This coming from a guy called Gimpy :razz:

I just bought a rebuilt air compressor from this guy: JR Roberts REI Brake Supply 800-489-9860 He was great to deal with. It was around $350 + core for the compressor with a 1-year warranty. The only issue you will have is it won't come with any of the thread-in fittings that you will need...

I'm not kidding by the way. If you don't want to sell the whole thing or any of the equipment, then I have a request. Can you please take the hard to find items like the trunnion and sheaves to an engineering firm and get some CAD drawings made of them? I will pay for the drawings and your...

Dang nice find!! How much will you take for it?!

That's the spirit!! We'll have a 12-pack of cold ones ready for you! A couple to sit on, one for your throttle knee, and the rest for consumption!

White Owl used to have a couple of 939A2 parts trucks around. I got some stuff off of them when I was building my 923A2.

That's what I did. I pulled the same page up in IE and FF and stacked them side by side on my laptop. Maybe I'm not sure what you are asking for.

Looks almost identical to me. Maybe a hair more contrast with IE vs FF. I still prefer FF.

I know. I could have just swapped the whole thing in. Oh well. Family and job security must come first.

Sorry, I have been a little caught up in other things. The only thing I see that my Dad could use is the spotlight assembly. He's missing one of his. Thanks for the pics. The bed would look good on your truck. A lot of sand blasting and some new wood slats would do wonders for it. Do...

You are a good man for helping a guy out of a bad fix. PM's on the way. To the rest of you, thanks for kicking a guy when he's down :wink: I wouldn't expect any less.

I have found myself in a bad situation. I won a M932A2 on GL last week. That in itself is not bad, but I also found out last week that the new job I was supposed to be taking at the first of the year has been eliminated :x. Therefor, this 932A2 must go. I would love to keep it since there...

There are a couple of crusty ones in that old 939 hard top on that 925 residue cab. They might be able to be cleaned up and reused. I can check the next time I am down there if you aren't in a hurry.

Thanks Bjorn, but I think it's in about the same shape as the one I have already. I think I can save mine by welding in some new loops to catch the j-bolts. It didn't look quite as bad yesterday since it wasn't filled with rain water and I cleaned all of the rotten wood and rust scale out of...

Thankfully, we only have to trace down 4 of the 7 wires this time. :-D I already soldered one in place. It was the fat one from the battery, 569 I believe. It won't be bad with one person to stick the multimeter probe in the PCB socket and another to check for continuity in the cab. You'll be...

Sounds like a good plan for the brakes. The 939-series air brakes really slow those big trucks down in a hurry. I don't know if I can ever go back to air over hydraulic. :-)

Work Session! I took half a day to run to Winslow's and work on the 925A2 today. It was a perfect day with sunny weather to dry out all of the much from the weekend. I did a lot of little projects today. I started by pulling the batteries out of the 925 parts truck so I could inspect the...

Gulfway is a very safe bet. My 818 was around $230 or so a year. Nice people to deal with.

LOL, I love the irony of that sticker. The good news is that the floor is mostly flat steel sheeting with very few bends or cuts. The cab superstructure is still solid so it should be fairly easy (with lots of Kroil) to pull the seats, battery box, shifter, brake lever, etc.... and then plasma...

I'm hoping there won't be a next time, but if there is, I'll make dang sure my camera is on hand! I'm going to try and fire the heater up on Wednesday if all of the wiring is there. That sucker should have the cab dried out pretty quickly! On a crappy note, it looks like we'll be swapping...
