Looking for the TM on the HEMAT Trailer. In particularly - Process to turn off the airbags to load and unload the trailer? Obvious answer is to unplug the air and drain but somehow that seems like the long way around... Image is not my trailer. Too lazy to walk outside and take its picture :-(

The red one... Absolutely! Great idea.

Hauling another truck, and showing off for the camera. I am pretty sure that I need a truck like that... No, not the red one. The one with the knuckle boom on it. Looks for all in the world like a Hiab 950 boom...

Charlotte, M936 Wrecker. Just got it about a month ago. April 12th seems so long ago. Been greasing and oiling and checking things in general. Not sure that I am quite ready for a road trip yet but that will happen soon I hope. Been around the block a few times. Currently replacing a...

Once again... THANK YOU!

Is there a source for front window gaskets? The rubber on mine is cracked in a few places. Also really hard, Not much flex at all. I am guessing that is the source of the rainwater happening inside the cab. I can use a business card and slide it most of the way around the "seal" that isn't...

Hi All, These may be old tired questions but I seemed to come up empty trying to search for answers. The indicator lights in the picture below... I know for certain that the AIR LOW lamp is working. Turn on the truck, that lamp lights, the buzzer turns on and until air pressure builds - it...

Depends on what you touch... Driving a ground rod is smart. As mentioned before - you don't want to become "the path of least resistance". Your belly leaning against the metal cover could make this into a hair raising experience! Especially on a concrete floor or wet grass. Your feet on the...

That would be fantastic! Any idea where to get the hose? I found a local hydraulic shop over on Graham Street here in town... My plan had been to pull the hose off and carry it with me.

May 18, 2020: Removed the "access cover" to gain better access to the hydraulic hose that failed. According to my best interpretation of TM9-2320-272-24P-2, the rubber line that failed is P/N 12256658-2. Sad part is - if the other access cover had been in place ## years ago when something got...

Floridianson To be honest - I don't know - but I don't think the rear winch on the 936 can be operated from the cab. The way mine is configured there are two valves on the back passenger side of the truck (pictured). They are safety chained in a neutral position so soldier b or soldier c...

Bypass before it breaks the cable... As in the winch is hydraulic and has a check-valve that should "scream" and stop the pull?

I got a super deal on a muffler from Floridianson! It isn't on the truck yet, but it made it out the door and into the truck...

Question for you @JonM934, The link is for a wireless camera. I see a wire leading to the camera. You mention leaving extra wire so you can move it around. Just asking. Price was pretty darn good - but wireless seems like a bad plan if the camera runs on a battery? Just asking...

I was just getting comfortable with it. Had stood beside or behind every time - until today. Move a little, look a little, move a little more and look again... Really amazing how quickly I managed to go from leaning back and relaxed to bolt upright and moving :) . I am guessing the soft...

In the continuing adventure, today as I was retracting the Jib - nice and easy - I had a line break. The one that controls "IN" on the Jib Cylinder. It is amazing how fine the spray can be and how far it goes! What was really amazing was how quickly I got up out of the gondola, took three...

So, today is Sunday May 10th. Reporting ZERO progress. Applied the boom winch to it and discovered a leak in the extension cylinder. No motion on that left front outrigger.

First use of my rotator crane boom under a load. Seems that the Jib (extension) cylindar leaks. Guessing it needs to be repacked. Is there a source for a packing kit for it - or do I have to tear it down first and go to the local supplier?

Started this project on April 21st. Daily spraying of ATF and Acetone. Been through a gallon of each - two gallons sprayed onto the offending two front outriggers... I have no big trees around here, so I decided that enough was enough and the boom winch was employed. It isn't a perfectly...

Now you're talking! Hydraulic impact wrench... That would be the ticket. I can imagine that a hydraulic wrench might be a little heavy and awkward - but there shouldn't be any shortage of power that way. The "squad" and the "rescue" fire trucks trucks in town have a hose reel of siamesed...
