Nice truck, hopfully its gear oil, DOT 5 brake fluid is about 30 bucks a quart. I'm gonna rebuild my brake system and the fluid is going to be the most expensive part. But have fun, these trucks are a blast.

Yepp, Eric is a great guy.

I would say look up these threads. They prob will explain it better than I could.

How did you get the belt off without taking the pully apart? did you take the comp. out of the truck?

I knew i'd seen it somewhere but couldn't remember, thanks to Mr. Cranetruck.

Ya yours looks like it has somemore electronics, and does not have the small coil. Is yours a Prestolite? and what year do you think it is?

Hows this, The silver colored relay is the one that shows signs of over heating. Its the same relay we use on some of our palet jacks. I have one and plan on jumpering it in to see if the prob goes away.

Had some starter prob with my 813, traced it to the controle box. swapped it out and the prob seem to be gone. Wanted to see what was inside so I cut it open, someone posted that they cut one open but I can't remember who it was. Just thought someone might like to see too.

The crankshaft has a slot for a Woodruf key but the shive ( pully) does not, witch is why you'll have to lap it.

Sorry there's the pic

The pully is in two halfs. A nut holds the back half onto the crank shaft, take that nut off. the pully and crank shaft have a taper on them where they mate up, there is no key way so when you put it back together you will have to lap them together or it could spin on the shaft.

Just asking but how are the Goodyears better, I'm getting ready to get new tires for my bobber?
