Yes, it's called a accessory drive. The 5-ton dump trucks used them.

I'd pick the Cat engine up anyway. A good running 3406B will bring quite a bit of money. I'd be interested if the price is right because I'm running two civilian trucks with that engine and am always needing parts.

Regular DOT air tubing works fine but it's not fuel rated per say. It's actually rated for air but will work fine without any problems. I once used some plumbing tubing from Lowes for a return line because it was all that was available at the time and I needed to get home. The line got me home...

I recently pulled out a M923 buried to the axles with my deuce and a 2 part line. It's the most load I've ever had on the winch and feared the shear pin wouldn't hold. I had the deuce up against a tree and could feel the whole truck in a bind while I was in the seat. I've found that jerking is...

I'd look for a trans PTO with a accessory drive. They would be much more plentiful than a t-case PTO from a M819. You can find pumps with electric clutches but they tend to be smaller GPM. You could fab up some sort of jaw clutch but it's likely going to be cumbersome and require quite a bit...

No. On a M816, the PTO turns all the time the clutch is engaged and the trans is in gear. The power divider is what turns the hyd pump on and off and also sends power to the rear winch when needed. Ron is right. They do make a shiftable t-case PTO to fit the 5-ton t-case. It sounds like the OP...

The M816 t-case PTO turns any time the trans in in gear and the foot clutch is engaged. The on and off of the hyd pump is controlled by the power divider. I don't know how you'd have the ability to disengage the pump without the wrecker power divider also. What you probably need is a...

Yes I care, I didn't get my post in. Anyway here it is.

I was once at a local truck line-up shop and a truck driver there was getting his tires shaved. It appeared that they were taking off 1/4 of the tread (I'm sure it wasn't that much but it did seem like they were removing a lot of rubber). After talking to the owner of the truck, he said they...

Ok, Thanks.

I tried that on one of my trailers and it wouldn't get tight. Even after tightening the nut you could still rotate the lunette fairly easy. I ended up taking it back off and cleaning all the anti-seize off.

What's the key code for a HMMWV?

I'm not sure if a hardware store would carry one. You'd have a better chance at a auto parts store but even then they would probably have to order it. A nut and bolt store like Fastenal should have one in stock or any place that carries industrial supplies. Here's one from Auto-Zone...

I second the thread file. You should be able to work out the marred threads with a good thread file.

Nobody ever made a compression brake (Jake brake) for the multifuel engine so it's a no-go there. Don't know how you'd do a trans brake either without swapping the trans. About the only thing you might could do is cobble up a exhaust brake but I've never seen one that worked very well at...

We've had problems in the past with members getting mad and trying to delete some or all their threads. When this happens, good info can get lost.

I have had to open the yoke back up some after a tough joint pressing out. Just for clarification, they aren't made of cast iron as mentioned earlier in the thread, they are forged steel. I find it best to just cut the cross out with a torch when removing the old joint. Then all you have to do...

Let's make sure we only talk about legal stuff and not about how to get around laws illegally.

It used to be in the rules, I don't know why it's not still there. The reason we like people to post pics directly to the site is because links tend to go dead. When the links go dead, the site looses part of it's photo archive. I know I've googled something and when it took me to another forum...
