Certainly I would be interested in a 2.5 and 5 ton set. I have three CTIS seal sets on my M936 that need replacement at the moment. My 2.5 ton will be here about summertime so I see both of these tools being a good investment for me. Like the axle sockets for the trucks. I would also be...

Boyce is in a different subset of business than a lot of surplus guys here. Boyce is in the "we build them the way you want them" business not the "cheap surplus" business. They are not the best deal. What they are is for guys that don't have time, or don't want to make the time, to build one...

450 to 500 is just fine. If you're using Centigrade. That would be 842 to 932 F. Of course it will be the only metric aspect of your truck..... :)

I recently got around to making the tool I needed to test wheel seals per the TM each wheel. It's not totally necessary to plug the QRV off but be advised the QRV will not close until you take the tool off so with the assembly under 80psi pressure you need a firm grip or accidents will happen...

No lip sealers or roller bearings for the drum. Wow. The bushings are bronze 932 and the gaskets are neoprene. As far as I can tell you're supposed to grease it A LOT and it just..... leaks. By design. Only two lip seal on the whole thing item 7 at the end of the worm drive shaft. Plain gaskets...

Side note from department of "that's kinda weird": the gear description from the NSN is it's made from "copper alloy overall". Huh. Screams sacrificial gear to me. The helical gear is steel 8620H. That's a case hardened 80 ksi material. My worm gear may be OK (I'll have to inspect). So whomever...

It's the swing gearbox. Swing motor also has issues I disconnected it with the lines attached and ran it: rattles one way smooth the other. So it's off to a local shop for a rebuild. I'm pretty sure this is the issue of the loaded/unloaded. For all I know it sounded and behaved like crap...

Found the problem with the rotation.

I know bumping an old thread..... So I had issues with my new to me M936A2 fuel gauge, found this thread, went on an adventure. Some useful points about the system: 1) The ground for the gauges is the back of the panel via the hold down bracket. Found this out when my new fuel gauge has the...

Yes. The Allison needs to be in 5th. You can hear it shift when you get past about 1600rpm. That's where the 1700 number comes from. It's easy to miss and it'll actually work at 1500 pretty well but be sluggish as you said. It's been pointed out here a number of times. When you are new to the...

I'm testing the load from about straight aft to 90 right (as viewed from the gondola). Haven't tried other directions. The load is just under 3k#. According to a mechanic I ran into they tested full extension 5k# 360 so that's my goal. I'm going to reach out to this fellow that told me that: he...

Um.... WOW! I bought a historic plated M936A2 and went to the DMV. That was a mistake. What a shitshow. Then the CHP office told me they would NOT inspect it unless I had a letter from the DMV stating they would give it historic plates. "It's like a "humvee"" he said. Now I'm in limbo. Better to...

I see what you're saying. I've worked on ship steerage systems and deck crane systems that have such brakes. Also electrical and hydraulic elevator motors where brakes are essential. This system has a mechanical brake with adjustment for the hoist (I haven't looked inside but it has no pilot...

Well my UOA came back and the fluid is just fine. Actually the viscocity is a bit lighter than ISO 32 recommeneded after I put in a 5 gallon pail of AW 46 I had so I'm a bit suprised by that. Certainly the elimination of the fluid being a problem was worth the $30 for the analysis. No water in...

Those e-code lenses, H4 24V high output bulbs and adapters look like the ticket! About $150 for all the parts is pretty budget friendly (in comparison to other options).

Then I suppose the part was just flat out superceded.... I don't mind as it appears easy to get support for the Parker unit. Quick searches for the older Garwood/Hydreco unit yield little (if anything). Better knowledge base here for those than the manufacturer and all my TM's point to the new...

Here it is this motor is for an 816 or M543 what the heck it's doing on my M926A2 is very..... Army of the Army: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/wrecker-seals.12553/

Well shit as soon as I type that I try again and found the other motor it's NSN 4320-00-504-8999

OK so the top motor I have on the hoist and the bottom motor is on my rotator table. The TM points to both being the same part number which is a Parker 3169310251 as seen in the parts diagram posted. It's also known by it's NSN and Parker number PH PGM075C842**. I've found this motor for as low...

Yeah the TM's sure have a few weak spots (to say the least). The hydraulic tuning system (for the wrecker) is completely wrong. Would have been better to not say anything at all. Good thing I have experience with hydraulics elsewhere..... The only reason I know the wheel weight positon is from...
