I've got my ex-military, multifuel, high water, deep snow, never get a flat tire, I know how to fix it, can play with it once (or more) a week bug out vehicle all figured out. Only issue is you are limited as to where you can go, but really, so is any wheeled vehicle to some extent. :ROFLMAO:

As of right now my wife and I will be there Thursday night, but probably not until after dinner time.

It's already in the truck...😁

Sounds like what my deuce was doing- air pack backfeeding into the master cylinder. So takes more pedal force to get the fluid to go the right way. Usually a check or port not sealing. If you want I have a good takeoff m39 air pack I can lend you to swap and see if that fixes it.

I usually take the cylinder apart, and take the packings into the local hydro shop. They had all the seals for that 1968 Allis Chalmers dozer cylinders in stock. Take your new seals home and install. Easy peasy. Had a shop quote me $285 to rebuild a cylinder once. New one was $175. Rebuilt it...

The issue is definitely in one or maybe both cylinders then. Even with valves on both ends, a cylinder can leak by internally. You could go through all the hassle to try to find which cylinder it is, but I don't feel it's worth the lost fluid and frustration. If it were me I'd pull both and take...

Got you down for one, I'll bring the better of the two. I will keep looking for the shackle mounts for you, I'm sorting stuff to see what I need to buy there for my project anyway.

Oh yeah? Well, I'll pay, uh, uh, $21.57 a day!:jumpin::ROFLMAO: Lol seriously we're behind you guys Clint, I'm sure you can make something work, and we are willing to help.

Why do you think I have a stack of tanks? 😂 I'll check and make sure I have single chamber tanks and bring a few with me.

They are single chamber tanks, but off bigger trucks. I assume he needs them for a deuce? I plan to bring a few.

Here is a couple pics of one of the rims. I have the lock rings matched to the rims. Looks like I have two good ones, and two with rust pitting on the inside face. Perfectly serviceable however. $50 each for the good ones $30 each for the pitted ones. I only found one spare set of shackles...

Looks like the winch on the boom on the MK15 a guy here has. The upper end of the photo is the motor, the lower end is the hydraulic brake. If it has the hydraulic brake, my guess is it is a lifting winch, IE crane, boom, etc. Try looking in the TM for the MK15 and see if the numbers match.

I always use the "well so and so wants to buy this or that, but can't make it here. If I go to the rally/show, I can take them X items, and make some money. Plus then I can take more stuff to sell, and clean up more junk you complain about and make even more money!" Then just barely audible I...

Both cylinders are tied together, so if one is bad both will leak down. Fixed a guys dozer with that exact issue. Blade would leak down, but only one cylinder was bad. Isolated each independently with a valve, and caught the leaker. There's just not much to that system, it is either in the...

Just because you got them NOS doesn't mean the seals in it are any good. Only thing I can think of to try is to put a valve in the lines from the cylinders to the valve body (lower lines) and raise the boom, then close the valve. If it still lowers, issue is in the cylinders. If it doesn't issue...

I'm in VA this week, but will be home next week and can get pics. I think I do have a set of shackles and mounts but will have to dig around some.

I have several good rims, and lots of m37 parts. Like almost enough to build another m37. Or two...

Pins like that from the farm store were what was in my 817.

He said he checked it with a meter before, so he wasn't just relying on the gauge. Try running a separate 'sensing' wire (the small one) directly to the battery + and see what your voltages are then. If it goes up to 27-29 volts, you have a bad connection in that circuit running to the alt...

That's exactly the one I was thinking it might be! Reading Railroad #520, Built by American Locomotive Works, Model RS-3, (Road Switcher) with a model 244 12 cylinder 1,600hp diesel. Painted for Southern Railroad and used by a fledgling tourist operation on the former NS line now owned by RJ...
