. Looks like she is coming together nicely!

. I am just fishing for ideas here but you mentioned "everything was just fine" and then it wasn't. Any particular thing that changed? Go for a spin around the block and it happened? OR maybe you went on a cross country trip, ran through a creek and now everything is "wonky" now? Ground is...

. Yes sir! On a Hi-Ranger (bucket truck) there are check valves on everything that lifts a person. Even the outriggers have checks in them so if there is a failure there that the guy in the bucket won't ride it to the ground. Maybe it is because of what it is and because buckets are...

. Lookin Good Chucky! That dark wood just makes that inside setup look really sharp. With solar panels on the roof and that custom box on the back with the "cut back" to keep from losing "approach" angle on the back is really nice.

. I find it really strange that military trucks have one big check valve on the return side (M936 in particular) and nothing more. Most derricks or small cranes have a steel check valve on the steel cylinder for the lift in particular. Hiab makes their cranes that way and have since back in...

. You are doing really nice work! Sharp looking...

. Yeah, hey it sucks when a hose breaks - but on the bright side - at least nothing was up in the air and nobody got mashed! Time to replace that hose and any of the others that might look about the same age... There are all kinds of degreaser products that will remove the hydraulic oil. Red...

. Not sure exactly what you really need - but TM 9-2320-260-24P-2 on PDF Page 132 (Figure 329) has pictures of wires and where some of them are supposed to connect. TM 9-2320-260-34P-1 mentions Front and Rear Wiring Harness on or about PDF Page 287. Both of those books are for the M809...

. Wow! Nice find for sure. It is amazing how those shock absorbers still function all these many years ago... The Model A tools were a really cool find too! I have a 1929 and there is a lot of enjoyment to be had with one...

. Yes and No. Depends on how patient you can be. The Technical Manuals explain how to do the job. Might want to start there. TM 9-2320-272-23-3 has a set of step by step "How To" directions on Page 0409-1 (PDF Page 585 in the version that I have)...

. Mogman - Very WELL said! Yep, none of us want to say Read The Book and nobody wants to hear it either - - BUT the more we hear all hear it, the more we might try it... :cool: AND eventually everybody benefits from it.

. The Hazards would normally be activated by pulling out the silver metal tab on an older SignalStat and the newer ones should activate by pulling straignt out out on the turn lever on the column. All relatively easy tugs, nothing should be forced. AND if neither of that works - maybe post a...

. Yes Sir... Needs to be updated as follows: RTFM, Page 38 in TM XX-XXXX-XXX-10 :cool: Remember, some of these fellas couldn't find their backside if they had a map and a compass and were standing beside a water tower. If the Evil Empire wants to win in a contest with this country, all they...

. Denton in April of 2022 will have a machine gun shoot as well... https://dentonfarmpark.com/military-vehicle-collector-show/

. With some sort of "lock" to keep the nut from "backing off". I have seen two regular nuts "jammed" together to lock them in position and I have seen folks use NyLock nuts if the original all steel locking nuts have managed to disappear over the years...

. It may be that they are green with envy? My trucks sometimes fight me as well, so don't think you are the Lone Ranger.

. I have done the same on several trucks and they work well for 1/5th of the cost of a Hawker. Works especially well here in North Carolina when it might get cold for a week, then seventy the next week in December...
