    Air pushing out hydraulic fluid M925 converted dump truck

    It's still at the mechanic's. I'll do more digging when I pick it up and get back to you. Thanks for the remote diagnostics.

    Slow. I take that back. There was one time it came down hard a few feet and then caught and then came down slowly.

    Air pushing out hydraulic fluid M925 converted dump truck

    I've attached pictures of the additional reservoir that was added with the dump. The mechanic said the pump works to raise the cylinder to full extension. He said he checked and there is hydraulic fluid at the top of the lift cylinder. When you attempt to drop the bed, the hydraulic fluid spews...

    You seem to know your stuff. Is replacing the pump something you think a novice could do? How would you relate t he degree of difficulty?

    Man I appreciate it. That is so much more reasonable than I feared. You are great for sharing the link.

    Air pushing out hydraulic fluid M925 converted dump truck

    Last time I raised the bed on my M925 it blew out a lot of oil when I lowered the bed. It is a converted dump truck with a PTO driven winch on the front. I'm going to sell it but was hoping someone here could give me an idea what a rebuilt pump would cost. The pump is what my mechanic said it...

    Searching for U-Joints

    Searching for U-Joints

    I have a 1986 vintage M925A0 that was converted to a dump bed. It’s currently with a mechanic who told me it needed two new U-Joints. I believe him because of the thunk when it downshifted. I sent him the links from sponsors of this site and he’s checking. So far, no luck. Any idea of the best...

    Throttle "searching" changing RPM

    I have a M925 A0 American General truck that I love. I have a question about the throttle. I've searched the TM's and didn't see an answer. Perhaps someone here can help me stabilize the throttled RPM. The problem is this. I twist the throttle counter clockwise a bit, pull it out to the desired...

    Getting the right paper technical manuals

    That helped a lot. I need a -20 to help work through any issues that come up like the most recent one with the transfer case interlock solenoid. Thanks for y our help.

    Getting the right paper technical manuals

    Would you buy the operator's manual, or one of the others?

    Getting the right paper technical manuals

    I have downloaded the manuals on this site to try to become more informed about my 1983 vintage M925 A0. I sure prefer paper over reading computer screens for manuals. Can anyone point me to the most appropriate manuals in paper bound form? I'd print them out, except they are over 900 or so pages.

    M925 Over weight boo boo - Transfer Case Won't Engage

    The reason for wanting a 4 ton load was that this was my first trip using the truck and it had been sitting for years before I bought it. I wanted to make a trial run at the quarry and down my hill before loading up heavier.

    This worked! I need to read the TMs to understand why,but you saved me tons of time and money dude. Thanks.

    M925 Over weight boo boo - Transfer Case Won't Engage

    Today I took Gomer (my 925 A0) converted with a reinforced dump bed to the quarry to pick up a partial load of dirty base for our construction project. (Our driveway to the house site is steep and gravel truck drivers in the area are boycotting our build because of the decent.} Anyway, I hope...
