    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    Exactly....except I am so anal about cutting something I "might" need someday! Ha! I have been chewing on this all day and I the resolve will probably be to just cut it but not until I exhaust all resources on a storbought resolve.

    Schutt Industries 1CSL0-SLC-T-1000 Self Loading Trailer

    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...

    Lunette Ring Extension ?

    So I either have to cut off the Vertical Lunette Ring Mount welded to the trailer for clearance from the Roller to the Vertical Lunette Mount, or I need to extend the Lunette Ring or the pintle hitch itself. Are there any extensions that can be bought or am I fabricating? I kinda do not want...

    Schutt Industries 1CSL0-SLC-T-1000 Self Loading Trailer

    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...

    smoking batteries

    Are the batteries strapped down solid? Is it possible when you went for that cruz one or more of the batteries jumped up and caused issues? FWIW I have a Big Cam 400 in my M916 and w/ 2 Sears B-14 Batteries it starts FAST and it spins QUICK while doing it. Just 2 Sears batteries...

    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.

    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...

    Schutt Industries 1CSL0-SLC-T-1000 Self Loading Trailer

    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...
