the easiest hookup is to pull the drain plug out of the air tank and srew you're hose right into it. one of those compressors you plug into the lighter would work. if you don't have any major leaks the pressure should stay right up there.
i keep 250 ft on the spool and 5 - 50 footers in the back, plus 100 ft of 3/8 chain, and 40 ft of 5/8 chain. but you will always be 10 ft short when you get stuck and are by you're self.
i've been in consruction for over 40 yrs. and done my share of getting stuck and pulling stuff out. i've constantly used shackles with a 1 in. pin and 5/8 cable and others . i've pulled many loaded tractor trailers 120,000 lds out of the mud and sand with 5/8 cables ,5/8 and 3/4 in shackles...
use them until u break em. if the hook staightens out get another one. i've pulled out d-8s sunk to the top of the tracks and never broke a hook. thats with only 5/8 chain too..if it breaks just replace it.
THER ARE TWO CIRCUIT BREAKERS on the firewall near the flasher. i think one of them feed the switch. try them with a volt meter, could have cooked one. when i was hooking up my plow pump my wrench came in contact with the floor thru my wedding ring. honey, whats that notch in you're ring ?
before you go crazy. fill the m/c and try the brakes... you don't need air to try them or to bleed them. the system might just be dry and need bleeding. if you're lucky. if the pedal is spongy they just need to be bled. if it goes to the floor , get out and look for the fluid dripping down.
up here in ma. if you got 6 wheels you are a comm. vehicle. and have comm. plates. knew of a guy in a ford van that had comm. plates and carried ladders on his roof. dot weighed him at 8k lds. 3k lds. over his reg. weight, no name and gvw on the door. now that guy worked all week for nothing...
yep, thats what we are saying . the air pac . you take out the little plug , squirt in a little air tool oil and put the plug back in. been doing it for 5 yrs, now and no problems. knock on wood. i do it three times a year.
i'm using reason on the wife. the deuce can burn old motor oil with some gas , and will get the same mileage as my f-250 . saving money. got her thinking.....heh heh heh
