I had my FLU419 break down and towed home approximately 30 miles and if I remember correctly, it only cost ~$200.00. Actually, they didn't tow it, they loaded it on a truck. If you try to move it yourself, towing would definitely be better than trying to push it. You will likely damage the...

My M151A2 is also coming and ready for the trip.

Can't you get a heavy wrecker to pick up the back and tow it home backwards? If the problem is in the transmission, you should also be able to disconnect the driveshaft and pull it home.

Why do you think the rear axle locked up, but it's in the transmission? You mentioned that you can't get it into 3rd or 4th gear. What about 1st and 2nd gear? If it runs fine in 1st and 2nd gear, this eliminates everything behind the transmission. I suspect you need to replace the plastic...

IMHO, wire pulling lube doesn't last long enough and runflat lube needs to last.

Ever since I received my FLU419, I’ve had issues with the valve body for the stabilizers. The stabilizer on the passenger side would extend, and stick, causing the stabilizer to extend all the way and I always had trouble retracting it. I finally had enough and decided to replace it. The...

Testing the oil is a good idea in any case. It can tell you a lot and prevent future problems. I'm a pilot and a few years back, the oil test on my Cessna came back with metal in the oil. It turned out the camshaft was failing rapidly. Without the oil test I wouldn't have known.

I live on 40 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Georgia surrounded by National Forest. The coyotes and bobcats don't let any loose cats survive here. I may start using poison. My F250 is currently out of commission because a large rat ate through some of the wiring and additionally...

I've used United States of Freight and they did an outstanding job, undercut everyone else's prices and delivered early.

I gave up with stripper and went with sand blasting on my M416 trailer. The sandblasting was tough and took hours and expense to remove the CARC.

I had terrible problems with mice eating the center out of my drivers seat on my M35A2. They were eating the canvas and foam rubber. I put Irish Spring soap on the center of the seat and to my surprise, the mice ate a big chunk out of the bar of Irish Spring soap. Obviously didn't work for...

If the tank halves are in good shape, you can get the tank welded back together.

M37s are neat trucks. I drove them in the Army and have driven several since, including one in an underground mine that had a Ford tractor diesel engine installed.

I have a 1998 M35A3 and the cap spring was very corroded when I obtained the truck from Sparta. I cleaned the rust off and covered everything with grease. It immediately corroded again. I replaced the cap with an NOS cap that looked perfect. I again coated the spring and everything on the...

Congratulatons on your purchase. You've come to the right place if you need help. Once you get it, take plenty of photos.

You will need to remove the cover on the tower to get to the linkage. I had a similar issue when I first got my FLU419 only it impacted both swing pedals. In my case I had two problems. Problem #1 was the valve assembly had some surface corrosion on the valve rod that slides up and down. It...

I keep a NOCO 5 X 2 on my MEP003A batteries. It is one great battery charger / maintainer. You don't need to disconnect the batteries to hook up the charger.

A lot of places will do it where I live. I'm currently booked at Carquest for the job.

Having 20' extensions is a very good idea. I've used my entire 35' on several occasions and it barely reached. My reel has exactly 35', but it barely fits on the reel with the cover installed. My hose has the following nomenclature stamped on it. Aeroquip FC310 08 HI PAC 3500 MAX OPER PSI...

How long are the hydraulic hoses on other FLU419s? My reel is absolutely full, if not overloaded with hose. I measured my hoses and I have exactly 35 feet of double hose. I looked up the specs for the reel on my FLU419 and it stated that the reel is rated for 15 feet of double hose with the...
