    Soft Top repair or replace?

    So I have tested HH66 Vinyl glue with a scrap piece of tarp and vinyl siding trim. At first the bond was week but the piece I let dry over night was strong, took probably 15lbs to pull them apart. I believe I am going to use less rivets and glue the tarp and siding trim together and hope it...

    M923 Hard Top

    I have both in the 939 series, I agree that I like the soft top. That is until I give it some throttle then it gets too loud fast.

    Load out help Newcastle, DE and GL questions M923a2

    Does your PD have a fleet maintenance department? Could you convince one of them to go with you? Its always nice to have a chase car to spot problems like the smell of dragging breaks, why not a mechanic if one is available. You will have to schedule load out for the days they offer it, its...

    Load out help Newcastle, DE and GL questions M923a2

    Most trucks are not requiring an EUC these days, better double check. Pick up is 10 days after EUC if it is required. Pure Trip inspection is worth its weight, need to know if parts are missing or falling off, and if tires hold air, and if it runs. Good Luck.

    Soft Top repair or replace?

    I agree, searching is difficult a best. Proper titles help the most. Lots of links like the one you just added get over looked because of the title. I searched soft top and thumbed through many threads, probably overlooking the one you linked due to the title having nothing to do with soft...

    Soft Top repair or replace?

    In looking at the front of the M923 soft top, the corner is stitched down and has a snap that fits to the sides of the wind shield. I don't believe there is enough material to fold over a rope like the deuce tops.. I have a strip of vinyl siding and a can of HH66 vinyl glue, I'm hoping the...

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    My truck was a hard start because the fuel line was getting air in it. When it did start I would have to peddle down to get it primed and then once I let it idle it would surge up and down just like you describe. Also my truck runs great down the road. Here are some pics, my primer tube...

    I think there is something wrong with my 923A1 fuel pump....

    I meant to update on here the other day, I tightened the fittings associated with my plunger assembly and it fixed the problem. I also tweaked my fuel solenoid 1/4 to 1/2 turn as the motor wasn't wanting to shut down.

    M923 upgrade to M925 need advice

    School year starts August 8th, I'll be driving it to pick up my boy every other week. I've got a spare m923 that's a good runner I'll be selling soon cheap if you know any friends looking for one.

    Soft Top repair or replace?

    I tested with a small piece of vinyl I have left over for patch work, I used that and 1/4" nylon rope. 1) The windshield groove is going to require larger 3/8" or 1/2" rope to properly fill to gap. 2) The windshield groove appears to be too open at the bottom, allowing the rope to fold out...

    Soft Top repair or replace?

    Some good ideas here, I think I will try using HH66 vinyl cement and a piece of cord to fill the gap.. I'm hoping the vinyl cement will save the issue of sewing and having more holes in the vinyl. I'll post some pictures when I'm done, may take a few days for the HH66 to show up in the mail.

    Soft Top repair or replace?

    Not sure what this part is called, the plastic "C" channel on the front of the soft top that slides into the groove on the windshield and holds down the front of the soft top. This part is broken and brittle, the rest of the soft top is in good shape. Is this plastic part readily available...

    thanks to jedawson1

    Thanks, Maddawg. Here are some pics of her in her new home. I've already decided to take her down to the frame for rust proofing and new paint. My 5 year old is just about old enough to start handing me tools, and he can help bag and label the parts and bolts now that he has learned how to...

    Justification Help

    So, for now, I am changing my focus from finding just the right truck to finding a younger partner who has the omph and the skills I lack but may not have the dollars to indulge in this hobby. I can afford truck(s) and parts if I can find someone in my area who will work for less than shop...

    Gave my M923A2 a fresh paint job...

    What preparations did you do for this paint job, and what if any surface rust did you have to deal with?

    Plug missing in front of tranny on 923

    aua obligatory check the TM !! Though I am impressed he posted pictures of the item in questions which in the event of a real emergency would have made diagnosis much easier.

    M923 upgrade to M925 need advice

    Had my helper working on removing the PTO, he was able to remove it and get it moved to the other truck without shifting or removing the transmission. Said it was a pain but overall worth it to not remove the transmission. Both the 923 and the 925 have the 6" relief in the frame, if you stick...

    NH-250 Supercharged??

    Well now that debate is over I hope you make it to experimenting. I am hopeful that this proves successful. Wouldn't mind making this mod on mine if it works for you. Keep us posted, and don't pay attention to the nay sayers. You have the resources and know how to put this together, and to...
