Shocking as it is Napa had an oil filter for the 109 in stock. Drained the oil from it and the oil came out pretty clean. Well not clean but not a lot of trash came out with it. Put an oil pressure gauge in it and it's running 40psi at idle.

The blue tip wrench does speed things up a bit.

Cattlerepairman I thought about what you said and it makes good sense. I'm going to see if I can get an oil filter for it and change the oil. If anything fishy comes out I'll pull the pan. Does anyone have the napa cross over part number for an oil filter it's not in the list of common filters...

Wouldn't you like to park that beast in your front yard and see what the neighbors think.

You know the old saying they just don't make them like they used too. I can attest to that being the truth. When I got my M35 about 8 years ago I also got an M109 radio truck with the gas engine. The guy said he had it for about 15 years but never heard it run. It had been sitting in the woods...

Well it looks like I'm going to have to go into the tcase. I finished putting all the torque rods and rear drive shaft back in so I decided to take it for a drive around my yard. While driving forward I kept getting a loud bang and the truck would jolt. I pulled the front drive shaft and I could...

I'm missing one leg from my 5 Ton myself.

So good new bad news. The threads on the 2.5 ton are just shy of 1 3/4 and the threads of the 5 ton are just shy of 2 1/4 so there is no using the threaded part from one to the other. The good news is the overall outside of the pipe is about the same on both trucks. So you could put a complete 5...

If you need to remove an axle for an M108 the out rigger are real handy. The rear drive shaft was missing when I got the truck and I was already changing the torque rods so I figured why not just roll the axle out to make beating the torque rods out easy. Made knocking the frame ends out a snap...

A Cat with an Alison behind it would be fun. The guy that sold me the M816 was trying to sell me a v12 Detroit engine and a HET transmission to put in it. That would be a monster.

I'll give that a check. I just hooked everything up the way it was when I got it and figured it must be right. Also I was corrected, what I have is an M816 not the M936.

Well it looks like I'm going to have to let my M108 go to fund a new project I just purchased. That being an M936 5 ton wrecker. The M936 is missing its engine and trans plus a few other things but I couldn't pass up the deal I got on it.

Man that looks good.

The joys of working with a 66 year old hydraulic system. I replaced the steel line and the rubber line for boom up and everything works.....But and there is always a but. The cylinder for boom up has started leaking from the head nut. Has anyone removed the main cylinder on a 108? Trying to...

Glad to see it getting rescued. Are you going to run the gas engine or swap it over to a multi fuel? If your keeping the gasser I have a running gas engine and a good front clip if your interested.

Looking good. Is that a tank I see sitting in the back ground?

You can really tell the boom is bent when the extension is out. I removed all the outriggers to free them up and found something fun. It looks like they bent two of the outriggers so they cut the 1/2 inch wall pipe off and replaced it with some 1/4 wall pipe. Because that will work right? :roll:

SUCCESS. I hooked up my new line and checked the function on all controls. It had to whine a little while fluid was being sent to places it hasn't been in years but all functions are working. Well they where until one of the steel lines for the boom raise popped a pin hole in it. I'm going to...

Here what the fitting looks like. I got it from Hydraulic supply company. The part number from them is 2024-16-16s. They said they have four stores in Georgia so there might be one near you.

The fittings in the control box are standard fittings you should be able to get at any hydraulic supply shop. The control block uses NPT threads I think it's consider 1 inch NPT. So you just need NPT 90 degree to JIC fittings. I'm going to get some tomorrow and I'll get you a part number.
