Hello All! I did my homework and read on here for a few hours before I decided to post my question. I recently had the good fortune to salvage some parts off of a M543A2W Wrecker (do not know why the 3 is in there). The pump is a Ross HF64-R. Has anyone had any luck with this model installing on...
I gotta say alot of you say how she doen't look to bad. Well consider her like that girl you see at 50 yards and shes walking toward you and as she get closer you think, "Holy catfish" my impure thoughts just got ruined. Well as you get closer to the truck you can see she is a rust bucket. I am...
I late following up on this but I just got back from vacation. I did not get the steering arm from the M54 and I had to use a hot wrench to get the ps ram out. I just took the reservior, ram and pump. So the question is, how does this work if it is not connected anyway to the steering box? Is it...
Although she is not something you would restore do to all the rot I did get some good upgrades for mine. Main items are an air shift TC, heater and a good drivers seat frame with springs and shock. Started parting her out yesterday. I do not know who put runs on her side but she don't. There was...
Howdy all. I sent an earlier post back in Jan but never got any responses. I am about to install hydraulic assist. Has anyone done what I asked in the post before this one? I would appreciate the imput. Many thanks, Griff
Speddmon,
I know what you mean after reading TM's and scematics. So for simplicitys sake what would help my piece of mind would be this. I have a 1986 White multifuel MSR located on the right side covered by the air filter. I imagine that this is normal locationfor this engine. Question, what...
Thanks Bjorn. I imagine I can figure it out. My problem is that I do not have wire No. 10 on the bottom post of my MSR. I do not have wire 10 at all. But if C (ground) post on MSR represents the small post on top that has nothing connected to it and A post is the 3/8" post directly below C and...
When I went to start my Deuce for the first time it didn't. I traced the wires and found that the two wires from the solenoid to the magnetic start relay were disconnected. I have a different set up than what shows on the wiring scematic (less wires) so I just want to make sure. So in a...
Here is the start of my project. Got the 5 tons springs installed. Now at least I can move her around easier. I must say she sure is narrow in the hips until I flip those hubs. Instead of poker night, I have deuce night every Tuesday.
I am actually doing the same thing with the hemmt wheels I picked up. I going to knock out all the studs from the rim and will drive them through the 1/2" adapter plate that I am having water jet cut. After cutting I will bevel the holes for the lugs on the drill press. The water jet will also...
I have not done the reaserch on specs. My cost was free. Here is a pic of the way they orginally had the hydraulic assist ram on the M54. I figured why cant I use the same belt driven pump and reservoir and just clamp the ram to the tie-rod. Anybody ever do that?
Has anyone used the kit where the cylinder body is just dead ended to the wheel linkage and the ram is clamped horzionally to the side of the tie-rod? I am thinking of doing this with an aftermarket kit I salvaged off an old M54. Difference is that it is hydraulic and the ram was welded on the...
I bought my deuce fully intending to bobb it. Why, becouse it is the coolist looking bang for my buck truck out there. Where else can you get a truck all those parts at pennies on the dollar of orginal value. I'm just starting on mine but I know that doing all the work myself will be no walk in...
Rob, that Visionaire seems to be the best option for a Heater AC combo. It looks simple compact and a clean installation. I do not see alot people suggesting those on here. Is this your first use of that unit? Does it work like a heat pump? How many greenbacks will it set you back? You project...
For the final product I intend to run singles in the rear. I am also going to relocate the fuel tank and battery box to the port side so I can relocate the exhaust to the starboard stern. I salvaged a nice set of brackets off the M54 that have the exhaust in that same location. You can see in...
I am not here to steel anyones thunder. Just want to express my happiness that my Bob project is finally on its way. The ole girl leaves GL after 56 days. I also want to pay tribute to the old M54 who gave up her parts so my Bob could become a reality. This is a great site. Thanks to all who...
