Think Red was looking for the winch related stuff, I was curious about the Crane pump config due to mine dumping the CVs

Do I see, hydraulic outriggers, ground spades in your future.......?????

Thanks Red, that volume had the diagrams I was looking for,,,,, ouch,,, says to pull the whole boom, set it on the ground, and use an overhead trolley crane/chain hoist to pull the inner boom out of the outer boom. Then pull the cyl out of the inner boom..... yuck.... will have to look at...

planning on using the wet kit on the trans,,,, by having to move the T case back, it will put it into a crossmember, and thus I don't really want to rodeo shafts again. the 138 is live feeding our pwr dividers all the time, and that would put a lot of stress on a hydro unit unless a shift...

pondering my delima, To remove the captive extension cyl from the internal confines of the boom.... I could pop the pins and let the internal eye fall, turn the boom 45 or 90 of the bed and pull it out the rear of the boom. Now for re install,,, I could theoretically tie a block of wood to...

looking at a coating of hydraulic oil all over my toolbox/deck of the 816,,,, Yup its time to address the telescoping extension cylinder in the boom. Anyone got a diagram or schematic of the "correct" way to open that beast up.... Looked in the wrecker sections of the TM but found mostly winch...

Thanks Jeff, But I know where my weak link is,,,,, it just needs re-engineered. Did the shoes immediately after I got it, and put all new springs on at the same time. couple miles down the road I could smell it, adjusted, and adjusted and came to the conclusion that if its adjusted up to...

Yes,,,, I was referring to dumping trailer air on my air braked 12 ton tag trailer so as to not have to take a dust bath when the glad hand is un hooked at the rear of the wrecker. I was also referring to the ease of being able to dump the trailer air and use that ( with common sense applied)...

as far as a penetrator, I use the purist form of Iodine that I can find from the tack store mixed with a little diesel or Kerosine. Freed up a lot of stuck pistons and manual trans that way, but it takes time letting it sit for a few days while bathing it or allowing it to sit in a bath of...

Yup, that's pushing 13' alright.... although this may be easier than thought, look at the rear of the trailer, the rear tail has a taper to it on the underside. I would bet its a landoll which has a hydraulic tilt and slide for the bed, So it can be loaded like a rollback. best way to...

or,,, I can sell you my setup for about what I have in it, when I put the Eaton Fuller 10 in and go hydro..... All kidding aside, holler at me and I can give you part numbers and diamensions etc.... Yes, sucks being a test dummy but now someone else can learn from what Ive gone through and not...

So,,,,, any word as to how this all went down,,,,,, Pics please,,,,, I love seeing redneck loading methods, makes me feel like a pro....... Wrecker wise,,, it would take me a week to get there, turbo and all.....

Davis:. Yes the plan is to get rid of all of the shafts down there. Goal is to put in an Eaton Fuller 10spd or bigger,. Run a 2stage wet kit off the trans and do away with the power divider due to t case being pushed back for trans install. The wet kits that i have run on petes and...

Thanks SD, i will talk to my financial department-wife about a set for the 816

Yes this shaft is the Achilles heel of the 816,. Keep the cv's happy and they will serve you well but when it goes get ready to part with some serious coin

I found a donor engine with the parts,. Look up M816 Jakes and Turbo in the 5ton hotrodding section for parts list and instructions. Tough to type on small phone screen

Will, Link is broke,,, just goes to Quickserve... what ever you decide to put on there is going to be more restrictive than stock, the old 855s of the 70s didn't really care as long as it wasn't pure sludge,,, Im swapping mine out for a homebrew setup with either a single or double FS1212...

yup, the deuce is a good place to start, Lot less hassle legally, and a lot of options for mods at a lesser cost to you... This is turning into a "how can I skirt the reg thread" really fast, This guy is in Nevada, so he needs Nevada Facts, not opinions. Thing is if he gets the 5 ton...

bolted in like a frame extension at the rear bumperettes. there was a 5th wheel version and a dual axle trailer version. don't remember the mod # but spent some time crawling over the pics on Gov Liq... about 2-3 years ago when I was looking for my 816 Davis probably knows what they are....

each state is different. and the answer that your going to be held to is the one at the DMV in your local area... threads about skirting the law or regs are often closed or disappear. If your new to this and don't really have a use for the truck aside from tinkering with it in the backyard on...
