    M939 Recovery / Extraction Shaft

    Wrecker just use a tow bar and the drive shaft. I have heard guys tell me this before and I say it might can be done rear to rear but the front has things in the way. Also this would be a useless hookup unless the stuck truck was dead.

    M816 boom extention

    Okay I had just noticed that most jib booms drooped like that and was wondering.

    M129a4

    So how big of a porch do I need to park a 1008? Thinking like 16' I can have some overhang and still be legal. Any ideas on how to make the rear bumper/ramps? I am thinking to make a fold up section about 3' that after loading can be folded down for bumper use.

    M923a3?

    Nope they are M939A2P1's. I believe that people are just making typos. I have seen literally thousands of 939s and never an A3.

    Mid Winch Install on M818

    So Jake are you going hydraulic? And where did you find the information sheet? Would love to see a 939 series bolster truck.

    Engine air compressor gasket

    Used the Victor Reinz JV128 3187 not for anything other than looks. And no goop I have used the perma-tex and it just cooks and turns loose.

    Why 2 pto's on 936s?

    Sorry Ron that's not true here. The front won't work without the bed installed

    Why 2 pto's on 936s?

    The front a rear winches are direct drive not hydraulic and requires different pto's. It has one that operates the front independently from the rest of the systems.

    Mid Winch Install on M818

    Hey Jake you do know that these winches can be reconfigured to move the input to any of the four corners that you may need it on.

    Why 2 pto's on 936s?

    The stand alone system would have made sense and would only required a tank like they used on the other trucks. So I guess they just weren't thinking.

    Engine air compressor gasket

    Ran good for about a hour while I connected the tow bar and drove home

    Engine air compressor gasket

    Ended up putting a thick almost like asbestos gasket back in and left extra around the outside will trim it down to about 1/8th around the outside. But on the bright side I now have everything you need to cut gaskets.

    M925A2 Winch Cable Troubles

    Just so anyone else that comes looking the nut piece is called a thimble and the piece in the wire rope is called a plug and both can be purchased from Esmet and are recommended to be replaced whenever they are undone and it is cheap insurance for a good termination on your new line. Esmet also...

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    I would just run it as is for a while and see if it does it again. It is a pain to remove the valve and head, if it happens again remove the line coming from the top of the unloader valve to see if that helps if not a 1/2" wrench will take off the bolts on the unloader valve and you can check it...

    Why 2 pto's on 936s?

    Anyone have a solid theory of why they put 2 pto's and pumps on the 936 wreckers? It is not backup for failure because there is only one hydraulic tank. The rear pump would be more than enough to run the front winch. No way they want you running both at the same time, so what gives? Seems to be...

    M129a4

    Think I am going to add some extra length for hauling my CUCV. Maybe make it so it will lower down like a ramp and just drive on.

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    So a set of marine injectors, what size, and do you have to change the turbo or can that wait until you bump the pump?
