The neck was holding it off but more so the air crossover tube,. Not to mention the extra height of the Jake's. When doing a turbo you will have to raise the hood a minimum of 2.5 inches. I just hate the bread box scoop look and wanted to keep a stock profile. Some guys turbo and run a mile of...

Sounds like the crane governor is still engaged. Lever behind seat, if it's not fully back,. Or the rear deck lever,. If either is not in the off position or the gear didn't fully disengage then the air switch will continue to supply the bimbi cylinder on the IP and the over rev governor will...

mine was in a really hard place to get to up on the inside of the frame rail... behind the MC. Take the wires off, and jumper them together, lights on= bad switch, no lights,,,,, keep looking... TM has a good diagram but may not be completely accurate in some 809 applications, there were 2...

That POS PTO shaft, boxes, and such looks strangly familiar,, except mine had Ice sickles and frost all over it last time I got intimate with that cursed contraption--- Jan 2017 at around 0*F..... Guess your going to pioneer your way into the exploration of the Samsung 350 Excavator manifold...

ahh,,, the tell tale sign of frustration,,,,,, broken sawzall blades, and torch spatter....:grd:

dang, the stiff leg situation really sucks. I have had those kind of DOH!!:doh: moments. as for the hydro tank... if the wrecker bed is the main use of the hydro system or the only hydro attachement that is going to use that much fluid,,, you could mount the tank up be hind the rear window...

Red, as far as the chassis mounted hydro tank.. a thought just occurred to me.. Our Wreckers have the spare tire and torch bottle area just behind the cab.... If that area was gutted and cut out- reinforced for the structure that runs through there-- couldn't a huge skinny upright tank be...

I have never found one inside the cab of my 816, Though,,, someday I intend to plumb one in for an air chair,,, but too many things on the list in front of it right now..... Where is your air line,,,, could it have been a locker switch????? does it go out the floor and to the rear??? was your...

I run 2 12R22.5 up on the steer axle and the standard 9/20s in the rear- couldn't find anymore 22.5s in my price range----(Free) Th 12R22.5 is the same height/diameter as the NDT 20s that most of the 809s came with, so it makes a good equivalent without adverse wear on the Tcase. I have enough...

Already taking this into consideration,. Know a few structural engineers,. Current plan is the concrete pillers embedded in the ground. Then extending the truss ends ( already pre-drilled for extensions) out about 12-14' as lean too additions which makes the original 8 points of ground contact...

Unloaded my "new to me" 40x60 I beam shop skeleton. No pole barn here,,, lucked out and found a surplus mine Butler I beam building that was dismantled years ago.. This means no center supports, with 38x58 open un restricted movement inside. Only problem is the walls are 12ft tall, thus Im...

yeh, I pretty stoked, been almost 2 years of frustration and arse scratching for something I knew was stupid simple but couldn't find it. Still think dumping the Crane governor will simplify things immensely. The 816s do most of their work off idle anyway, and the hand throttle can be set for...

Thanks Red, Reading back over this thread to update some testing yesterday. IF the 10 goes in soon- aka 2018 then I will be looking for a 939 shaft to torture myself with. UPDATE:::: I got my RPM back....:clinto: had to seal up the crane rotary motor as the bolts on the top cover backed...

AAAAHHHHH!!!!! Good ole Dayton Wheels..... Good Riddance Nice Towbar sling action shot......

Yes the little sling has been installed for some time now,. The big one is still laying in the bed,. Need to mod the bars for an extended position as the tail sits so high that the little bar comes dangerously close to letting the vehicle get hit by wrecker or hook when getting hooked up,. Also...
