So I took the M818 out for a ride today after getting everything done. Went about .2 miles and the temp was at 240. Got her home. I have some ideas what might be wrong, I drained the coolant in Feb pulled out the dead mice in the coolant tank replaced thermostat and gasket all new fluid. I’m...
I have lots of 800 series parts left for sale they came off of a M818. Some are heavy and awkward to possibly ship. But if you see something in the pics you might be interested in message me and I can take more pics of that specific piece. If someone wants to drive to PA we can load a truck or...
Hi Valley Rock. Do you know what year Dodge truck it was off of? I want to do the same thing my old deuce hitch won’t fit because of the lights. I would buy the hitch if I knew which one. Just curious thanks
I got my horn fixed tonight it was either the horn button the rusty nut or the bad looking wire. My wife is really good at putting on those packard plugs. Here’s a question where does the wire that goes down the steering shaft come out at? I looked through the TM it shows the steering shaft but...
Hi guys I might have a buyer for my truck. I have some questions regarding part compatibility. M818 Radiator, starter and alternator will they fit on the M931a1 I’m assuming the starter will but sure of the alternator I’m doubting the radiator will but not certain. I got lots of body parts...
I changed the horn solenoid still no clunk or Horn. Pulled out the horn button being very careful not to deploy the airbag lol. The steering nut is all rusty I’m thinking a new nut and horn button might fix it if not I’ll get a hand held air horn.
Thank you. I’m only looking to haul my sxs around 2K pounds lol. I think it would be neat to take to local ATV rides . I’ll check out a couple of them you mentioned thank you
Hi guys can someone tell me a military flat deck trailer with ramps that would be a good fit for the 8118. I’ve been looking online the ones I see are for like 30 tons. I don’t need anything that heavy. Single axel would be fine 5th wheel or pintle don’t care. Just curious what you guys...
It probably would shake apart. Only way it’s doing 88 is on a trailer. There is a part number for the flux capacitor. Got it ready for memorial weekend
Thanks for the reply I will pass the info on. I did try the headlight and blinker fluid. Now they work backwards must have been old fluid. Maybe it’s the canooter valve or the heinsberg modulator that’s causing my horn issue
I got all the lights working. It was the relay thank you for the help . Now waiting on my horn module to show up. I hate to bring this up because it’s been mentioned in other forms. Has anyone ever installed 2” receiver hitch on a M818 or 900 series tractor? I have the Curt hitch I bought for my...
I got the head lights working lol it was the loose nut between the steering wheel and seat. No turn signals yet they get brighter when turned on but no blink. I checked voltage going to the blinker flash module im getting voltage to it. I ordered a new one. Installed the rear lights, and got the...
Hi guys I’m finishing up the 818. I seem to have a possible light issue. No turn signals or headlights. Now I do not have the rear lights connected is that why kinda like an open? My front markers light but don’t blink. Black out lights on markers work. But no headlights at all now I haven’t...
Hi guys I got a question will the PTO off of a M51 work on a M817? Wasn’t sure if the Multi fuel 5 tons transmission was the same as a 800 series. A friend of mines 817 the PTO broke off the transmission but he has a M51 and was curious if he could swap. I told him I would ask you guys. Thank you
Good morning. I installed the In cab heater in the 818. But I can’t figure out what to power the switch too what number the TMs I looked at didn’t show it. And the old truck wires were cut. I saved what looks like a 2 way splitters from the old truck. I don’t think I can just pick one and hope...
Hi guys after watching some videos and looking at TM, I got a question about my winch I have it installed on my truck M818 minus the drive shaft. I got the engage and drum lock to move. But with the drum lock out out and lever in the engage should the drum move backwards as to wind itself in if...
