    M816 turntable trouble.

    The lube order just points to nothing and I did find this Allen head bolt. Removed it and poured in some oil but it just ran out. Looked under the truck for a turntable grease fitting but I don't see anything. The turntable wants to turn but seems like it is jamming up. Checked the drive gear...

    transmission oil change for HEMTT

    What did you do to your crane today.

    Just pulled the rod and got lucky as we broke the gland loose by hand/tool. In the pic you can still see the gland is just threaded half way in. It was break time so I snapped a pic. Dang rod must have weighted 200 lbs. but everything went as planned and no damage to seals or our backs. At one...

    What did you do to your crane today.

    Pic is putting the cylinder back together. Found a great shop in Branford Fl. to rebuild the rod called certified hydraulics and had it ready in one day. Did a great job on all the protection for shipping in the back of my pickup. I will take my stuff there again for sure. Went back together...

    pickup in jacksonville

    Yea Ray I have one but I don't know if I want to trailer it without brakes. Not that my truck could not handle it being very careful it's the sheriff or DOT I worry about. No good deed goes unpunished. Yea Believe the trailer is on the North side of Jacksonville at the Arlington truck holding yard.

    pickup in jacksonville

    He is trying to find out where it is. DRMO Jax is 100 mile round trip to Interlachen. Stark is 140 mile round trip to Newberry. DRMO to Newberry is 200 miles. Plus all I have is the 915 to pick it up and tow it if the tires are good.

    What did you do to your trailer today.

    Did not want to drill any holes, I had the pig tail so five bucks for the LED light and I now have a proper tag light and plate holder. The tabs were already on the trailer and with quick pins I can remove the whole thing if I need to.

    Allison HT740 transmission types question

    Will did you ever figure it out. My 915A2 has the HT740 and the HEMTT calls for the HT740D. From what I read the difference would be the torque converter. My 60 series engine goes to 2100rpm and the 8V in the HEMTT goes 1800 I believe. You still got any HT740's? Found this so maybe show there...

    Way to tell members.

    Hope I don't step on many toes but is there a secret way to tell if a member is a paying member? I just saw the cute little tail light that lights up when a member is on line so was wondering if there was something like that for members that help out with the cheese.

    Oil in exhaust pipe

    Agree if you don't take them out and get the engine oil and water temps up it would happen. Myself if I start it I run it, if I don't have time to run it down the road they sit till I do. I always thought that not bringing the oil/water temps up to correct temps is bad for any motor. Does not...

    Oil in exhaust pipe

    Guess the question would be does there seem to be a excessive amount of the fuel oil /engine oil mix leaking. Seems like the wet stacking is more common in generators that run longer times without a load as to our trucks. Of course there would be more unburnt fuel while we warm up the truck and...

    Runaway Multifuel!! Now what do I do?

    I have never had a problem with the screws being to tight that hold the fuel control in the Head. Also I use the O ring that came with my rebuilt Ambac Heads. Funny though this guy had a problem and not over tightening cured the sticky shaft.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuzZBicUIok

    Runaway Multifuel!! Now what do I do?

    I agree with the cut off did not get behind the fuel control. If that happened and the fuel control was just a tad tight but still moveable he could have left shut down cover off and just used his finger to pull back the fuel control to the 4 o'clock position. Very important that the fuel...
