This is a follow-up on the preceding question. Once 74M35A2 straightened me out on the sequence of operation and the need to pull forward to get the PTO to engage, I still had a problem engaging the external winch clutch. It turns out that the winch handle has an embedded ball bearing in the...

Thanks, GR. Never heard of that before, but tried it and it worked. Hallelujah. Have the TMs on my lap top in .pdf form so now I'm good to go in the barn or in the truck.

Thanks for the kind encouragement, Tony. Of course the TMs (once discovered by a new guy) should be read. I wish there were some sort of learning about HOW to search the doggone things. 8 Kazillion pages, a two page table of contents, a twelve page index and what happens if you don't know the...

I think porkysplace nailed it. On page 2-220 of the operator's TM it shows a perfect drawing of the flywheel housing drain plug. It also describes the "optional" fording kit and recommends against fording water deeper than 78 inches. I guess everyone gets the flywheel housing drain plug even...

Hi Folks. I'm a new 925A1 owner learning about a lot of systems and operations I have no experience with. Came across a kind of scary one this weekend while I was crawling around underneath trying to trace lines and wires, just for general knowledge purposes. I came across what looks to be a...

Thanks, 74M35A2. Much appreciated. Didn't know the part about pulling out cable while trying to engage winch clutch and I completely misunderstood the "do not force clutch" label.

In Illinois, as long as you don't use it commercially, all you need to drive a 5-ton is a Class B license, not a CDL. To get the B you have to take written and in-cab driving tests. Also, in Illinois, you can get a "former military vehicle" license plate. It costs $150 for a 5-ton. Don't...

I have a recently acquired M925A1 and am learning more about systems than I ever thought possible. Thus, I apologize in advance if this is a clueless or ignorant request for suggestions. The TMs are great, however I just ran across a problem I couldn't find an answer for. For the first time...

Thanks guys. You've been very helpful. Wish I had taken pictures now. I'd swear it was an oil temperature gauge right where Scar59 says an oil pressure gauge should be.

I bet you'll find these questions a little naive, but I'm a newbie. I've read a lot, but I don't have a lot of experience. Never drove or worked on diesel, Never drove automatic trans. Never drove or worked on air brakes. In any event, I just looked at an M925A1 and had a couple of issues...
