Spicer 4-speed shifting

[ol713]

Gary -

I would be more than happy to do such a video - IF I had a stick-shift coach to do it with!

Perhaps while at the Quartzsite rally in January I might be able to come up with a volunteer or two, and will try to get the three majors (Eagle, GMC, MCI) in the film, too.

In the meantime, Gary, watch again the video of Fred shifting the Scenicruiser I linked to earlier in this thread replying to Richard.  Pay particular attention to the timing as he shifts the coach.

Stay tuned?

FWIW & HTH. . .

Hi RJ;
      I plan on being at Quartzite with my MC-7 and a spicer.  Have been crunching
      gears for over a 100k miles.  Would like to see you at what you do.
                                               Merle.

Donald, unable to download above link without signing up for monthly prescription, Cliff I will take you up on that offer when you get the time.  I just don't want to pay for something monthly I have not had to use in years. RJ, I see where Merle can also use your help and hopefully you can.

Donald's link works for me Gary and I am not signed up there I just looked at complete manual

[Gary LaBombard]

You are so right Cliff, I did not scroll down to see the information, Dahhh,  Thanks, I will copy it after reading to see what I need. As always thanks  Just tried to download this, then you have to sign up to do that, So I will read what I need and hand copy I guess.  I'll Figure something out,

screen shots ?

[Gary LaBombard]

That is what I am doing Donald, I cannot do this for any typing though under the photos.  Maybe I am not doing the screen shots correct.  I am (Saving using the right hand click on my mouse) and it only copies the photos of something but not the explanations under the photos.  But a lot of good information so far, will finish reading and taking notes tomorrow.  The manual says to always double clutch and it is not necessary to drive the speed upward to the governor before shifting?  I plan to read it all over a couple of times, any newbies with a Eagle should read this.   Thanks again for the informative link, and if Donald can give me correct tips on taking screen shots that would help if it works.  I am still using Windows XP!!  I know, I am cheap to get new computer but too old to change now and my computer still works on most things.

XP should have a print screen function do it 1 page at a time damn I miss XP I cannot find a print screen on W's 10

Clifford, it's really simple.  Just do Alt/Print screen and the screen is captured to a clipboard.  It can then just be pasted to an email or a document.  Each time you do the Alt/Print screen command it deletes the previous one.  This is fine for me, but if you want to keep multiple print screens available you would have to download a program for that.  Apparently there are several.  On the downside, it does not seem to paste directly to this forum unless I am doing something wrong.

in W10 it is called snipping tool,on the taskbar search window type snipping tool.
open it then minus off it...right click on the icon and pin it to your task bar.

open and click new and go.
hover over the choices or click on them to see the clipping options.
basically dragging and then saving to a snip folder (like a photo or document folder)...
you can save as many as you want...make sub folders

[Lin]

Yes, that's definitely better than just using print screen since it offers more control of what is copied and makes it a savable file.  However, if you do not save the snip, it seems to be just saved on the clipboard and deleted the next time the feature is used.

I am including a link a friend introduced me to a few minutes ago to be used on old computers I guess like mine.  Here it is, I haven't used it only on a test so far but wanted to give you guys a chance to have it also and maybe it will help copy things like I am trying to do.
Here is link:http://www.tntscreencapture.com/

Here are the steps I was told to use after downloading TNTscreencapture:
Here are the steps:
1.     Open the TNT Screen Capture program.
2.     Open Word.
3.     Open the Eagle Driver's manual (or whatever you want to copy from.)
4.     Press Ctrl-0. You should then now a large crosshair on the screen.
5.     Left-click and drag a box around whatever you want to copy. Then release the left button. You should now have a box around what you want to copy.
6.     Hold the Ctrl button, and then left-click the mouse inside the box. You'll hear a camera shutter sound, and the clip will be copied into the TNT program, which will automatically get the focus.
7.     Select Edit->Copy from the menu, OR simply press Ctrl-C. That will copy the clip.
8.     Go to Word.
9.     Right click the mouse and select Paste, OR simply press Ctrl-V. That will paste the clip into Word.

This sure turned into thread drift.

[Gary LaBombard]

Yea, sure sorry about that, I take the blame, hard to stay on one subject at times when actually two or more are intertwined.  Enough I guess on my part of trying to get information and pass it on. I"M DONE!

boo hoo.
the OP seems satisfied with his need.
others benefit too.
