    Missing bed…. Remind me of the mud flap locations

    If you still need the info here are some pictures. It a 2002 M1083A1. The front mud flap basically lines up with the rear of the muffler. Maybe a 1/2 inch just behind the rear of the muffler. The bottom of the mud flap is about 6 inches out from the front of the rear intermediate tire. Hope...

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    I watched that several times and the one by "Fastidious Restomods" on Abel, before I tore into mine. If you go to the above video and stop it at 6:27, mine didn't have the pipe that is in the manifold that is beside the dip stick. That was just one of several differences. Do I need that pipe?

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Reinstalled it last night but haven't tried it since I cleaning it. I will get to that today hopefully if weather permits. But, before removing the pump nothing coming out of the breather, I removed the breather and check it and it was clear. It sounded like it was cycling but nothing moving...

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Yeah that maybe, but when it's your first time rebuilding or taking one apart you kind of rely on the TM's and/or the instruction sheet that comes with the kit. When things don't match up to what your seeing in the TM's and the instruction sheet it is concerning. I believe myself to be...

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Well, I cleaned all the parts, they weren't that bad considering the fluid tank was nasty! Was working on it for several hours and I took my time since the TM's wasn't a lot of help and just got it back together. If I have to do it again I think I could do it all in less then an hours next time...

    A0 vs A1 Air/Hydraulic Pump

    Pump wasn't working. Tried everything to get it to work even with the suggestions from SS member. Took it off today to clean and rebuild it and I'm in it now. So I'm using the TM to get it apart, It may look like the A0 on the outside but the interior of it is very different. I guess I'm going...

    Air/Hydraulic or hand pump issue?

    That's it, I don't know. Engine not running yet so I have only used the manual hand pump and with no fluid returning to the hand pump, is it a air/hydraulic issue, hand pump issue or? With it being almost 20 years old I'm sure it is probably gummed up. The fluid coming out was nasty.
