That's an idea. I will defiantly fish plate it after I get it straitened if I go that route. For now I still need to get the hydraulics working to see if the inner boom is bent too.

So it turns out cattelrepairman is correct there is a bend in the boom. So I'll be on the look out for a new boom for it. I'm going to keep working on it as I don't think I'll ever pick up anything that would stress it further but a non bent boom would be nice.

I keep an eye out for some outriggers for you if you'll keep an eye out for a boom for me. Turns out mine is bent.

Here is the control box. You can see two fittings have been changed by the last owner to modern JIC fittings. Most of my steel lines have adapters on the end to use JIC as well.

cattlerepairman I'm not sure but it is possible there is a slight bow in it. SETOYTA Mine has adapters to go from the old style to JIC but a few are rusted out so I'm going to change the fittings at the control box to make them all JIC. Getting JIC fittings that size is no problem if the price...

:shock::shock: Guess mine isn't in as bad a shape as I thought. Do you know if they would sell it as is? I might need a boom for mine.

I see your truck still has it's fold out spot lights on the rear of the cab. Could you measure the pipe from the light to the fold out part for me? I have my ends to fix the lights but the pipes are rusted so bad I don't know how long they need to be.

Any idea what year M108 that is?

Made a mile stone yesterday. First time running since the tear down. Still need to get some hydraulic lines made before I can try out the crane. I had one made last week and wow. 150 buck for one line and there are ten total. Here's the truck now. Also got an idea on what year it is now to. I...

I've used a needler on my truck and it works good. Just make sure you have on some good safety glasses. Pieces of paint and rust will fly everywhere.

Ya it's real tight between the nut and yoke so a normal socket won't fit. It's an 1 1/2 socket. I used a punch to get the nut loose but figured I had better put a a bit of torque to it so it didn't back off.

I used stainless steel. Also here is another special tool I made. If you need to rebuild your PTO you will probable need one.

Since no shims could be found I just made a new one. Here's my shim and the newly rebuilt PTO. Has anyone ever seen a Ramsey PTO for a deuce? I have one on a case that I took out of a truck I scrapped but I haven't been able to find any info on it.

It looks like the're parts catalog is down right now.

No luck. I've checked boyce equipment, eastern surplus, big mikes motor pool,those military guys, eriks military surplus and now memphis. The only one who had anything at all was eastern and all they have is a complete unit. Looks like I might be making my own shims.

While putting all the shifters back in I found my transfer case PTO would not engage. I pulled the linkage off and tried to engage it and still nothing. So I printed the manual and pulled the PTO off to rebuild it. Found the problem pretty quick. Some one had been in it before and did not...

I used a big rod on the threads to get mine out. You could try putting heat to the case with a torch and see if that helps.

Glad to help. I've almost got my M108 running again. I'm installing a new harness now. The old one was a bit scary.

SETOYOTA The socket is a Carlyle part number 61-4046 Jeepsinker Your saying the smaller one should run all the way back to the vent on the fuel sending unit? I took all lines off the frame of the M35 and it had the small line coming off the fuel sending unit going to a t fitting in the line...

Got the engine back in a few nights ago. Had a little delay because the starter on the forklift went out and I had to replace it so I could pick up the engine. I ran in to a small problem. Like a dummy I didn't take good pictures of everything before I started taking two trucks apart and now I...
