Welcome to the site, Hobby, Friendships, And Hopefully, The events to come. I quite understand the "Wanting to buy,,some..'THING"'!, Look at my new post.

It has always puzzled me why these trucks had such a system. A straight air system is far superior.

Interesting, Thank you for the video. Looks like a straight pull on all of them could have saved time and fuel though. I would just love one of those vehicles...But, I have (Another) 'Thing' coming on Thursday. My mates are going nuts (Again), As they believed I was (At Last?) Cutting down...

As 'ordered'. And Next month I am submitting....The..>new< "Thing"

None working low air warning not functioning prior? Now functioning?

Slipping as you go up the higher gears is worn out clutch. Try adjustment. If that fails change the assembly. I can line you up with people who have just completed that task. pm or email me.

It was standing a while. So, Take the center nut out of the Hydraulic Head, Rest with light pressure a small sound rod in the hole until it touches the top of the plunger, , We us a Philips screwdriver, Pull the stop lever while cranking the engine (Person two), And make sure the quill is...

That seems decent and well worth it set of modifications you have carried out.

Make sure the starter solenoid is not holding the starter in mesh? Replace the starter with a different type of engagement.

On my M62 Wrecker I have a security cam and can see and hear if anyone is tampering with it. And as it functions on 24 volts, It sounds off some "Quiet?" alarms.. Err, Well actually, 100/200 watts. A Whelan white noise, A federal "Wail". A Galls street thunder. A carsom Air Horn. A sho-me...

It actually reminds of a time a saw a Pontiac Tempest Le'Mans of top of a scrap heap in El,Cojon. The yard guys thought I was nuts! But they hoisted it down for me. I paid $90, Bought a battery, Started it and drove home. I drove that little gem for years before selling it to an avid collector...

Well, Today we finished up fitting the injector pump. (Driving sprocket). The timing was OK first time trying a start. Though it does "Hunt" like a maniac, But at least it is running, We figure the only two things that can 'smash' a hydraulic head are, a), the button falling off, Though it has...

Ok, so I clanged the Hydraulic head, and it leaked fuel into the sump. I changed the seals (3) times!..Then found out the supplier conned us with miky mouse rubber seals and charged us for vitron seals. I finally had the right seals in place..Did it start? NO! It drove to where it was. So, Why...

OHH heck, Now these stories 'proper' put me in my place, And have given me a whole new insight. (And realization.). Of my plight. I am so sorry is is at the expense of others suffering more than I. So, today I went out to fix Riks deuce with the leaky hydraulic head seals. never mind the pains...

After a days careful work, I am about to follow the advice of Guyfang and indulge in a beer, Or two, Or ...three.. Oh and the truck was a once in a life time snip, from Poland, 8500 euros, and £7,500 worth 9of new old stock spares in the bed!.. and under the passenger seat, Two bottle of...
