I'll grap some pics today. It keeps the rear of my wrecker an oily dripping mess. Why would the roller be filled as opposed to just lubing the end support bearing caps? If filled, I would imagine it easily would take 6-8 tubes of grease.
Nice tutorial brother. Question, my fairlead roller (M936A1) seems to be draining gear lube on both ends of the roller. There appears to be a hex plug up on top for filling the roller reservoir. It just just doesn't make sense that the roller would be filled with gear lube. What can you advise?
I have a M936A1, the throttle kick up is part of the PT pump. When you engage the PTO for crane operations it auto advances the throttle to 1500-1600 RPM. Once engaged you pull the hand throttle all the way out and lock it.
Yup, cuz the they are Huck steel cored rivets! Punch out center first, drill out incrementally to 3/16", the back side will spin so careful you don't erode the underlining aluminum skin. Still a pita no matter how you you do it....
Take a infrared heat gun with you to shoot accurate temps. I always have one in my trucks to check heat status on the engine and various running gear, hubs, tires, etc.
Great find, I just acquired a USMC M1102- MCC missing the crank handle. I just ordered the handle and gears from e-trailer.com. Any advice on the R & R?
I'm with you on that 600# no problem. I have a little different version that came on my M1102. I like what you've got started. You put those windows in?
