I'm installing an 'Air Brake Hand Control Lever' to my 816 and need assistance from 'tractor' owners on plumbing and connection. M818/819... 900 series or CCC owners.
TM's (800 series) do not show schematic of lines or hookup of this hand valve. (Guess who I PM'd just to make sure!) All there is, is the basic schematic in the -10 TM and install of new valve on steering column in the -20 TM, but it does not detail installing new lines, their routing or connections down below.
I potentially have a 900 series valve as it has three hose hookups where as the 800's TM only refers to removing two hose adapters....
Before anyone questions my motive, I am following an accepted military modification ** (undocumented at this point in my searching) for this specific vehicle. It was intended for heavy towing and control of 'load'. I am doing this as a correct restoration NOT necessarily for future use - yes, I could just put the lever on the column and hide the hoses under the dash, but that is just wrong!
Thanks. PM if you want - I will combine and detail/document all info as I proceed so this can become a source of future reference untill I can find original maintenance bulletin - if it exists.
