    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.

    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

    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.
