Doghead we love your gruff TM, Elvis loving Yankee self. Don't quit being helpful.
WV New Guy slow down, Doghead is a good guy and is trying to help. I honestly thought he was like this 80 year old fart when i first got here, also his constant read the TM's is needed as you would not believe...
This part is true
This is not 100% Doghead the military had those shrader valves put inthe head of the bolts so you could release air out of the canister as you are pushing fuel into the system. But it isn't there to put air in, you also need to keep a metal cap with a seal in the cap on...
In the past I have used bee's wax with good success just melt it and dip or brush it on. But I think cosmoline would be a good thing also.

This appears to be a 3 port swivel which I will confirm this afternoon when i climb under the truck for pictures, the port over the data tag is for bypass when the valves are all closed I believe as it goes into the side of the tank but not sure why it would go through the swivel.

Yes you are correct for all but boom down #6 is not powered it is just dump valve, guess I was half asleep.
As to running the quick disconnects that is "to much sugar for a dime" for me. And a 9 port is out of reach beyond the price of full electronic remote control. But if you guys want the...
And this why you should lube your cables, but Ron i will say that all of the dry cables i have seen on military trucks were where the sun and rain beat them dry. I personally think a well oiled cable inside a well oiled canvas cover will fair better than an exposed well oiled cable. Vinyl or...
The cover is not just to stop water from getting on the cable, but trash and dirt out which will damage almost any part of the winch. That said i also understand lots of maintenance will be a overall better option but most of us don't have the time or money to do tge intense maintenance to...
He should be given a copy for free if that is what they are citing as reason to not title. And if he ask nice. If they make him pay i will spot him a few bucks

Be careful with your boom out that far pulling around corners without the travel legs down it puts a lot of stress on your rotator gear box. It could damage it. They are strong but looks like you are at about 15' of boom so every 1000 lbs you pull sideways is like 15,000 lbs of torque you are...
I would like to just say to my fellow Steel Soldiers please quit talking down or negative to our other brothers who are trying to enjoy their MV's legally. Take a breath and see where you can stand behind them. The final outcome of all of this should help all MV owners.

I believe that the 816 has a slip ring for the lights so it can still go 360.
Yeah I know it has a swivel with electric slip ring.

My 936A2 will bust you head on the windshield, you have a problem. I would start by checking all the check valves.

My-my ain't that the pot calling the kettle black!
As to moving the hydraulic tank down, I don't see a reason why you couldn't but no good reason to do it. The hydro swivel will need to remain the same because you are still moving the same amount of fluid up and down.
I have always wanted to...
