Let us know how it works out getting your truck serviced at Yancy. I know when someone at my local Cat house even THINKS about my D3 crawler, they send me a bill for $1000!
These were factory installed on maybe 5% of the trucks. The truck will have a different NSN with winch. There is a lot to it, PTO, hyd pump, hyd reservoir, fairleads front and rear, tachometer pod on the dash, and the DP winch itself. I opted to buy a with winch truck even though it was...
A picture I ran across today at JSC Houston. Apparently shows the Saturn rocket on display there upon arrival by barge in Houston. Looky who was along for the ride. This would have been in 1977.
I think the connection between the M26 and NASA is this: Marshall Space Flight Center, where...
I think they are worth around $3000 in "as is running condition". I will have one for sale in January as soon as I can reinstall all the tractor items.
The fuel tank is in the correct location (45 gallon) and so are the air tanks. No spare on the tractor. The fifth wheel is the same as 5 ton excluding the 900 series. The ramps for the back of the frame are difficult to find on the loose. The catwalk can be fabricated, but the quarter...
Running a NA engine without the muffler will be too loud. Since the stack is smaller diameter, just get your local muffler shop to make you a new stack exhaust using your rusted one as a pattern.
I would pull the axle shafts to flush the wheel ends out. Then refill with GO90 and run about 20 miles, then drain and refill again. If it has been driven full of water for long, it is likely the ring and pinion is damaged.
I for sure wouldn't drive it until you have gone over it from stem to stern. BAE may call these "ultra reliable" but experience here on this website tells otherwise. One guy had the front pinion bearing seize, another had the air compressor seize, another had water pump failures, all driving...
About the most you can pick up and swing without boom jacks is 6300lb. The limitation is not the outriggers, it is the strength of the boom support superstructure. It will bend when overloaded.
Advice? Check an unknown truck over before driving on the highway. If the cab could not be raised, it's kinda hard to even check the oil, much less the power steering fluid. The PS pump is driven by the air compressor, so it could have seized as well.
To bench test it, install the plugs and wires, and connect a 24V source to the connector and distributor housing, and spin the shaft by hand. It will be obvious if it is working. Check for corrosion on the points first.
That's rebuildable. Take it apart and replace the diaphragm with modern material. There will be a rivet holding the center of the diaphragm to the actuating arm, you will have to carefully unswage the rivet so that you can reswage it.
Guys I have a supplier for the rubber track that the door windows slide up and down in, p/n 5330-01-434-2867. The price is $75 each, and we have to buy 4 total. I need one, are there buyers for 3 more? Please send me a PM.
