Working on insulating the cab already. doing the gaiters for the trannt shift knobs, etc. door seals and window seals... ditto... thus If I can get compressed freon to an evaporator in the cab, I can cool the cab!!! Just get me a simple, reliable, effective, efficient, a/c compressor mount...

Air conditioner compressor-a/c compressor install...How? Done extensive research but still no answer. I have tried and tried to move around Miami in my Deuce and not end up drenched in sweat... It is friggin' hot here !!! I know that if I can get a compressor to mount on my multifuel, I can...

My truck is a '72 Deuce, with a 530B Fire truck body. It too has a transfer case PTO. The pto is operated by the water pump being engaged by the lever that is on the fire truck panel, behind the driver's side door. I don't know much aboput the pto or the transfer case except that that is what...

Got a pair of 12 V unity spots on my deuce fire truck. Also on my hose bed lamps. I really would love to get some 24-28 Volt aircraft lamps in those housings. Any idea what fits? Would rather not reinvent the wheel. Thanks

I do prefer the non-holey approach. I will tackle the job this weekend... lets see how it goes. Thank you all. BTW, for a handy first timer with nice tools, what would you all estimate the time to do the install at? How about for a winch install?

Thank you for the pics Wait for mock up on truck before drilling... Great idea... patience is a virtue... Thanks, I will lock my drill and the sawsall in the garage until I am really, really, really sure where the holes go.

Thank you. I cannot imagine what it would be like to own one of these without this group and people willing to help like you. Thank you. I will try top make a pictorial record to memorize the event. I will then make it available to the group... Thanks again... Raul

Thanks. That process of elimination will work well with the hardware, but the measurements and hole sizes are a totally different issue. I am hopeful that someone has a set of prints that is clear enough to copy or scan.

woke up full of zest and vigor and planned on doing a 1-2-3 install of the kit... ran into a little snag... don't know if it is my set of blueprints that spec out the frame hole dimensions and the placements that is blurry, but I cannot distinguish some of the numbers ... the 8s and the 0s or...

Just won an 818 at redstone. Truck is supposed to be a runner. Does anybody have a contact number for someone with info from Redstone? Specifically, I would like to know if there is a ramp that can be used to load an 818 on a flat bed. Truck needs to come to Miami, Florida. Thanks

Thank you all. I will be posting a full pic asap. showing the control panel. I intend to use the foam system. I already use foam in my large water/foam fire extinguishers... but you are right ... gotta crawl before I can walk.

I have no clue regarding the proper operation of my fire truck. I can read the basics and can get the pto to engage but all i get is killing the motor by bogging it deown, the pump does not feel like t is spinning. I do not know if I have to release something or if my pump is damaged and needs...

I'm off to my shop to throw out all my Snap On tools, and replace them with Harbor Freight stuff. :wink: BTW... did the rest of this group know that Snap on had bought out Williams, the best tool maker in the world (humble personal opinion)... only to have the manufacturing of the new...

Hi Neil nice job on the site. its going to take a while to go through it... but it is worth it. I picked up my 530b and am just cautious about the operation of all that foam fire fighting equipment (since it is actually intended to do work as a fire truck in my wood yard). Thanks for the...

Found it and then some... thank you all

Thanks, but this truck is a multifuel-being a newby I don't know if it makes a difference or not... Thanks for the compliment, she is pretty. I have a few scuffs on the body from transport and plan to fix by spot repainting-I lucked into this guy in Miami that actually matches the paint color...

TM 9-2320-361-24-1 for maintenance seems to have the last pages missing, specifically the ones including those for the winch. is there a more complete version? or am I looking in the wrong place. Seems that after the axle bearing section, it goes straight into the index... or is there a part...

How can I tell if I have a 3052 or a 3053 or an OD transmission? I cannot find any info to figure that out. My truck is a 5 speed. The pto that drives the water pump feeds off the back of the transfer case. That pto is activated by a lever on the left panel on the bottom of the water pump gauges...

My truck already has the "pto" lever in the cab behind the brake lever, but it is disconnected. Where on the tranny does the pto get attached? Is there a plate that gets removed? Thanks for the help.

I was wondering how I would add a winch to my fire truck. I guess what I have is a transfer case pto coming out of the top of the back of the transfer case and is activated by this large lever that switches between water pump and drive line. I guess I have to add a "tranny pto" for my winch...
