Where does it end? Maybe after one of every model?

Don't know the difference with XM and M. mine are XM's . the light question, i use a wrecker light set. never have tried powering the towed unit electrical thru the light plug.would take a pretty long intervehical cord. it seems like they would of had a connector on the front like they do for...

tow duty

My XM818 W/W gets around 8 mpg bobtail if driven nicely. We got over 6 mpg flat towing another 5 ton tractor. and while flat towing those other tractors i was not real nice to it as far as fuel usage went. mine is turned up a little and will go thru a bunch of fuel in a hurry if not carefull.

Will, the pics above of my pump shows the upper gov with the spring pulling the lever forward. should i secure it that direction or to the rear?

I think old age is setting in. the cyl i spoke of that was under the floor on the 543 was for the air operated clutch! :oops:

what limits the rpm's ? this gov that i posted the pic of? cause with air turned on to this cyl on the pump, the rpm's will max out at about 1700. on the 543 that i had there was a larger air cyl down under the cab that worked the throtle.

with the 1600 R 20's the 3 pc hemit wheel. they will rub on the front when turned to tight, the front studs are to short and they do not track with the rear.

well my set up on the 819 works to limit the rpm not increase it. before i turned the air to the cyl off it limited the rpms to about 1700. with the air turned off it runs like any other 250. maybe this is how they limited the top speed of the truck. when it (the gov) is working the trucks top...

gov assy on my 819

here somthing for you to laugh at. my seal driver for the 5 ton hub is made from a Ford Granada front brake rotor. perfect size.

are you guys dealing with an axternal type govener? my 819 has a strange external limiting govener.

well thanks. i have yet to get the wc's but the M37's and civi power wagons are awesome. lane and i were talking today about wc's.

whats going on with the ring latched to the pintle? maybe a measurement for turning clearance?

yes there is a few of the flat fenders in the mix. they are really my first love of old trucks. and yes some of them were military vehicles.
