Funny enough I bought the small Hyster forklift from RRAD that GL owned when they croaked. It put holes in so many canned transmissions, crates, etc.. I call it the "Hole Puncher" :mrgreen:

When I see a fee imposed for my "convenience", "support", "value", etc this quote always come to mind: “It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grammes a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced...

I'd call some tire guys and get more specifics. I googled them before and no where does it say for on-highway use on any published .pdf. To be fair, it doesn't say the opposite either. Features & Benefits Applicable for use on soil, sand, and grassy conditions. Strong tread block connected...

They will only load RGN trailers if you have a non-runner. They have a large forklift to lift the rear of the truck and push it up on the trailer. All other loading support is non-existent.

Yes, pretty standard for poor prep before CARC. Chisel off the big flakes then power wash it. Use OSPHO in a 1 gallon spray bottle and let it set. Steam clean again and paint/reseal as you see fit.

MGVFD - There's some fear mongering going on.. don't be frightened of these trucks, A1 or not. I know the A&M forestry service is doing their part to turn over trucks to departments in need such as yourself and they're not experts on this equipment. I wish Brian was still head of the program, I...

Oh know, I was there when it was revealed on SS. You'll like the MTVR once you get your hands on it. I feel it's much more thought out and "traditional" by design. I'm only ahead of you by a mere month when it comes to acquisition of these things. At the end of the day it's a Cat and Allison...

It makes busting filters free easier. rofl

I recommend a rubber block to put in-between them just to be safe. Knowing Murphy, when they touch it won't be when you're sitting at home in a dry space with all your tools.

To what extent was this rebuilt? Full on down to the frame or just major components i.e. canned engine and etc?

This was just posted on a GP item today. Looks like our unknown wires are IR controls.

Of the 3 MTVRs I have, all idle around 10-15 psi. One truck has a freshly rebuilt engine with 3000 miles on it and it only idles at about 17 psi cold. I too was concerned about oil pressure but that is in spec says Cat. Now my Big Cam 400 loves oil pressure and will have 80 psi cold and idle hot...

I'll submit my M113A4 that's back from repaint. Photo is from this 4th of July.

I don't know what they're for either BUT on all of my MTVRs they're diked off and don't have any affect on the operation of the truck.

I quote it daily.. though it appears it's a repeating problem for MTVRs. I'm not complaining.. keep divesting good trucks with easy problems for me. rofl

Howdy Chief, I may be able to give you some direction as I just revived THREE MTVRs that were slated for divestment as non-runners all for fuel related issues. Definitely sounds like you have a fuel issue. If able, pressurize the fuel tank with 7 psi of air and crack the bleeder on the fuel...

Late to the party but chain hoist. No joke. Put it through the yoke eyelets and wrap it around the other axle. Pull it tight then one firm yank and it will come free (assuming you've removed the nut holding it in place already). I learned this from an old trucker and have been successful for the...

Hmm.. M1081A1.. with a C7 engine? The "Christmas lighting" sounds like the weird power issue that the later A1R trucks have that people commonly call the "disco lights".

Anyone can do it. Ask for "inside sales". The real issue is do they want to deal with you or do their metrics show they make more $$$ sending it to auction.
