    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    If you know of someone near you with a FLU419, you could do a plaster cast of their tool tray and then possibly form your own tool tray out of ABS or whatever makes sense. You would then have an almost perfect copy of the tool tray.

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    If you look in TM 5-2420-224-24P-2 on Pages 106 and 107 you will see the tool tray, Item 26. Name: Tray, Pneumatic Tool P/N: 419-585-70-44 NSN: No NSN Assigned CAGE: 64678 Daimler Trucks North America You will likely need to find a FLU419 that is being cannibalized to find that tray. Also...

    FLU419

    Have you looked everywhere for the wrench? I thought my FLU419 came without the wrench as well and found it under the drivers seat in the corner of the box. Mullaney's idea will work great for the hood, but you also need the other end of the wrench for the battery box. If you can't find...

    M36a3 who has one? How rare are they?

    No way would I chop up that truck and bob it. Those are very rare and a nice truck.

    M35A3 underhood insulation rivets - size?

    No photos of tearing out the insulation. My steel hood was so rusted under the insulation I simply took it to the transfer station for recycling. I believe the problem is that water leaks past the seams on the center piece of steel on top of the steel hoods and soaks the insulation with water...

    M35A3 underhood insulation rivets - size?

    I trashed all of that insulation under my steel hood. I plan on trashing the insulation on the side panels as well but haven't yet. That insulation causes rust if you have a steel hood. I located an NOS fiberglass hood years ago and it is far superior to the cut and widened steel hood that...

    front right suspension: front grease zerks drives me crazy - SOLVED

    Replacement zerks are not very expensive. Whenever I have a zerk I can't get grease through, I go ahead and replace it. If there is still a problem because of hardened grease in the joint, I then use one of the hammer tools.

    M43 engine swap

    Years ago I drove a 1967 M37 that had the engine swapped for a Ford tractor diesel. The truck was used underground in a marble mine. It ran good at low speed and I only drove it underground in the mine, not on the highway. I have no idea about the transmission, but the truck used the same...

    Folding ladder for front bumper ideas.

    The two deuces I've owned both had the standard folding step and they worked great. The folding step on my M35A3 is mounted on the passenger side due to the presence of the oil tank for the hydraulic-powered winch on the drivers side. I agree that using the folding step without the pin...

    Finding brake line parts

    Are you talking 6 mm ID or 6 mm OD? Have you checked with EI? A lot of places sell 6 mm OD brass and stainless compression fittings, including Amazon.

    Dipper pin is giving me grief

    If you need to take it apart and are concerned, there is a Case dealer fairly near you in Greenville. I've bought some odds and ends Case parts from them in the past. They are very friendly and easy to deal with and have a Service Dept. You might want to call them and see what they would...

    Dipper pin is giving me grief

    I would keep pumping grease in it like Guy said and exercising it. Taking the pin out is probably not that difficult with a big hammer and then cleaning rust off of the pin and out of the holes. Putting the pin back in may be a real pain due to alignment issues.

    Which NOCO Genius Charger for MEP-803A?

    I wouldn't want to disconnect the alternator on my MEP003A because it is trailer mounted and I occasionally and sometimes frequently move the genset temporarily to remote areas of my property for temporary power, sometimes for days at a time. I find it no real inconvenience to simply pull the...

    FLU419 SEE HMMH HME Owners group

    You saved me some time - thanks. The hose on the passenger side is completely broken in two. I'll replace both sides. They are very easy to get to. I'm sure that is the problem.

    Backhoe not working?

    I think when they say not to drive it with the PTO engaged, they are talking highway speeds. On page 97 of TM 5-2420-224-10, under 'Moving The Vehicle', the manual states: 'PTO must be disengaged or pump will be damaged' before moving.
