what is the highest and what the lowest torque on bolts where you really need a torque wrench? Or better, which torque range do I need

For those interested in what's happening on my 5-ton dump to tractor and back project, have a look on this post and the next posts. M813A1, thanks that;s what I hoped.

Not turning is what we made sure to do when redoing the filters, but thanks for the heads-up. As to torquing, like my late brother used to say, stop a quarter turn before braking. Or in plain text, don't have a torque tool yet. With our old cars, we only used them for engine heads, the rest we...

Weather: the worst thing is, at home I have a nice 50 ton ramp and large shed with all equipment needed for anything on steel work (that is my son has, time to pull in some debts he he). Unfortunately, I have to do all the crazy things out here if I want to have Dutch papers. INsurance is no...

Thianks, that's a relief to hear. They didn't pay back the 20 liters oil I spilled, the mess, and the time. And they should have profided the right ones in the first place. But yes, in general they are OK.

What about the M51A2 frame? I thought the M52A2 and the M51A2 have the same chassis.

I am new to this, so what is "regular gasket material"? I only know the modern spin-on stuff and oil houses with rubber rings as main sealing". Coming to think of it, the gasket on top of the housing, between the house and the bolt, was of similar material, like the rings in old water taps.

The people from REOMIE sent me a new set of gaskets, arrived today. Will try tomorrow, but it looks they will fit perfectly. ONe question, the old gasket was your basic flat rubber ring. This is thicker but also made of different material, greyish hard paper or pressed stuff. Anybody knows...

Next step almost completed. The first picture shows the old pintle hook, the new fish mouth coupling, and a shine new tube that made me a very happy man :jumpin: (no funny remarks please :wink: ). AS you can see, the length of the shafts are similar, but the thickness not. Fortunately, the...

The flipping upside down was on my request. I need to drill holes in the base plate and the bolts connecting the fifth wheel proper to the base plate are immovable (that is, without heavy power tools). I now also really know why the spacer wood is there: to provide room for the rivets sticking...

Been driving around with that in the back of the car for far too long. Dutch farmers have an amazing viarity of equipment. The neighbor was, it think, actually disappointed that the truck guy beat him to taking the bed off, but he was a sport taking the fifth wheel out of my private car and...

Thinks are looking up, even though the weather is still lousy. We took off the dump bed today. I thought the 8 bolds at the back would be a problem. No Sir. 37 years after manifacturing, only one bold initially put up a bit of a fight but with a lot of WD 40 all of them came of easily. The 4...

This oil gage is definitely not standard, bu it is defenitely something the US army did. Inscriptions are: MS 24540-2 MFR 09527 FARIA Corp Anybody recognizes where this gage is coming from? It reacts when the oil sensor cable is loose from the engine, it goes to 61 - 75 when the engine is...

Woodywood, Did you ever continued with your project? I am taking the dump of this weekend and will be instlalling the fifth wheel if everything goes ok.

It seems, the PTO propeller shaft yoke runs directly into the PTO case. At the other end, it has a splined slip yoke. The other end of that yoke seems to run directly into the hydraulic pump. The only strange thing is that on the pump-side of the yoke, there is a normal bolt, but I suppose there...

That's the problem, these gaskets are too small. Looking at the right side of pciture one, there might be a very narrow groove completely at the outer edge of the of the base, and very narrow, looking at the right side of the first picture. As you can see, if you put the gasket completely and...

How you know? rofl By the way, welcome. And yes, they make a @#$%@$@ mess, specially when still running. And before you ask: this happened yesterday

Nice how that transmission is sitting out there looking at the truck. Wonder if I'll ever have the time and money to get my truck in that fashion, no time soon for sure.

I first thought you are joking, but it checked out, must be a bloody record. We definitely need more women on this site if this bunch so overreacts. Be glad though that they did not all answers with smart or funny remarks ;-).

Did some cleaning work (what a mess) and finally took off the oil filter houses. I would say they were the main problem. nopics But I have a problem downloading pictures, so that will come later. If you are carefull, you can just manage to cover the filter housing with the gasket, not a mm...
