Anybody ever warm up the yoke before pressing the cups in? Not talking red hot just warm like with a propane touch. Can you think of any reason why not as long as you don't get it so hot you ruin the seals or cook the grease.

If you notice the picture. I turned the repair kit into a candle holder :-) Ha Ha Ha... no? Hey I'm an old man humor me.

Looks like I won't be able to fix the M944. I re-purposed the "U" joint repair kit.

Why are you removing the back-ho? Why don't you just tap into the back-ho hydraulics. Seems having it would be an asset.Would it be possible just to mount the grinder to to bucket? . Then you'll have something to pick up the mess you made with the grinder. Sure enough you'd have the pressure...

You can't pick your nose with that thing with out tilting the cab, pretty much. I don't know how much "in frame" stuff you can do not a lot I guess. Did you get a chance to check the oil pressure when it was running? There is a message in that the sound goes away when it warms up not sure...

The good news is the engine is Mercedes standard medium duty truck engine. The least exotic of everything on the vehicle. Been around for years. Unless proven otherwise the price should reflect engine replacement or removal repair. Does it have the hydraulic tools? Chan saw, pavement breaker...

Guess what not all the "U" joints are the same!!!!!! The joints from the transfer case to the middle axle is larger. In my case with the long chassis there are 4 of them. Natually before that came to light I ordered two kits. Looks like Andy D's prayers are working. I appears by accident or is...

Didn't note the mileage. But guessing it improved. Everything that was turning before drive shaft removal is turning after. The only difference is that the two rear diffs are powering the truck and the , exactly the same plus steering knuckles, are after. Could an additional Diff suck that...

The M944 lost a “U” joint on the way to the Georgia meet and greet. First and foremost thanks Andy D w/Acorns., Ken, Andy C. and Carrie-Ann (Dorothy). Once again it was proven that MV’s are just a catalyst to be close caring friends. Bless all of you. The smoke was so bad I thought I...

Stills boggles my mind that they are out of production. Seems to me it is the absolute most perfectness thing for the types of wars we are fighting.

My ruck take awhile for the spring brakes to apply after lifting the hand brake. If you don't remember you can actually get out of the truck before they engage.

A couple of oil fll-run-drain should do the trick. Back in the day a ruptured mechanical fuel pump diaphram would introduce fuel into the oil. Also a stuck carburetor float. There are numerous documented crankcase explosions due to fuel in the oil!

Not Knowing your budget or how extreme you need to get this is the ultimate; no not my rig. I wish

The S.E.E. Tractor is yet an other government concoction that dosn't do anything well. Especially when compared to a 580.

Your wife?

I think this is the first non septic tank work with Kermit. Transplanting trees. My wife said that if she was paying me to do it she wouldn't pay me :-(

I'm there with the M944, picking up a tan M923 with 2 wenches on the way (AKA Ken)

What in the fuel gauge circuit stops the needle from swinging back and forth as the fuel sloshes in the tank? Fuel gauge fundamentals; Think I have the fundamentals on how a fuel gauge work. The sending unit has what amounts to a wire wound variable resister. There is an arm with a float...
