OK, Poor truck sat around for 3 months while I put in irrigation, planted seed and bought another Austin Champ. But being the show season I was really itching to get her operational. So last night I crawled underneath and decided I would trace the air thru the system. Using the diagram...

Thanx OSO. Got to work on the air system a little more. I hooked up the shop's air compressor thru a glad hand to the rear emergency glad hand (REGH) on the M923. Both primary and secondary air guages quickly got up to 120 psi and the brake pedal became hard and the parking brake button on the...

nf6x, go to the TM's section for the 5 tons. There is an application there that that has the 939's electrical and pneumatic system. You can click thru it to follow the schematic, then you can click to get more info on a component, like how it operates or what it looks like. ( M939 P2P ) bottom...

I started to work on the air system today. First I heated up the brass elbow on the rear emergency glad hand, removed it and reconfigured it so the valve would close the rear emergency line. Made sure all the glad hand valves were closed, along with the four tank drain valves on the passenger...

CSM Davis, Thank you for the info. Maybe your suggestion and all the other air brake info in this thread will help the next un-lucky soul. It wouldn't have done me much good as I wasn't able to jump start the M923 and get the engine running.. I will have to check that valve out this weekend...

Good things come to those who wait????? So Marc from SnortnBoar Transport (Shipping Wars) showed up today after lunch with my M923 on board. He is a great guy. He was willing to make the trek up to my property, over a gravel road and into some pretty tight quarters. So let the fail blog...

Problems in the passes today, so delivery has been postponed until Monday. At least it isn't running out the clock sitting on the GL site...... Guess I will have to wait to see what type of deal the GL folks have sold me.:whistle:

Let's just hope that it was all human error and that they didn't damage anything loading it. The wind here has rally ramped back up. I just hope the precipitation has passed to the east. Thanx for the support and suggestions.

Adam, that lower road is the planned area for drop off. Kind of a valley that way it can't roll to far. I am making up glad hands with pneumatic air tool quick disconnects so that i will have a pretty long air line in between. You working tomorrow? Diver said his schedule was uncertain, but...

Woo Hoo! My M923 was picked up by the hauler today and will be delivered tomorrow. Bad news was the driver says he wasn't able to build enough pressure to release the air brakes. So the drivers says they lifted the rear of the truck with a forklift and steered the M923 up onto the step-deck...
