yeah will have truck out this weekend at a steam rally so will take some up too date pics and post. martin

great pics but did notice this wrecker has a normal passenger seat like the deuce has but my 816 has a passenger seat just like the drivers one (2 single seats) ? can anyone tell me why this is or was it luck of the draw as to what you got? many thanks

i turboed my 250 back in march using parts from a 290 and have using it since with no probs. originally i used a temporary cross over and ovalled the tube so the bonnet would fit just to see how things went but since then i have fitted a larger cross over along towards the rear rocker cover and...

thanks for your reply, i blew thro the oil galleries with air and not sure but it may be slightly better but i did notice that the surface area of the cyl head below the rocker posts was certainly awash/wet with oil as if the oil flow was leaking around the rocker posts before it had time to get...

whilst driving to a show on saturday my LDT 465 1C motor started to make a strange squeak type noise from the rear upper end of the rear cyl head. On removing the rocker cover it turned out that the oil feed to lube the rocker assembly was minimal and the noise was one push running dry of oil in...

when i bought mine the clutch slipped and also dripped oil from bell housing, when i took it apart the crank seal looked ok but was actually spinning in the housing for it so i fitted new seal and lock tighted in and been ok last 8 years.Dont think gearbox input shaft has a seal think it has a...

ok drove the 816 for the first time and it definately will pull between 3rd and 4th high now( altho does sound cool going thro low box up top high) and it will hang onto its revs now and recover fine from 1000rpm.The exh note really whistles but most notably sounds ace when under load=a real...

yep have a 816

yeah it would of been dead simple to put air cleaner on the other wing but i wanted to keep the 809 series look as that big airbox mounted on the drivers wing is so distinctive!. to the cummins trucks.. shame the heater had to go but will work on refitting it somewhere later.. im not happy with...

here are some pics

hello, ive been watching jwallers post on his turbo fitment and today i finnished fitting one to my 816 and ran it for about one hour. the donor engine was a 290 with a holset turbo approx 85mm inlet and 120mm exh outlet. fuel pump had previously been tweaked a little. have made up piping to use...

picked up the 290 turbo motor last saturday and will swap turbo bits soon but did notice it also didnt have any external fixings in lower block for the piston cooler nozzles just the same as the 250, you could see where they would be but the block was not cast for them.. this leads me to...

thanks jwaller, that does make good sense so it is possible that this turbo mod used sensibly may not cause any problems. if the 250 was at say 20:1 compression to start with and turboed then it could be under some stress?. madsam this might interest you for in my cummins book they say that a...

?any more news on your mod jwaller, this is a interesting post as im about to by a 290 engine and want to swap over the turbo parts . ive spoken to a cummins man who says the turbo will drop egt,s so am i right in thinking that if one of the biggest problems the 250 suffers from is high egt,s...

the one in my 816 is a champion AG 2. the element which is wound into a coil and glows cherry red had broken so i repaired it by resoldering- i thought the solder would melt but desite numerous heat ups it seemed and still remains ok. definately should be connected to only one battery/12 volts.

looks very similar to one on my 816, mine has "YOST HOLLAND USA" cast into it.? does it have any markings

thanks all for this info, i have searched through 5 ton forum and found various pics showing the green but was confused about the yellow one as i was thinking "you have a camoflaged truck with a bright yellow(here i am) thing stuck on side but if there is a exemption for tactical trucks it...

firstly i would like to wish you all a very happy christmas from here in gloucestershire uk and every success in all you do next year. ive recently found the 2 oxy/aceteylene cyls for my m816 wrecker and can you please confirm what are the correct colours for them and which one is which colour...

data plate tells you to make sure troop seat are locked in before dropping sides down

when first drove the 250 cummins in the 816 i was sure about it especially after driving a m35 for many years but once you appreciate that its the gear spacing that is the problem and when towing if you accelerate up thro low transfer to 5th and then back to 4th high and 5th high it will pull...
