However you decide to hook the chains, always run the hook through and back up to whatever it hooks to. This way, even if the chain becomes slack, gravity will keep the hook hooked.

If you have another switch, try that first. They have been known to give some trouble.

I wish our town were so frugal. I can remember when I was a kid, they had an old surplus Power Wagon that could do anything. Now all they have is new Peterbuilt trucks. I wonder who pays for them?

I don't think you could push the bulb back into the housing. However, I know that you can crack the bulb by tightening the screws too tight.

Feel around on the boot. It probably has a split in it.

Check your mounting bracket on the headlight. You may be cracking the bulb when you tighten down the mounting screws.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I finally figured it out. It is not very clear in the manual, but there are bushings and seals on either side of the steering knuckle so that it is totally isolated from everything else. The gear lube has to go through two seals to reach the wheel bearings, but...

I just pulled the spindles off of our M37 to replace the inner greese seals. One of the steering knuckles was packed with greese while the other just had a little gear oil in it. Shouldn't these be oiled from the differential?

Not always a new meter. Sometimes they just can't get it to run, so they sell it. I've seen two generators like that.

You might swap out the LDT for the LDS.

I had a friend pull my 816 with his deuce. I stayed in the 816 to apply the brakes and help with steering, if needed. The difference was that my 816 was running. I had just dropped a drive shaft and it wouldn't go.

Now you need to stripe the block

I believe I read that the 900 uses the same black box as the 800. It will definately cause the symptoms you describe.

The first thing I ever towed was another wrecker. Granted, it was a gasser. However, I lifted the front and pulled it up a twisting hill with no problem steering. But I didn't use the tow bar. I just had it swinging from the wiffle tree (I never got out of the driveway). I wonder if that...

I've found that the biggest problem when working on these trucks is that some private worked on it first. We usually assume that everything is hooked up correctly when we get the truck. From my expierence, this is not always the case. Sometimes it takes a lot of head scratching to figure out...

If you had them in parallel, you could not be getting 24v. It does look like they are in parallel, and from what you have said, they are in parallel, but you also keep saying that you have 24v. Are you sure it's 24v, or is it 12v?

I like the 5 tons myself. I have the 1600's on mine and I really can't tell the difference in power. I know it makes a lot of difference on the deuce when you go to bigger tires, but I'm hauling 36,000 lbs with my 816 and I didn't notice a difference in the power.

I have a lot of parking brake parts: springs, nuts, shoes, bushings. The nuts are 7/8" flat to flat, with a 3/8" fine thread tapped hole and are tapered on one end.

I used the John Deere chain and cable lube about a year ago. The cables sit out in the open and still don't show signs of rust.

I have the wheelchair charger. I figure I can always use it for my wheelchair when I get too old to drive my MV. Actually, it will charge four dead 6tl's overnight.
