Wider tires might help a little.

Do you still have your M816? I have almost the whole compliment of TOE in NOS. Do you need anything?

My 816 sat for a couple of months before I tried to start it. When I did try, it would try to start but not quite run. I finally found that the throttle was sticking and not opening with the foot pedal. After I freed up the throttle shaft, it started right up and ran fine. A month later, no...

I have had slow throttle response for years. Then, a few weeks ago, it would only idle at start-up and in a few seconds it died and would not restart. To make a long story short, it turned out to be the throttle. The linkage was working perfectly but the shaft is turned by a clock spring. It...

Mine had nothing to do with the hand throttle. It just happened to happen as I was trying to use the hand throttle. My problem had to do with the injection pump and the "private" that installed it incorrectly. I don't think it would be applicable to the multi-fuel engine.

I don't think any two are exactly the same.

I don't know, but if you need one, I have one still in the crate.

Have any of your customers ever installed one in an 816?

I put HEMTT tires and wheels on my 816. They're not too bad as long as you don't ever lay them flat. They're a b**ch to stand back up, about 450 lbs.

Thanks, but all I could find was where he installed a window a/c for the box. I'm locking for someone who has installed a cab a/c. It would be the same as for a deuce except for the compressor mount.

I've searched everywhere I can think and have not found where anyone has put an air conditioner into an 800 series 5 ton. Has anyone done this?

I'd like to know where you found enough trunpet grease to grease a wheel bearing. You must have bought out the music store!

There would not be any air in the clear plastic line if the air is coming from the flame heater.

If I understand you correctly, the short piece of hose that you sucked flat is the hose from the primary filter to the fuel pump. If that is correct, then you have some sort of restriction between the fuel pump and the fuel tank. The only components between the fuel in the tank and the fuel...

I've had a few gas burners do something similar. It was sediment in the tank. When the in-tank pump is running it picks up the sediment and traps it against the in-tank filter to the point that the in-tank pump can no longer pump. The motor quits and sits for a few minutes and the sediments...
