Thanks DS... however wouldn't 'piggybacking' a second diverter valve where you suggest pick up the highspeed pump output not the lowspeed one if so - would this be a problem? I was hoping to avoid another valve, just going with 'T's' but even on the farm tractor, I have to throw a lever before...

I Goobled the above and only found reference to an M915A5 which does not look like a Freightliner - it has double round headlights. There is a reference in an Olive Drab article to a 916A4 in the 915 section, seperate to the 916 section - a typo I am thinking... Not sure if OP needs a...

Thanks John... Trailer needs pressure to cylinder controls on trailer goose neck - operated from the ground, adj gooseneck detachment point. The idea I am following is from "remotes" I have on a farm tractor, that are pressurised by selecting a valve that does not 'kick out' while waiting...

I think you need to list your needs/likes and do pros n cons for each. Do you need a live front axle - this will lift the fifth wheel. Do you want a full on military look or a militarised civi truck - M915... either CCC or Freightliner will be cheaper for parts. Likely that cruising speed will...

Hate to correct, but actually DPG - stands for Deep Bronze Green, often called Military green and was used on most FV's from the factory (with a few exceptions) made for the British Army, which were then over painted camo or OD etc., once in service.. Next question - what is the name of the...

Here is a diagram of the inter-relationships of the parts, inc seals and bearings for the trolley frame/sheave frame connection. Also shows, from Post #4, the "Towards" reference relating to removal of the needle roller bearing. NB. There is a machined recess that the washer #28 sits in, which...

They are pretty rare everywhere except in the UK. Total production was only around 2600 - some went to Oz, some Belgium and some Kuwait. The Brits left a few in Belize and also Canada.

Needle Roller Bearing Restoration - Trolley Rollers #20 Yes - this is possible and will save megga bucks and is appropriate for this situation as the trolley rollers #21 are not exactly rotating at thousands of rpm. With a 300' recovery, they may trundle back and forth a whopping 4 times across...

Corrosion in Trolley Frame - Blocked Drain Holes Forgot to add this pic showing the corrosion to the inner bore of the trolley frame due to blocked drain holes. Potentially this could be too much grease being pumped into the ball bearings below, forced up past the felt seal. It might be worth...

Ordered pivot shaft bearing from Fastenal today. Around $25 ea. I ordered a spare in-case anyone else needs one and doesn't have access to a local store. Don't even bother with NAPA - their bearing books don't go that small. Added captions to pics in post #4. Was in the middle of doing...

Tips - continued + pics OK - good news/bad news on the broken pivot shaft #16: No luck yet on finding a replacement however on closer inspection of cleaned parts and test reassembly - there is a shoulder on the shaft that draws tight the shaft with the large nut on the bottom #17, so NOT...
