Good to know that TM is on here, gonna need several frosty adult beverages and a couple hours of free time to dive into that one. Sure hope i don't have to pull the PTO itself, would be some pretty poor maintenance planning to require PTO removal to clean the screen. Not that getting the PTO...

Yeah, i read up on the oil. Thankfully 5 gallon buckets of rotella 15w40 are still somewhat reasonable on cost and i happen to keep a couple on hand anyway. Even for that it looked thin, not exactly a lab analysis but whatever. I did pull that plate, but just saw gears, guess you gotta reach...

OK, well its safely at the yard where i work. Was too damn tall for the landoll and had to call in a local lowbed outfit we use a lot. Was still 13 foot 2 inches on the lowbed so keep this in mind if you are thinking of dragging one of these home. On the day of loadout i started it up, let it...

Good to hear that all my reading was not in vain, i did retain something. I guess a deep dive into the TM's will be in order once its gets somewhere safe. Going to be towing it home anyway so it only has to move to get on the trailer. Worst case scenario a short slow drive to somewhere else on...

Entirely possible, very probable they are way out of adjustment. Didn't look at them much except to see that they released. Before it actually moves very much i'll certainly adjust them. They did do something though as it was dragging the engine down pretty good, just not enough to stall it.

Interesting, was definitely idling less than 1100, more like 500 and yet was pulling like a mofo. I didn't really intend for it to go anywhere with the brakes still on. Just wanted to see if it would drop the rpm a touch to signal it was doing something since it was listed as bad trans. Sounds...

Hey guys, its been a LOOONG time since i have been around.....again. Anyway, my bad influence of a boss clued me into a local auction with some trucks. Had a few 5 tons, a 915 and a trio of 917's. Simply could not pass up a 917 for what these were going for so.....yeah i bought one. Ran down...

There :smile: I will see what i can do about exhaust measurements (and perhaps a better pic) Need to move the truck for that as where its parked is not really conducive to crawling under it this time of year, too muddy. While i have not been actively seeking a buyer its on the to do list now...

I'm here....sorta. Will respond to PM's and email but just don't have the time to hang out on here like i used to. The GF is now the WIFE..... and the "plow deuce" didn't plow last year. Fix headgasket VS just hang the plow on the M35A2C = the plow went on the other truck. I think we tallied...

Hmm, he has some interesting taste in mods. Looking at those pics i can't see much of a fuel tank hiding under that bed. No toolbox and battery box is just plain odd and will make getting in any out unnessicarily difficult. Not to mention where the heck do you keep your supplies to keep this old...

Nice work, need to be doing the same myself shortly. Darned New England rusting issues.

Looks EXACTLY like the one on my LDS427, strangely enough i have the same turbo on my LDT465. Good turbos IMO, moves plenty of air, enough turbo sound to let you know its there but not make you deaf like a C will.

Well M16ty i guess that pic of "rangerdaves" truck above settles the overloading dispute, thats a LOT of logs on there. I knew he had a deuce log truck up here but never knew it was a m36 originally. Then again i don't think i have ever maxed out my truck with all the crap i can pile in the bed...

Wow blendmaster thats one heck of a portable tent you go there. A regular m35 is pretty roomy for impromptu camping expeditions but the m36 ****.

Its really not that bad. Been there and done that twice while lying in melting snow with water and oil dripping on me. Just read the instructions carefully and line everything up, triple check to make sure it all stays lined up too. There are some odd angles and some things that will make you...

Ditto on the DOT air brake line, was the only thing i could find around here that holds up to the odd variety of stuff i may dump in the tank. Currently only running the pieces from secondary to IP and return to filters but i see no reason why it wouldn't work for the whole run. Not particularly...

Mine generally likes to leak more oil when its particularly hot. It certainly was a scorcher friday with sat and sun being toasty too. The thermometer on my car read 102 on the way home at 3pm. Haven't really seen much more than a few drips from that drain though, rear main would be the likely...

Eh, you aren't really missing much. As long as the vent line ends up there somewhere you should be just fine.

One is for the master cylinder vent line, its recommended by a lot of folks to do away with that. So no worries on that one, the other, hmm, i can't recall off the top of my head but i'm sure someone knows.

That would not be correct, only a select few of the A2C's have the dual circuit brakes. Most of them being late series ex- AF trucks.
