My switch shut down has never worked but I found another one of those stops that is on the end of the wire and put it ahead of the shutdown lever. Now it works like the deuce. Wayne
Probaby most flying helicopters went for state use and then into private hands. Most are pick apart for spares.
I saw a old Heuy on AX MEN that had a bad landing and the company rebuilt it from the ground up because of no replacement helicopters. Wayne
Gee, Here I was thinking, maybe because some people are "hauling my excavator with my deuce on antique plates" or "bad breaks on my trailer" and "allways overweight, brakes just passable, air lines rubbing" would be the reason they are cracking down. Never thought about the money. Wayne
Right, but the truck didn't stop, that tells me the front brakes are not working at all. This truck has a split system if one go out the other will/should stop the truck. On the master cylinder the rear compartment is for the front brakes and the front compartment is for the rear.
The rubber...
Sounds as if you have NO front brakes, if you have just been using the rear to stop and use the truck a lot it is possible to vaporize brake fluid. Soft pedal may mean water in the system and could cause vapor lock. (DOT 5 Dry Boiling point is 500 degrees fahrenheit.) Wayne
It said it is a 1958 model, maybe just a later version? The WWII Models are PE-143-B & PE-143C and listed with aircraft. Is your shop van for aircraft? Wayne
Did just adding brake fluid fix it? There should have been enough fluid in the rear chamber (rear chamber is for the front brakes)to stop it with no noticeable difference (except the brake light coming on). Wayne
For the trailer there are:
M313 Expansible Van Body at 8820 lb
Dimensions (Inside):

Length . . . . . . . . 203 in. (515.62 cm)
Width:

For the 5t the chassis is a M812A1 and listed as 20,810 while the M820 is listed at 28,195, the M820A1 is listed as 27,895 and the M820A2 is 30,195 Subtract and that should be close. The van weight are Empty W/O Winch. Wayne
I'm missing something, one Schrader valve is in the truck tube already, it has to be there.
The only reason (that I see) the Schrader valve is on the retail one, is that it will be more available for use while on the road.
Not knocking your, you do good work but the one I linked to is just for two tires and it is for balancing tire pressure. That the same end result, right? Wayne
