The rain sure knows how to ruin progress, but yesterday i got the coolant system drained back down and all new coolant, knobs are now on the vent system so i can pull them out, hydraulic manifold is back apart due to a leaking o ring. more parts ordered for other projects. I am sure many have...
More progress today rear end is full of oil, changed out coolant sight glasses and radiator cap, turned the truck around in the drive in a snow storm. Wipers work, but that face full of dust was fun when i turned on the heater blower. Purchased a refurbished laptop on Walmart.com to dedicate...
Not much has been done the last few days. changed power steering filter, filled the front diff with oil, tightened all the drain plugs under the truck since they were all loose after the army drained the fluids out. The wife is not please with all the Fedex, UPS, USPS deliveries to the porch in...
15 years ago i painted a 16 foot car trailer with etching primer and imron paint. 1000 dollars for materials, but that paint was as good 10 years later as it was when we sprayed it
welcome another Ohio member, be very careful. last year a bought a 803 generator for the house, then 2 months later the mep 1040 because its the newest version, 2 weeks ago an m1078 and yesterday another mep 1040 generator. green and tan grow somehow
So looking at the air over hydraulic pump 3 out of 4 mounting bolts are missing. I assume that was to drain the fluids. The protective cover is missing as well so will have to source one of those, but my question to the group is on the left side by the hose inputs is an allen screw the TM says...
So I got a few hours to work on the truck tonight, I followed Helicools youtube video and took the valve manifold apart and cleaned everything. cab goes up and down great now. got the transmission and power steering filled up, rear brakes uncaged and drove it about 4 truck links up the drive...
So made a lot of progress today. Diesel was the only fluid in the truck so far. so i put fluids in finally got the cab lifted, oil, coolant, batteries primed pump and it fired right now. cab is stuck 2/3rds of the way up fought for 2 1/2 hours just to get to that point, front rubber isolators...
FYI for anyone picking items up at Springtown. They only allow pick up mon-Wed 8am-2p. GP customer care did not have the correct days of operation but did give the contact for the site. Normally its on the release form but not this time so just some FYI
Does anyone have information on the Springtown GP lot. GP does not give a local contact. is it a military base? The address comes up as Hasty Equipment Sales?
The truck is at the GP lot in in springtown, Texas. Brakes are caged batteries are missing. I am hoping it starts right up and drives, but i did not plan on my EUC going through in one day which put me in a situation where i can't just leave my job for a week or two and go get the truck.
I am in that situation right now. i bought an LMTV Wednesday 3/25/2022 submitted the EUC 3/26 and it took 24 hours to be approved. waiting till the truck is in the drive way to tell the wife. no going back now. I really thought this was going to be a long process
