Thanks... Doghead, I haven't had time to fix the carrage bolt jambed under the air cyl yet.. Your black lab looks like one I had as a kid... good dogs...loyal to a fault and hard to see at nite when your stumbling your way to the outhouse

Found part of the problem. The cariage bolt has rattled loose enough to fall below the piston on the bimbi cyl. The bimbi cyl tip is threaded, is there a special end that needs to be there, cant really tell from the pics???

Thanks for the pics..... Ok,, I don't recall seeing any air cylinders near the Inj Pump. Just a bunch of cables or push/pull sleeve wire style cables, and a few old return springs. just whats in your first pic So I guess that part got scrounged some time back. I will look on the truck tonite...

First MV- 1970 Kaiser M816 thankfully the guy I got it off of picked it up personally at Salt lake and sold it to me with all the goodies in the boxes. Two wiffle trees ground spades chains, snatch blocks, pioneer tool kit, tire changing tools, and a couple things Im still scratching my head...

Good luck with your 816 [thumbzup] I roaded mine back from western CO to North eastern WY back in Oct. handiest tool in my inventory yet. Pulled and loaded a few engines and installed a 6' diameter Well service pit to name a few jobs. Remember check the parking brake shoes on the T case...

Thanks Ron. any idea of the model numbers on those narrow Spicers? did some digging around this morning and kept coming up with twin counter shaft late model spicers.

Ok, been searching on here for a few days and keep finding hints that someone or a group of someones have successfully installed OTR trannys of the Eaton Fuller family into their MVs. (disclaimer) I am not looking for speed, just the ability to utilized the axle gearing while trimming RPMs I...

I just got my shoes relined for about $100 at a local brake supply for big rigs, had to order the two springs from Eriks or any of the other suppliers on here. don't toss the shoes themselves as they are permanently discontinued and are hard to come by.

Made it back ok, 600 miles and 5 miles per gallon, average speed was 50 once I climbed out of Rifle Co. Just kept the revs below 2200 and the temp below 200, got down to 25mph on a couple hills. I was really wishing I had my 18spd or at least the old 10 spd trans that I run in the...

made it back ok, 600miles 5 miles per gallon, average speed 50mph, hit 60 a couple times on a downhill with a tail wind.... Popped a hole in the main air hose, but it was holding air good while running thus fixed when I got home. Runs good, seems to have had an overhaul in 89 and been sitting...

Thanks for the advice guys. Modified the tow dolly with a second tongue for the pintle on the 816 last nite, looks goofy but the yota will ride behind the 816 now. Got a co-driver going with me for help with the heavy lifting and driving. As of now the plan is to leave here on sunday nite and...

another product that we use with semi's is Equal, (not the sugar substitute) comes in a bag and looks like crack. works on tubeless tires by finding the low spot under centrifigul force. another product is a balancer ring that goes inside the tubeless tire, looks like a big plastic doughnut...
