    Problem with M-817

    Sounds like the clutch maybe had no free play and the throw out bearing was running all the time. Bearing finally went out and seized and then burned the fingers off the pressure plate. I have had that happen several times on farm tractors and trucks.

    Installing a ROPS onto a m151a1

    I have heard that installing one on an A1 will make it roll even more likly because it will be more top heavy. Don't know if that is true or not.

    mutt tires

    That price is way to high for old used tires. I would buy new before paying that.

    mutt tires

    I can't really answer your question but I bought 4 from a salvage yard that at one time had a semi trailer load from all the MUTTS they had killed. I was on good terms with the guy and he let me pick the ones I wanted. 80% or better mounted with air included for $10.00 apiece. Now bear in...

    New trucks made it home!

    In Ga a farmer does not need a CDL to haul his own products within 150 miles from the farm. But if I cross over into SC which is only 50 miles they require a Cdl.

    That was dumb....

    I have welded many cast pieces and never had a failure even though I was told I could not weld some of these pieces. Grind both pieces on all sides on a bevel till you have about a quarter inch thicknest left in the middle. You need nichol rods for cast. One eighth inch will work good. set it up...

    Rear mount logloader on m35a2

    If you have hydralic stabilizer legs it would probable be OK. If I were doing it I would center it over the axles or at least a little closer to the front. I have loaded logs with my 5 ton wrecker and a big log off to the side put a pretty big load on it.

    Odometer readings r correct?

    flyfishing44, since you are new I think you missed an inside joke and I will let you in on it. When Mr Grinch rebuked patracy on his comment that was a joke as patracy is the all seeing internet god that just recently took over the net reins of SS and has made a tremendous improvement in the...

    Intermittent Power Loss

    I don't really think an injector would be sticking open. They usually just stop up or get coked and don't spray the correct pattern. Put some small air pressure in the fuel tank for a couple minutes and then ckeck for leaks in the fuel lines. Loosen the bleeder screw and turn on the master...

    Intermittent Power Loss

    Certainly sounds like a fuel issue. Could be air but it should clear up by itself if it is driven very much. Did you disturb any rubber lines when working on it?? If so you may have cracked a hard line and are getting air in the system while running. Also could be filters and it just...

    Sounds like broken transfer uless the shifter is out of adjustment and its not really engaged. With the transmision turning move the transfer shifter up and down and see if you find a place where it grinds. Don't force it just move easily.

    Just drove my new m35a2 home

    Someone posted a wiring diagram while I was typing. That is good but hard for me to trace. There is a post on reparing a three lever switch that gives the pin locations and is a very good writeup. If I were better with computers I would post the link, But do a search on three lever light...

    MKT to Food Sanitation Trailer

    Looking good Mike, can't wait to see it at the next Ga Rally!!!

    Advice needed, maybe not heeded.

    Just my opinion and you know about them, but if the frame and sheetmetal are sound and with all the little parts you say go with it that is a decent price. I would buy it if it was closer.
