Yesterday in-between raindrops I decided to replace the 2 torn off mudflaps in front of the middle axle. Looks like the tires drove over them going over a curb or something tall. (mudflap got caught between the object and the tire). I had some conveyor belt material that I got from a member...
It was discussed before here in other threads. I do not remember the reasoning. But the consensus was that it should be on the ground side. I rerouted the ground from the NATO receptacle to the switch as well. Here is how I did it on the M923: There are 2 wires on one side of the cut-off...
Thank you for the info. I have 2 brand new CAT versions of that kill switch in stock. I already installed one in my M923 a year or so ago. Hopefully you used it on the ground side of the circuit.
Since it was raining today I didn't have much time to spend on my M820e2 project. I did manage to install a vinyl coated steel cable to lock the steering wheel in order to deter theft. I also borrowed a door weatherstrip from my soft top frame to replace the missing piece on my passenger side...
Yesterday I scraped the writing off the 2 windshields. I installed 2 ANCO wiper assemblies to replace the old style windshield wiper assemblies.
I also managed to drill and install the 2 additional bolts to the base of the springer set that I had installed on the passenger side.
Had some trouble starting the truck. I had been running it in place to use the liftgate to load drums of oil into the box. Ended up borrowing the fuel filter bowl and cartridge from my spare M923 truck since I didn't have any spare filters in stock. Got her running again! Left the 24 volt...
I made a dense foam and vinyl cap that fits over the new starter relay to protect the unit from any shorts. The rubber used was recycled from padding found in a military case.
Today I decided to finish installing the sun visor and aluminum backing plate in the ceiling of the M820. When I measured it I found that the 48" long plate was not long enough to attach the sun visor to. It needed to be extended. All I could find was a piece left over from the road sign that...
I would like to put 14.00-20 on the M820 but I am not sure i can afford it yet. I am already going with super singles on my M923 and leaning towards 14.00-20 on my M936 wrecker. I can always upgrade the M820A2 to the 11.00-20 G177 tires from the NDTs that are on there now. I will have at least...
I thought about it quite a bit about the seat height last night. I decided I wanted to raise it higher to get more comfort in using the brake and clutch pedals. The easiest way i could think of was to add another layer of Unistrut channels on top of the existing ones. I went to the supply...
I started to work on the air ride seat mod on Sunday. Removed the springer seat. Cut 2 pieces of 1/16" sheetmetal to the same dimensions of the metal base of the springer seat. I used the springer seat base as a template to mark the holes for the bolts that secure the seat to the floor.
