While watching that video I noticed the plates are Iowa and then zoomed in and dang it’s the same county as me. I haven’t seen that truck around before. Now I gotta keep and eye out for it. Haha. Thanks for posting the video I in joyed watching.
Check the king pin bearings on the top and bottom of the ball at the end of the axle. There should be a slight preload on them. TM should say how much. It’s adjustable by shims. I know on Jeep’s if they are to loose and worn out it can contribute to a death shimmy.
Was just doing some repairs and checks on the M211 I use for hauling grain. I noticed the pinion flange on the center axle was lose. So I dropped the drive shaft to tighten the nut up and the flange was free to spin. Turns out I broke the right side axle shaft right off the cap where it is...
I had the same thing happen on my m816. When the hydraulic pump For the boom is put in gear there is a throttle stop engaged under the hood on the side of the engine to stop you from overreving the pump. There is some linkage under the bed that controls that. I had one of the pins came out of...
Yeah you can do that to isolate the transmission but would still be turning some part of the transfer and sometimes that ujoint assembly can be a pisser to get out. The front shackles pins are 7/8” if I remember correctly. I use tractor drawbar pins for them, they are hardened, you can get any...
I got some free time to look into it. There were some problems on the way it was grounded. How anyone thought it would work right the way it was done is beyond me. I’ve corrected that and it seems to work fine now. I’m gonna be running it a bunch this weekend so that will be a good test. Thanks
Hi all I bought an M274 A5 that has lights, alternator, battery, and starter installed on it. The problem is when the machine is running and you turn on the lights it kills the engine. I haven’t dug into the problem yet. Just thought I would throw it out to everyone before I tare it apart for...
If you do end up repowering with a different engine and trans and don’t have a need for the 302 and hydra. I might be interested. My big drawback from that machine was transporting it but sounds like you got it covered.
I use Case IH Hy-Tran oil in all my g749’s. It’s not cheap but it’s made for heavy use in ag equipment transmissions that have clutch’s and gears and a shared hydraulic system. It’s good stuff
The engine I did that on wound up having other problems and I swapped a different 302 in it’s place. I didn’t back any bolts out but still bent some but it was a nice way to put a lot of pressure to it slowly. As far as separating a junk 302 from trany I have dropped the crankshaft out the...
I have pulled the torus cover off and used a portapower or hydraulic jack on the flywheel bolts to spin the crankshaft to free it. Then but new bolts in after
Probably 6 or so. Looking through the catalog posted buy Duuane I might have found a replacement. I will check with a heavy truck parts supplier near me to see if it’s available. Hopefully I’ll have some luck.
Has anybody got a source for LH wheel studs p#501246? I haven’t had much luck finding new ones and I’ve just about exhausted the take offs that I’ve been using. Thanks
