Welcome to the club! :-) If you find any facts dump it here!

STARTER; The starter was modified by SWP. (The Co that put together the Engine assembly) There is a little indentation they cut into the flange for clearance. That was not done at HI TORQUE Starters. So if you order a NEW starter you will be filing. New is almost $300.00 , you can send your...

If you have an M916 I started a Lunette Ring Extension thread HERE . And I edited my post above changing the model number for the starter as in further discussions w/ HI Torque folks they realized these were a special deal they made for Perkins and gave me the right number. The wiring diagram...

The engine model type 'GH' is a 403D-07 engine I am told by PERKINs.

Turns out the Mfg of these starters is right around the corner from me. They returned an email telling me they sell direct and they rebuild as well, of which I am sure I will do the later. I can tell these guys will be good to deal w/. I have seen others speak of them in a good light on the...

Awsome Job! yes, no need for the guides now and if you used 2x6 the wood is now higher than the metal runners and it will not work as intended anyways. It will probably work but your going to be dragging the can on wood, the GUIDES rollers will quickly make an indentation on the wood I bet...

As you know on either side of the front of the bed is a latch that keeps the bed secure in the full down position. What you probably have not noticed if that latch is WIRED. I pulled the protective sheet metal covers in that area looking at what that shielded wire was for and there it is. It...

I think this is our trailers being born...

OK I found a picture showing the GUIDES as I call them in use. I was correct on my last assumption, you can see, albeit blurred that these connect to the container, rollers down, loops in and you connect the chains to the loops.

Believe it!

PS, I am not trashing SCHUTT Industries "AT ALL" . There products are simply beautiful. Just calling a spade a spade in the holding water deal.

Under the Bellhousing is a hydraulic pressure valve of sorts. It has a couple of VERY SMALL and totally inadequate drainage holes. There are some tiny shells in there, as in shells from a body of water. They plug those holes! I drilled in several .4" or so drainage holes and all is well now...

Here is a picture of the label on what I would call the bellhousing. Looks like the bellhousing and perhaps the pump is a Kubota. I wish the whole deal was Kubota but the good part is a guy could probably easlity swap in a Kubota 3-banger like out of a BX25 if this Perkins turns into a Pukeins.

The gladhand air lines should be disconnected at the front of the trailer and use an air hose and blow the spider egg nests out. The air tank on the trailer should be flushed as well. So far so good w/ mine for trailer-ability. All air bags inflated and all LED lights work. Looks like a...

I took another look at those GUIDES this AM and I may have been wrong in my assumption. I now think they may actually mount Vertically and are to ease the transition from the container flat on the ground to the bed tilted in such a manner that the rollers actually touch the DECK and not the...

I will be backing mine into its hole today, if someone has time please take a look at this PDF and try to determine just what motor we have, if possible. This PDF may be one less we have to buy. Rayzer, It is a hair bigger than a 20' shipping container. Julian, You raise it to offload...

I just received my trailer yesterday, shipped to me to L A. INCREDIBLE! These things are awesome. $77K the DOD paid for them! I wrote Perkins and asked for all literature. They may charge for it, I saw prices that might make it all $150.00. If someone buys it all I would happily share $ if...
