    Knuckle Seal

    It's real simple if your axles are the old CV ball type the you would remove the two plugs and pump in grease till it comes out the other hole. New style axles with modern type U joints the grease will never make it into the needle bearings. Looks like you have a 1970 813 and I will bet that you...

    Knuckle Seal

    What are you trying to grease when you put four pounds of grease into the knuckle? Do you have Timken ball type axles? If because it says so in the TM's then that TM was never up dated when the axles got switched to the cross style joints. The old Timken ball type needed grease. Where you want...

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    OK guys what is going on here? You are getting the hard part replacing O rings and getting the Head back in correct but messing up on the easy part. Making sure the fuel control rod moves free and correct.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    If the FDC is bypassed then the droop screw would be the same as the main fuel / twin nut adjustment. It would be easer to do the main fuel adjustment because the piston in the FDC is no longer moving. If the IP had no droop screw but had a smoke cam adjustment it would be the same effect...

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    Glad you found it and it was simple. Do believe you removed the fuel control not the plunger and yep you can check for a sticking plunger sleeve with a screw driver. That is why before we install any head we turn it up side down and watch the plunger sleeve move freely on it own till it hits the...

    Removing, rebuilding, reinstalling Hydraulic Head

    I just don't like breaking any injector line if I am not doing IP or injector work. The fittings in the lines do not come off and are special made to spin. I have see where damage was done to a injector line fitting and the OP had to buy a new line. That is why I tell people that the Deuce...

    Removing, rebuilding, reinstalling Hydraulic Head

    Myself I would not even worry about the rubber dust boots not worth the trouble. Spray some penetrating oil on the line nuts once and awhile and clean with brake fluid and air before you remove the lines if you ever have too. Find something else that's needs fixing more than the rubber dust boots.

    Hydraulic head seals replaced and now it doesn’t like to run.

    If you fell you have the timing correct lets move to the fuel control. Can you take off the shut down cover off and see where the fuel control is when the engine is off. Should look like about the 7 o'clock position. We can get a hard start if the main fuel is turned down to low. If it is set...

    Well if the TM's don't have your answer post again and I will tell you the same thing. Simple first check timing.

    Yep start with simple. Then timing then we can move to other things and Deuce injectors never need bleeding of air.

    M35A3 Wheel problems

    Guess what ever works for you. I use tire soap on the O ring and tire bead plus valve stem and so far no problem. Main thing I look for is trash in the O ring seat or damage to the outer ring. I make sure the tire bead is clean of all rust / dirt and have used sand paper or scuff pad to get it...

    M915 series, pictures of your toys

    Believe the seven speed but has to be reprogramed to open up 7th. Have not done much reading into the A4's. I have driven the Cat and yea has plenty of gears if you would ever need them. Problem is someone to fix them if they break and you can destroy the transfer case if you don't let the RPM...
