Could you get a scissor from a M929 or M930 dump truck? It has a shorter wheelbase than the M925 but maybe that scissor would work? I think some of them have some kind of design that allows for more mechanical advantage from the bottom so it can lift the load easier. It would be like a...

Since this is a thread about operating your 5 Tons in the snow.... How does everybody's heat work in their 939 series? Happy with the performance?

How is the heat in there? Should get it fixed so your kids don't get pneumonia. Lets start tonight.

I have to look around my place and see what stuff I want to sell. It was a great show last year, I'm Looking forward to it this year.

How did you attach the plow frame to the truck? Could you take some pictures of that please and thank you. I would love a plow on my Deuce even though I would rarely ever use it.

We should check the voltage at your blower motor. When you turn on your blower motor, doesn't the voltage gauge drop some? I would like to troubleshoot a little more with yours. One thing that helps out my heater a lot is my cold weather front cover. My heater does not work well without it. If...

Sooooo when are the "old ones" going to be put on DRMO?? :popcorn:

I have sprayed WD-40 in some of the air lines if I have them apart. It cant hurt anything and keeps seals happy. I would like to see some troubleshooting of these air compressors. They are fairly simple and sometimes may only have a small problem that can be fixed so you don't need to buy a...

Ok, thank you guys for the help and clarification. I guess I will remove them from the equation so I don't have problems again.

Carbon fiber? I'm pretty sure a couple ball valves and a couple check valves would have worked just fine for you. No need to go carbon fiber fancy. ;-) My Deuce will do good in the snow with chains!

Don't forget to not spin your PTO faster than 1800 Engine RPM. Your valves will not be happy if you do.

We could have done that surgery in the garage. A hydraulic check valve from PRT would have been cheaper. If we get lots of snow this winter, I want to chain up my Deuce and see how it does!

That is what I did. I just got power from my dedicated 12 volt system (separate batteries and alternator for my 12 volt system). I don't have to worry about draining one battery with that system. I still would rather have a 100 watt resistor instead of getting power from my 12 volt system, but...

Like Doghead said, they are not needed for operation, only noise filtering, which I can understand. I need to search and see how somebody bypassed them. I see I could cut the wire on the outside of the capacitor box and splice it, but i would like to see how it looks on the inside of the box. If...

I had lose battery connections on my MEP-002A the other day and it shorted one of my capacitors on my fuel pumps. I knew they are failure prone so I just unhooked one of the fuel pumps since they are redundant. Then a little while later the other one blew and I saw that my battery cable was lose...

While you are at it, you could do other PM stuff that may or may not be related to your problem. Check/blow out the air filter, replace the secondary filters too since you have to change your primary and adjust the valves to name a few. I love preventative maintenance. It saves money in the long...

I have drained my filter numerous times and I never get any water. Then again, I usually always have a full tank of wmo/diesel/gasoline blend fuel (less air to form condensation in the tank) and i drive my truck a lot. Maybe that combination keeps water away? Not sure.

I know what you mean, but I realize a lot of trucks do this and it has worked for years, so you cant argue that... but I still don't like it. haha. I don't mean that to sound like I don't like Oilfield's plow, I do. I would love to have a plow on mine. So what other options are there? If you put...

Yup, I was there. I don't think it was 4 feet, but it was nasty mud. :-)

If you could get the engine running, I would get it running and use a mix of WMO and diesel for fuel. Its hard for injectors to stick or an HH to stick if the system is well lubricated.
