    Questions with rear tire air valve - broke!

    I'm not a fan of the CTIS either. I've heard enough failure stories that I'll just do it by hand. I've got enough broke things here on the farm without adding to it.

    Questions with rear tire air valve - broke!

    Go to your local big truck or hydro hose shop. You need a Schrader valve on a 1/4 pipe nipple. Common part, normally comes shrink wrapped on a card. Or you can get a 1/4 pipe to 1/8 pipe bushing and use the part that Erik's sent you.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Carried the ROTC during the parade for the Heritage Farm Festival. It sat on display the rest of the day. Sadly it was a unmanned display as we had other demonstrations to manage.

    M923a2 pulling question

    I'd have to re read the manual to be certain. But my understanding of it was front brakes only with override engaged. If I can get a several min I'll have to look it up to clarify for us both.

    M923a2 pulling question

    That's not what that is for. Override disables your rear brakes completely.

    Strange M1101/M1102 Cargo Cover ??

    That's a great cover! I like it alot better than the normal one that's on the towns. It's a pain to roll the sides up. We have a hydro power unit in ours with a water main valve insertion machine.
