    Any Missouri owners here?

    Tough you can download the forms online, DOR Form 551 must be purchased at your local motor vehicle license bureau. I believe the cost is $25 + $2.50 processing charge + additional charge if you use a credit card! Both the Form 551 and Form 5062 require sign off from a local motor vehicle...

    Any Missouri owners here?

    The fact that the vehicle is titled in another state will be beneficial. However, the VIN may still require verification with a Missouri Department of Revenue Form DOR 551 or DOR 5062 or BOTH! Check with DMV in Jefferson City for your specific vehicle.

    Fmtv crane maintenance manual, hydraulics specs?

    8madjack, To my knowledge, the LMTV (4x4) units were not fitted with a Material Handling Crane (MHC). There is a Light Material Handling Crane (LMHC) that is mounted on an upright post. The LMHC was mounted in the 4" x 4" square holes in the bed of the LMTV or MTV (6x6). The MHC, 5,000 lb...

    What is the name of panel of rotary switches that direct air to the cab, suspension?

    I had a leak in the switch manifold. Turned out to be the push button switch for the cab air bags (or air springs as listed in the Operator's Manual). All of the o-rings were available locally. Once the o-rings were replaced, everything worked fine. Photo of the switch I rebuilt: Here is...

    M1084A0 Crane Stalled

    I agree snowtrac. TM-9-2320-366-34-3, Section 16-7, Page 271, discusses removal of the hoses from the counterbalance valves. But, there is no discussion of bleeding. The only instances in the tech manuals I find of bleeding is in the fuel system. Nothing in hydraulics. The hoist motor...

    M1084A0 Crane Stalled

    I replaced some of the hoses on my M1084A0 Material Handling Crane. Lost about 2.5 gallons of hydraulic fluid during the hose replacement process.
