    Tried to be slick.....

    ......But it didn't work. Thought I could raise the rear end of the 816 so it would be easier to switch out the tires. Tried booming down on the pipe stands, and also winching up at the same time. Guess it just doesn't have enough a$$ to lift itself.

    End of my rope!

    Been trying to resolve the braking issue on my 816. It all started when I attempted to adjust the brake shoes. Found that the adjusting cams were frozen; ended up replacing all of them. Next, rebuilt the master cylinder, still mushy pedal. Also determined the airpack wasn't operating properly...

    923 Hood Adjustment

    Since I can't access the TM's, hopefully someone can tell me if the 900 series hoods can be adjusted. I tried loosening the bolts on the front hinges, but they don't want to budge. Any help is appreciated.

    Another 2-man recovery

    Since I'm no longer trailering my goodies, I had to enlist the help of Floridianson to help me drive back a couple of recent GL wins. After a quick fluid check, jump start, and hookup of the 1009, we headed down the road back to Florida. Only glitches were a sticky gas pedal on one, and a loose...

    Did you know....

    That all this damage MUST have been caused by the "chain we use to pull all the trucks around that don't start". aua I move a LOT of vehicles around, and I have yet to figure out how you "pull" a tractor, and are able to back it in a corner against a fence with a jersey barrier next to it...

    A nifty tool for fuel leaks....

    Came up with this idea for all you guys trying to find air leaks in your 800 series truck fuel systems. I know a lot of guys have problems with the IP losing its prime, so just pressurize one of the tanks, and look for leaks in the system. Some are hard to find, but wet hoses/connections make it...

    Anyone know the trick?

    Trying to remove the end case of the winch. The engagement handle is froze up, and the seal needs to be replaced, also kinda rusty inside so I want to make it right. Looked through a bunch of TM's last night, but couldn't find actual instructions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Anyone seen one of these?

    I have seen a LOT of deuces, but never one with split seats on one side. Just wondering if anyone else has run across one of these. The deuce served in Europe, has rear-facing turn signals, non-turbo w/muffler.

    MK-17 Gear Ratio

    I have looked thoroughly for the gear ratio for one of these units, (no tag on the differential, and no TM located). I am hoping someone who is still active duty or has experience with these units could help me out with this. Thanx, Pete.
