****-it Jeff, you know I was about to......... How about putting the big winch behind the cab - or even a pair of smaller ones and run the cables below deck down either side? We have already discussed the crappy locker situation ad infinitum, so there is an option... Or put the 45K on the...

Sorry everyone - that's what assuming get's you. Well spotted Clinto/Ferro'. Yes I was confused in that 5 tons have front glad hands and didn't know that Deuces did not. If not replaced (on a 5t) and capped off, then brake line hookup can't be done "easily" for towing. Shuting up now - going...

Grooving of NDCC steers. My 816 came 'fresh' from service/base storage - on road truck steer tyres. Looked girlie so I replaced them with 2 new ones. Recently I got some more 'new' new ones but wanted to improve the steering end's performance in inclement weather and seeing as it came with...

So you want to "temp fix" this, which means you need to use or move the truck, but you don't want the ability for the truck to be towed safely - glad hands connection... (Not really sarcasm - just trying to understand why not leave open 'till fixed properly) Having said that, my 816 came with...

Oh that's a real easy one to explain - ask me how I know!!!! However, I was lucky enough to notice it just scuff the paint on the side of the cupola as I stopped slewing to the right side. However, my drivers side shipper brace (travel lock) will not fit on the peg on the boom as the cast...

Can you do:- a rolled (safe) edge? Maybe almost 180 deg to allow for painting inside lip. Could be an option for the outside edge rather than an upstand or down ward lip of 90 deg. - A 'set' on the front edge would be nice to lie on top of the lower lip of the bumper so that the bottom is...

Always wanted a bigger wrecker, so got an M816 [which is technically only a 'Medium' wrecker. Where as Ward La France M1A1 (6 ton), Sterling HSC330 (15 ton), HEMTT M984A1/E1-etc., (10 ton) are "Heavy" wreckers]. I think I nearly paid for mine by the end of summer harvest! See thread ...

I was caught out by this threads age too... I am making one of these for my M816 drivers side (passenger side has the vise plate). Don't think it's a good idea for fuel but an extra water Jerry can would work. Not sure I can get into full on retail production mode but can do a fab drawing...

Hey Fuzz' - what is up with your transfer case lever - is it supposed to lay flat one the floor? - Kind of hard to 'grab' when needed. Maybe I need to get on and finish my X-fer lever extensions to save a few knuckles! Maybe I'll trade you one for some routing info/pics etc., on the trolley...

Then perhaps 'AZ Deuce', YOU are the guy that needs to volunteer with a little dirty knee time and let us know what is hooked to what and where! (pretty please!!)

Rosco - been a while since I studied for my CDL so yes, I ought go back and study the finite details of the systems! BUT....... With the bench test, yes, there is delivery to what would be the trailer, however when you move the lever back to the off position, that pressure does not come...

Thanks DH - I followed a couple of those reference numbers through their manufacturers but did not find any info on "plumbing" other than the ports are labelled 'Delivery', 'Supply' and 'Exhaust'. I don't understand the exhaust function, there is full flow of air through the valve in the...

Trolley Valve - bench test Finally managed to do a bench test on the 3 pipe trolley valve. Ports open to air flow shown for both positions of handle. It appears that this valve is supposed to be 'cut' into or inserted 'inline' to the pressure line and not 'Tee'd into the pressure line. With...

Air Schematic Basic layout but still not specific enough. "809" TM - 20

TM number confusion Artisan / Doghead This is the TM index from S/S TM Forum ; No -24P so I have no idea what is on pge 120 yet Eric's first pic says - 24 at the top... Eric - I'd gone through -20 and nothing other than the pic I first put up (excluding my ** addition). So I am still...

- 24 TM...? That is not a TM available on this site is it? Didn't see that pic. Do you have the page with the numbers detailed??? Thanks. Ron - my next step was to go newer and check the 900's but going back is also a great idea - thanks. Turbo - yes, that'd be great, what I'd need is...

Yup - I was thinking this would be a great mod for the same reason beyond my "correct" resto need... This is what I have / need help with. Thanks. NB. This is specifically not in the "hot rodding" thread (see post #1 - ** ).

I'm installing an 'Air Brake Hand Control Lever' to my 816 and need assistance from 'tractor' owners on plumbing and connection. M818/819... 900 series or CCC owners. TM's (800 series) do not show schematic of lines or hookup of this hand valve. (Guess who I PM'd just to make sure!) All...

Subject to the weight/friction of your "small junk", the tensioner is not necessarily needed... The level wind should work with a load on the hook. The tensioner is there to apply a false load to the cable when rewinding the winch when no load is being pulled - ie., respooling after work is...
