Can I just run the battery with the polarity reversed for the time being, just remembering to hook it up in reverse? James G.

I have checked the charger with a couple of other batteries I have and the charger is fine. But when I hook up the one battery from the truck the charger gives out a steady tone and tells me to reverse the cables for correct battery polarity. The polarity has has changed on the battery the pos...

I left the switch on my M715 contact maint. truck, ran the bat. all the way down! I hooked one up to the charger no problem. I just hooked up the second on and the chrager is saying the polarity has switched, so I hooked it up in reverse pos to neg and neg to pos and it is charging fine...

Ethan: Did you get your dimensions? If not I can access my bar in storage if you still need them, It's a 12 volt bar but it should be identical to a 24 volt. James G.

Dabtl: If you have one left count me in! James G.

RE: Re: Wrecker Filter Question I will when I pull mine, I think for that amount of money and the fact that they have never sold one it must be washable and reusable, in any case for that price I will wait till it has to be changed! James G.

RE: Re: Wrecker Filter Question Just an update on the hydraulic oil filter located at the base of the wrecker's oil reservoir, SECO has the part but it is $168, he has one in stock but has never sold one! James G.

RE: Re: Wrecker Filter Question Guys thanks for the info. I am using hydraulic oil with the same viscosity as 10 wt. motor oil. I have looked for two months for bulk 10 wt oil. All I found locally were 5 gal buckets of it which I did use in my power steering. I could find some as a special...

Wreckerman did you win some of those for auction in Little Rock? I had a look a several of them, they were really in good shape, a guy here in town got two of them, he drove them off the lot to his house here in Russellville, some very good deals on some very clean trucks! James PS: If you are...

Light Bars I have a issue light bar for my 543 but it is 12 volt, Recovery4X4 has seen some reference to it, but I think I am going to invest into some 24 volts bulbs for a conversion.

6217 I have the ground rod and welding leads but I have never cranked up the welder. Before I do I am going to have it checked over, mine has 32 hours on the welder/generator meter. James

Just Missed a Parts Truck David: If I known you were going to restore one, a pretty good example sold at the Ok forestry dept. sale at Golsby, this summer, for $500, the guy with the salvage yard out side Hooks bought it. It was short the bumper and winch but not a bad parts truck. I have...

So Who Got it So who got the 543 in KY????? I gave up at watching at $1200, why would someone pay $3000plus for a 40 plus year old wrecker with a cracked transmission and frozen engine that had been sitting out in the woods of Ky for the last 10 years especially when the GSA guy tells anyone...
