That scrapper also has lots of wheel and tire combinations for the MK series. Gays Tire in GA has new tires for them as well-brand new at 200 bucks each. Pete

John, You did good as that rig looks new. Notes for you-check to see if you have the remote for the operation of the hoist and winch. Also, a couple of members have issued a word of caution on the front detachable K-member. Apparently there have been instances where they came off due to operator...

Looks great. Pete

John Post pictures. Is she tan or green? Pete

I put 395 Goodyears on my A3. At first it road terrible-little shake and real bouncy. I just kept driving it out of the shake zone and found it smoothed out. The issue may have been from the seating of the tires on the rims. Was thinking on how your wheels are centered on the hubs-are the wheel...

Sounds like you are on to a solution. Remember to try a simple reset after you plug the leak-just unplug-wait a few seconds and plug back in. Thanks for the link new guy. You will find this site has a lot of good folks on it. Pete

Welcome. Try the easy stuff first. The first thing I tried to correct a non functioning CTIS was to make sure the air pressure in tanks builds to over 120 PSIG. You can raise your tank pressure by adjusting the air governor located on the firewall. Read the TM's to see how its done (I unscrewed...

John, I have PM'd you. I also have a MK14 trailer. It looks like the trailer and the 18A1 have the same frame. The bed on the trailer and the Loader bolt to the frame. It look looks like the entire loader could be un bolted from the frame and fit onto the frame rails of a truck. The hydraulics...

John, No. I use it for volunteering and a little play. See my response to your other 18 post. Pete

I have an MK48/MK18A1 on my remote site. I have a roll off-about a 20 yard one on site that needs to be removed. I will find time to hook it this weekend. Pete

I have pulled my MK18 (self loader) with my 5-ton. Definitely knew it was back there. Pete

Pulled a heavy MK18A1. Made my truck squat a bit. Pete

Not sure if this helps, but...I have an M936A2 wrecker. CTIS was not working. I adjusted the compressed air pump governor to 130 PSI (was at 120). I then un plugged the CTIS cable in the cab (TM's say that this re-sets the module). I than re-plugged the cable back in, shut the truck down and...

Wreckerman, you drove mine and claimed it was like driving a slinky! It is at first, but after some seat time, one can readily control the truck. The truck is like an airplane-anybody can take off in a plane and fly around a bit, but to an untrained flier, few if any can land a plane. Practice...

I recovered an M936A2 wrecker from Ripley late last fall. CTIS was lighting up but not cycling. Given winter was around the corner, I thought I would go through the truck to find the issue with the CTIS. After a long winter all of my tires where very low, so outside of manually pumping up all...

Thats it! Plus, I have a Russian buddy that came from St Petersburg Russia back in the mid 90's. He is our electrical engineer and has travelled extensively with me to job sites her and Mexico. Through idle time spent in airports and sites, he has taught me much about Russian culture and a bit...

kak dela kukla! Pyotr (Pete)

Thanks for posting. My wrecker is doing the same thing yours did. It has been to cold to work on her, but with warming, I will tackle it. pete

Can you post a picture of the MK48 WORKING? Pete

It sure is nice to see great craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing. Looks great. Pete
