    936A2 Gas Tank Problem

    When you say strainer you mean the mesh strainer inside the filler neck below the filler cap? When I try to unscrew the filler cap the entire filler neck tries to unscrew from the tank, I can see the paint break where the filler neck goes into the tank!

    Found some cool pictures - M944A1 SEORTM

    I had to pass on one at the Tulsa Municipal auction a several of years ago, it had a blown engine and went for nothing! That was before I had my tractor or 936. I still regret it!

    No More Drilling Hub Screws!

    I haven't given up on the one hold out hub. Tomorrow I am going to put a torch to the screws with the Kroil on them to see if I can dry them up for the hammer job to work!

    No More Drilling Hub Screws!

    I was dreading replacing the wheel cylinders on my 6217 Maint. truck after hearing all the horror stories about the three hub screws on each wheel! So I did a little research on screw removal, and found a old mechanic video on screw removal. He said use a large flat punch and good sized hammer...

    New Member from ny. M201b1 barnfind restore.

    Go to Kano Labs web site and order a can of Kroil Oil, best $16 you will ever spend. Give the lugs a shot wait an hour and your kids/grand kids can take them off!

    M936 wrecker boom leaking down

    A couple of years ago GL had a 936 boom up for bid, I put a $100 on it and forgot about the bid, a few days later I won! When I showed up in OKC to pick it up it had two new lift cylinders packed inside the boom! Never know what you will get, well most of the time the shaft but sometimes not!

    M198A1 Transformation!

    I purchased a M198A1 converter dolly a few years ago, very soon afterwards I found a 809 series tractor so the dolly was never used and just set in the cedar woods! I pulled it out last week and what a transformation with just the use of a low power washer!
