    Runaway Multifuel!! Now what do I do?

    Stuck fuel control. The air cleaner housing has a port on the side that we connect to the air compressor for fording. That plus stuck fuel control is most likely why it did not shut down when he blocked off the intake air. Also this is why we always leave the fuel shut off cable pulled all the...

    Pinion brakes

    That's a good idea testing the truck so you know what to expect. They say when you are teaching your child to drive a car with antilock brakes you should to take them to a large vacant parking lot and have them do a emergency stop. That way they wont panic when the brake system does what a...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    What did I do to my 10 ton today. The front hubs are oil floating and the old axle caps did not have a drain plug. I am going to start to blend the old oil with the Lucas hub oil and do a couple of changes as I use the truck. Hope to get at least a 50/50 mix of the Lucas. My hubs have always run...

    M939 Front Axle Boot replacement.....how I did it.....

    I found sometimes it's easer to use a new longer bolt on the clamp and cut off extra when done I like the clamps that have the guide built on the ring so just at the end when you tighten the ring the boot does not get bunched up.

    Pinion brakes

    Though is was at five mph the truck should stop in 20 feet with just the emergency brake pulled and truck aired up. I would be willing to bet if I was pull just my parking brake on my 915 she will lock up at higher speeds just going to be a long stopping distance. Would hate to try it though...

    2nd PTO on M916

    What were you thinking of running? My M920 had the small auxiliary ports at the base of the rear controls and double pump on it when I got it.

    air lines - refresh

    I don't know if they ever stuck with colors for control. Red to me would be emergency. Service blue. Major air black. Maybe yellow for air brake/ air to service treadle. Seems to me color is not a problem being able to identify quick maybe. One could go with one color it up to you. AS for the...

    air lines - refresh

    The one thing I have found when I have use any dot Synflex fitting is when it seems to be tight then I tighten it even more. Then came the dot push lock so much easer and faster.

    m818 front cable winch to Synthetic conversion?

    Abrasion factor to high and the cost. Better to stick with the steel line and use damping. I have synthetic line on my 1500 pound Polaris RZR and it has very little use but it already has signs of abuse. When winding up under load you can't always control that it lays correct and the line...

    Last time I was in a glider the buzz noise was a good thing!

    Tree Rats

    Don't remind me about to furry little yard rats. Had one leave a big nut around my throttle linkage on my Chevy Z71. Real fun when the throttle stuck open.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The question has been asked before. I don't know but we will find out. I will never repaint my truck so I did it and the trailer. Seems like if you were ever to paint it might cause more prep work. When it sits in the sun for a couple of days the shine goes away and it looks much better.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    What did I do to my 10 ton today. One gallon of WD/40 and a cheap spray rig. Still need it to sit over night then light hose down and wash the windows.
