That is very nice looking 819...now I'm jealous... enjoy!!!

73m819

keven at star elect. has the work bulbs, there is NO hy.filter, the tm calls for a tank drain, my 819 does about 60 at 2000, at 2100 im close to 65, a filter is on my todo list, thats my 819 in bfrs pic of the towbar from **** lift, i just found 14 brand new 1200x20s, ndts, i had been looking for about 2 years, with the higher road speed, i run about 1700 to keep from running over a little deuce if one is in front of me (other then if one is towing the 819 ) check out my 819 pics in the photo album, i got a full set of belts from john winslow, along with the hard to get lower rad. hose, glad to see another 819 here, all sprag with air shift for forward and reverse sprag, there is a mwo for these, this is for a air switch that shuts the air off to the control valves on the trans, this allows the sprag to drop into neutral, this is for towing, (you can get stuck if the switch is not on ) a cucv makes a nice wheel chock for a 819,

the fuel solenoid has a thumscrew that you can turn in ,this open the fuel solenoid so the cummins will run without electric power, if there is no engine kill, you wont be able to shut the thing down unless you turn out the thumscrew

how many 819s or 246s are there on sits now, remember everybody has a deuce, only Gods chosen few have a 246 or a 819,

Wow big thanks 73m819 for that IP fuel tip, and light bulb source. Yeah I guess a hydraulic filter will be added in the future, no rush. When shifting into First-Reverse I do hear a very audible "pufftssst" of air.

Now a question for Sir Doyle and company:

What would be an appropriate ratio of wreckers to all other 5Ton truck versions produced? 1:100? Would the M809 series ratio be similar to the earlier M62/M246 or even WWII production figures?

M1075

I've got an M819 and haven't seen this air switch. If installed, where would it be? Is this MWO common to all of the M809 series?
