RE: M809 Sprag

Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Well so far on the board we have had two 916 with primer pump line hooked to wrong port and my 920 had the drop box pump hooked up backwards and all I was doing was blowing bubbles. Got to read, talk and look these trucks over when we get them cause someone who worked on them should not have.Congrats! I am glad you figured it out. I wonder how many 809-series trucks are out there with the air lines switched. What a PITA. That's why I like an air-shift front end.
Let me see if I get this right. If I disconnect and plug off the air supply line to the valves on the transmission, then I will not have front wheel drive permanently, but I will still have normal rear wheel drive under all conditions and I could use the M818 as if it was a 6X4 regular tractor-correct?
Just thinking the deuce has a spring that holds it out of front engagement.Let me see if I get this right.

I don't have a diagram but think you can just unhook the air feed line under the transmission cab tunnel pannel or tap into the feed line under the truck passenger side just about where the cab starts. There you will see copper turns to rubber then runs to trans. From ther you are just diverting the feed up to the dash Deuce air switch and back to the trans as it should be. No pluging of anything. The Deuce air switch also dumps air when you disengage the sprag so there should be none in the system at the trans popett valve. Thought someone said just check to see if all air is cleared the transfer cyl. by going for netrual to reverse or vise versa and lessen for it. If no noise then you should be golden to go.Could someone please post a picture or diagram of lines to disconnect and plug?
