    Truck dies/starts hard

    I am not sure how to lift the hydraulic head up and off. After eliminating other possibilities I'm Taking it off. All the lines are disassembled and the 4 nuts are off. It doesn't want to lift up so there must be a trick? I'm looking at TM-9-2815-210-34-2 and find IP stuff but not hydraulic head...

    Truck dies/starts hard

    So, can I put it back together? What should I expect as to the scope of this repair? Is there a place that does rebuilds on these specifically? I'm glad this problem is getting narrowed down--it is a bright side to a very miserable and wet period here in Vermont

    Truck dies/starts hard

    ctmustang, I would say yes. I followed what has been discussed here--out for more, in for less. Thinned down a 7/16th wrench for the inside, and gave it a bit more fuel. I also played around with a whole lot more fuel and even less fuel before I tightened it back down. It pretty much didn't...

    Truck dies/starts hard

    Well I'm confident fuel is getting to the IP, so it certainly seems like the IP is the culprit. It is a 2LDT-465-1C on a White LD 465 1C. NA Should I fix it, or get a take off? or a rebuilt? I plan to keep this truck for as long as I'm able to stand up and take nourishment, so I want to do it...

    Truck dies/starts hard

    Doghead, The in-tank pump is pushing fuel through the filters. I haven't checked fuel pressure. I'll do a search for past discussions on checking the pressure. Thanks

    Truck dies/starts hard

    My shop van has been a bit of a project running wise since i got it out of Fort Drum in March. It's a very nice truck with lots of new parts and tires, and I want to get it running right. Here's what's up. To begin with it wouldn't fire up on its own. I changed all the filters. drained the fuel...

    My new 5 ton

    actually I got a box. Truck runs real nice. I put in new batteries and cleaned all the terminals, changed the fuel filter, lubed all the zirks, fixed a few fuel line leaks, and blew off the new looking air filter. I still have to change the oil, but it looks like it was just changed so it hasn't...

    My new 5 ton

    Hello everyone. Well the 5 ton is ready to go to work. My intention was to mount the log loader on the truck, but when we rolled up our sleeves on this one it got mounted on a 1.5 ton trailer frame, and the trailer bed got the wheel wells filled in to form a more proportional 5 ton bed.

    Not to steer the thread away from its intended purpose, but does any one know wher to get the fuel strainer element for these gen sets? The TM and this site list the part # as 35070, Fram #C1824. NAPA can't seem to find anything that crosses with these numbers. Autozone didn't either. Thanks

    looking for filter numbers

    I'm trying to cross reference the fuel strainer element part number to NAPA and they can't find anything. Tried Autozone too. What are you guys doing for this part? I have one genset that had the filters removed. Thanks

    My new 5 ton

    Well the good news is the truck fired up on the pull before the tires got all the way around. Brakes are a wee bit soft, but runs and drives very nice. So, now to track down the brain box, and get on with mounting the log loader.

    My new 5 ton

    Yes, it's missing the distribution box. Doesn't surprise me as the batteries and air horn are gone too. Will it pull start without the d box? And, who has them?

    My new 5 ton

    My M818 got here last night. It had the batteries removed, so I rolled it off the trailer and up the hill to the farm. I put in 4 new batteries from NAPA this morning. I have them connected correctly, but when you jump up in the cab absolutely nothing happens. The lights don't work either and...

    Bad trip.

    Those oil lines for the front of the IP are short little buggers that might be old and in need of replacement.

    M35A2 bobbed as Expedition vehicle?

    "It seems to have the basic speed requirement that I am looking for (60-65mph)" Expeditions don't go that fast--you would arrive too soon.

    What motor is this?

    Scottsville NY? Holy cow! I lived there for forty years. Been up here 5. In my opinion it wasn't a 'steal' at 3600. I really worry about dry rot tires and bad fuel when things are in long term storage--but you don't really know. You could see the wrecker in the pictures and it looks like an...

    What motor is this?

    5 ton boneyard

    I don't know any Alabama loggers, but I am a Vermont logger. We don't beat our equipment to death here in the green mountain state. Right now you can go over to the deuce page and watch someone on video driving a perfectly good truck over very large rocks. And guys want to say "those loggers" ...

    power driven trailer

    Well Sergeant Styker beat me to the punch--Hydraulic drive, or rather, assist. The European logging trailers have it as an option. I think you can see it if you google FARMI remember KISS keep it simple soldier.

    5 ton PTO

    I will be needing a PTO for my M818. What I'm doing is mounting a Kesla 203 log loader on the back of the rig. I'll be removing the 5th wheel, and putting on a deuce bed. So I also have need for a deuce bed somewhere near VT? I'm working on getting one or two M818s, but as I just bought the...
