Seems I remember Trango (or maybe Vintage Iron)... stuffing a 9 or 13 spd if I recall into either an 800 or 900 series truck some time back... I have heard that the T case has to be moved back some and the front drive shaft tends to hurt the process of a twin counterbalance trans...

Eriks surplus has some adapter plugs for about $125 that will adapt the military plug to a 5,6, or rv style trailer. The LED thing im trying to hash out now as i have no lights on my trailer even after leds and an adapter plug. There are converter boxes that do the conversion as well as the 24...

the Rocker boxes on both of my NHC/NTC 250 and 350 both have Japan cast into the aluminum....... I dont know but one is a 1977 and the other was a reman in 1989. Cummins isnt the all American boy that most folks think they are..... even back then.

:popcorn: Im patiently awaiting the the outcome. I need a good answer to this for my 816.......

For instance, i live at 4500 ft elev. The 816 weighs 36,000 as it sits, my 12 ton trailer is roughly 7,000. My JD450C crawler loader/backhoe is 21,00. So just the truck with the mods will go down the road ok, untill i start to climb the 2 mile 6% grade near me, ok, empty just the truck it...

I second Wreckerman. I do exactly what your asking with an 816 wrecker. I have added jakes, turbo, duel fuel mod, fuel button etc, i wish i had air brakes and at LEAST a 10 spd tranny. Questions,,,,, 307-282-0773 Joe Good luck

Ok, that is normal, if the clutch can is working, the truck clutch will be on the floor when you activate the rear air lever (johnny bar, its a johnson bar from a semi tractor) if your air leak is heard after you activate the johnny bar, then you have a leak in the copper tube and or the can

Is the rear air lever actuating any air at all? If there is an air leak near the transfer case it sounds like the pwr divider line is leaking air and your air isnt making its way to the rear controls

You are engaging the power divder behind the seat, trans in 3rd or 4th, tcase in nuetral. Then engage rear air lever, shift rear winch in nuetral/disengaged, shift crane to engaged, then release rear air lever. Correct?????. If the rear air lever isnt working, the same can be accomplished by...

Not planning on salina, but i will be coming into Kansas City from the north then due east. If a load could meet me in KC i could move it from there on in. Andy i can bring the troopseats that oilfeildroughneck has that you expresses interest in

Empty 24ft gooseneck headed east in mid to late Nov 2015. Picking up a sawmill in western NC to bring back to WYO, So if anyone needs something towed east I will be headed I90 through SD, down through Iowa to Northwest MO, diagnal across MO to I70 in St Louis to Kentucky, then across TN to...

ordinarily I would agree with you,,, however Im not dealing with the big 3' diam oaks that I grew up around in the southern Appalachians,,, out here a large sagebrush is considered a tree and if a Ponderosa Pine is 8" in diam its considered old growth..... Im just pulling 10-15ft logs more...

Clutch needs work. Can't control it from the rear controls. Check the air can on the pass side that actuates the clutch for the rear controls.... if need be run a new air line (plastic air brake line) to the can, and retest. If the can is not expanding, DO NOT BUY from the suppliers...

Thanks 73M819 Thats the info I was looking for, just didnt want to spend $300+ on a 100ft of cable to find out. I actually rethreaded mine with 1/2 when I snapped the original cable.... bought some chokers and made a logging choker cable out of the remnants. This is the "Beckett that I...

went to move it up the hill the other day to do the fuel button swap and finish scrounging together the dual fuel, but the batteries gave up the magic smoke...... tryed in vain to jump it but it wouldnt have it.... Luckily a week before it did jump off and I was able to take an old Air Cav...

I couldnt find the clevis type end for mine thus I used a Crosby Becket instead. This is the type that is used on the big commercial cranes. the setup threads the cable down thruough and back up with a wedge and ubolt to hold the tail, easy water drain, easy visual inspection and easier to...

Pulling a recovery for a rancher the other day and ended up with major mud in the eye..... backed up to the ravine he had dumped his truck into and attempted to engage the rear drag winch. No can do, the rear controls were not actuating the truck clutch.... Ok so Ive blown an air line.... I...

thats cool, I have never worried about my park brake switch as my park brake wont hold my 19 ton M816 anyhow. The switch your using is for a Jake brake and yes they are very cheap compaired to factory OEM equipment. If that retro fit switch is more than $20 look elsewhere, as your getting...

Well,,,, sprung for a pyro at napa the other day,, I hate mickey mousing things but I needed to run the truck so the pyro is held to the top of the dash via one of the defroster screws. will find a permanant mounting location that the shifter wont destroy later. So draggin the dozer up a 6%...

Moved a neighbor rancher's outhouse at their hunting cabin... filled the hole with the backhoe, and nothing got dropped in the hole...... luckily it hadnt been used in a long time.
