap the crank to the block, leave the plasti-guage long and tape it to the outside of the cap, and torque (or near) the mains.

    MF 135 clutch trouble

    I rebuilt the Z134 engine in my 202 last Fall. New to me block. The starter nose cone was interfering with the flywheel? I don't remember. Some quick work with a grinder solved the issue. I understand you situation is a bit different, but it might be worth loosening the starter to rule it out.

    Hydraulic cylinder scratches and pits

    Rods are typically lathe cut, spray welded, lathe cut, ground, and then plated. I had a dump cylinder rod "ground and re chromed" and the cylinder repacked 3 or 4 years ago. The rod was 1.875" x 31". The cost was $1k. The reason I took this route is the other cylinder was/ is fine, the rod is...
