I got it home butt still have to go back for the M920. I had front wheel bearings go out on the trip down and had to change out spindle and hub.
Good thing it did not come off and hurt anybody as made it right to OB's house. The 917 looks good and will be put back together no problem.
I would...
I saw the boxes in the 105A1 carpenter trailer and bid on it just for them. The trailer is in real good shape and the lift gate works. I got them out and put them in the 5ton bober for now. You can bolt them in or they have clips that just overlap the sides.
The 915 has a fuel heater in line above the fuel tank and looks to be connected to the block water lines. I think this might have been a good thought at the time but with age I am concerned about it now. I want to take this out of line and have a new fuel line made up. Just worried about failer...
I saw that someone on the board got one of these and just wonder about the interchange. It looks like a late code G pump and that I believe acording to the TM's has the HH that was oil lubed. If that is correct then this lower unit could not use the newer head without the oil block off kit. The...
1985 IH. I got this for the motor. Did not even know what was in it when I bid just knew it was a good size Cummins. I posted a pic awhile back and most said it was and 855. 855 240 @1800 Formula. Not a bad motor. It should fit well in a 5 ton bobber as it does not have Jakes or the water...
Have another 5 ton that had the wire not tucked into the frame and when the brake peddel came down it damaged the wire and was causing a short. Check yours and maybe have someone push on the brake peddel to make shure there is plenty of clearance.
Take it apart now and sand blast the ruff and paint the truck. More pics to come.
Took off the box / spair carrier and will make a custom rack. It's been done here but I will just add one more box on top of the one there. but the outher side where tire goes I have some 120 mm boxes that are like...
Picked up another dump from Albany and outher then little crinkle on right fender all the metal is in good shape and trace rust. I did find 1/2 of tar in the bottom of both tanks. Don't know what they put in the tanks for storage but it was the wrong stuff. i will probely just swap out with...
Went to return the 816 to day and was waliking away when I heard a air leak. Great trace it down and it is the air shift / sprag on the trans. It blew out the gasket that is on the top cover. The bolts were a little loose and this is why I think it let loose. So this is a simple 10 min. Job that...
