But if you see something in the pics you might be interested in message me and I can take more pics of that specific piece. If someone wants to drive to PA we can load a truck or...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I got my horn fixed tonight it was either the horn button the rusty nut or the bad looking wire. My wife is really good at putting on those packard plugs. Here’s a question where does the wire that goes down the steering shaft come out at? I looked through the TM it shows the steering shaft but...

    I changed the horn solenoid still no clunk or Horn. Pulled out the horn button being very careful not to deploy the airbag lol. The steering nut is all rusty I’m thinking a new nut and horn button might fix it if not I’ll get a hand held air horn.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Thanks for the reply I will pass the info on. I did try the headlight and blinker fluid. Now they work backwards must have been old fluid. Maybe it’s the canooter valve or the heinsberg modulator that’s causing my horn issue

    Hi guys I got a question will the PTO off of a M51 work on a M817? Wasn’t sure if the Multi fuel 5 tons transmission was the same as a 800 series. A friend of mines 817 the PTO broke off the transmission but he has a M51 and was curious if he could swap. I told him I would ask you guys. Thank you

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Good morning. I installed the In cab heater in the 818. But I can’t figure out what to power the switch too what number the TMs I looked at didn’t show it. And the old truck wires were cut. I saved what looks like a 2 way splitters from the old truck. I don’t think I can just pick one and hope...

    Hi guys after watching some videos and looking at TM, I got a question about my winch I have it installed on my truck M818 minus the drive shaft. I got the engage and drum lock to move.
