Thanks gents.....I’ll run the truck as is. I brought the heater core in.....waiting on the cost (seems anything in the aftermarket was made of aluminum, cheaply made). Bob

I was on YouTube looking for videos of possible repairs of this.....came across your site. Amazing what you’ve done with your truck and trailer! I considered an M548 last year.....will definitely call if I ever go that route! Bob

I failed to notice the rivet in the top of the clamp....not as easy of a fix as I thought! Have you guys found a way to fix these without a full leaf spring replacement? Thank you Bob

Gents, Was doing a little work on the 925 (pulled leaking heater core to fix, hit all the grease zerks, topped off fluids)....and noticed this: Broke this particular clamp on both sides (bolt is still in there, just pinched.....looks like it sheared at the head). Thoughts on cause? I use...

Added a 62 Gallon Transfer tank/storage box to the genset over the past weekend. I had been looking for a pick up bung to use on the tank and remembered the genset came with one! (along with a screw in copper tube). Modified the tube to about 1/2” from bottom of tank, ran the hose (also came...

Welcome from Chicago!

Excellent advice! Having done 17 hour semesters (Engineering), working to pay tuition (many years ago when tuition was under $10k/year, minimum wage was $3.35/hr)....buy a beater for a daily driver, graduate.....then treat yourself to road worthy 5 ton.

RangerBob......thanks for the contact at MN outdoors.....I've refurbished most of my SW48 parts, just starting to put her back together.

When I was flying R/C , I would rent a u-haul truck whenever I took the c-130 to fly (it had a 132" wingspan). I could fit it in a Town & Country, but I usually broke something....it was just to big. Its amazing where R/C aircraft are now.....the ARF and RTF electrics make the building...

Welcome! To Wes's comment, these "toys" always look better in pairs.

Welcome!

I'll go with lift point, make or "surplus" a spreader bar......not sure I have a strap big enough for an undercarriage lift (that is one big strap!). Thank you.

Bend the frame? Wow! I'll remove the bed, take a look at the lifting point between the tires (I remember seeing an open ring there) and take a look at the manual to be safe. Thanks for the pics!

Thanks Wreckerman and Simp5782. The bed on the 925 could use a good refurbish.....good time to address that. I'll try this over the next few weeks, report back with pictures.

Hi FloridaAKM Set it down in the grass, then gently rocked it forward. The beauty of these pick and carry cranes.

Gentlemen, I've recently finished a 3 + year refurbish on an old Galion 150A crane. I'm in the final stages of "break in" on all the repairs....and need to do a heavy lift (15 tons). Our trucks weigh just under that, but looking at the lifting points in the rear.........not sure of a good way...

I think I saw your post Gimp.....what shut you down? I believe you used a wet kit to verify you were good, just needed a motor.

Been working on this crane for the past 3 years, rebuilt from top to bottom (even ran into Gimp on another forum!). I have some small things left, a re-repair on a hydraulic manifold seal, but all in all.....just about there! I needed some weight to lock in the cable wedge into the block, so...

Yep, contact JBL (Jeff)....top notch guy, helped me 3 times there.

Rotella T1 straight 40 , CF-2, is what I use in my 453N. I called O'reillys and had them order 2 cases (3 gallons in each)....took about a week to receive. I did an out of frame rebuild a year ago, completely to spec (except for a journal that was .0004 under, ok for my application considering...
