Artisan's M916 ENGINE FAILURE
Where do I start? I will be semi brief.
Left N Idaho w/ the M916 a coupe days ago bobtail.
Truck was running AWESOME, smooth, no vibrations,
tracks straight down the road, life is good. I want to
get home and fly to Columbia and help a friend plumb
his home...
Well it's an A1 w/ 1400R20's so looks lke were pushing the envelope.
Understand the front tires will go past the front edge of the trailer a smidge,
there is a 4" x 4" piec of angle iron that is adjustable at the front sooooo...
THANK U Simp!
Hmmm, so if I have a 20' long tilt trailer deck it will be cutting it close
I assume w/o some semi - serious math work.
THANK U Gringel...
(Capacity is 27200 pounds.)
My 5 Ton is in Idaho, I am in L A.
The book says an M925A1 has a wheelbase of 179" .
I am correct that dim is from center of front axle to center of Rearmost axle yes?
So if tires are 49" in diameter the dimension from the front of
the front tire to the rear of the rear tire would be 19'...
Cat 7155 Ratio Selector Mod

Guys is there anyone close to me in Los Angeles w/ ANY air brake truck
that can move an unladened air brake trailer that probably weighs 5ton
or so from Ontario, CA (Holt Ave) to Monrovia? I am a buyer.
I think it is about 26 miles.
Both my trucks are up by Spokane at the moment.
Edit;
DONE...
I suggest you contact Dave at Easternsurplus.
If those rims are incorrect he will have what
you need and maybe better tires. They can
mount and ship easy peasie.
Tell him I sent you.
SO I got 4500 miles on the new steer axle tires before they showed serious wear
on the outside edges, both PS and DS. I am considering move the left tire to the right
side and the right to the left, maintaining directional rotation to get another 4500
mile of use. Does anyone have a better...
Hey guys I am away from home w/ limited resources. I have a need to move my Schutt WITHOUT it connected to the truck. In a nutshell I left it parked on a dirt road over the winter and crazy rains caused the trailer to sink. I got the M916 out by airing down and laying out some plywood. The...
It is sincerely a crying shame that the owners of this forum, after
multitudes of special requests from it's members, that said owners
have not yet created a forum for the 20Ton Trucks. I do NOT care
about the helicopters and black ops and senators and other CRAP
that THEY brought down upon...
There is an oil pressure safety switch.
The oil pressure HAS to come up before the engine will start.
Read this whole thread about injector pumps needing to be massaged
as well. The first batch were flooded at one time were found out.
If yours was in that batch you will have many of the same...
I have never measured the angle but it really gets up there.
In post #2 in this thread you can see an almost fully extended
hoist. I bet ya it is more like 40*
These trailers are AWSOME, the potential is huge on all fronts.
Paul,
The mission I bought the trailer for is now complete. It will have other missions
in the future. It performed well. I did have a radiator failure as I believe I penned
about herein, and I suffered a broken weld on one of the triangular shaped
chain to container attachment device. The...
