Thanks Clinto. That works for the search. What about problem #1, anybody else have this problem?

I like the new format. I would LOVE the new format if it worked all the time, every time, like the old one. Maybe its me! I tried day and nite for five days to post pics of mounting the big 20" tires in the 5 ton forum. FINALLY, got it done. Liked the way it turned out too! My problem #1: All...

If you have 20" rims, here you go. O-rings came from Hercules Hydraulics 800-777-5617, Clearwater, FL If you need 1/4" order: OR-70NBR-19x1/4-C/S(1) If you need 3/16"order: OR-70NBR-19x3/16-C/S(1) If you need the valve stems Myers Tire Supply, Homewood AL 205-942-8115 Order: DILVS1072

Couldnt let this go without a followup, so I called back to the yard where we picked up the deuces and where this story got started. My normal contact there said the guy I talked to yesterday got a little confused. He will be starting for a new company this Monday but GL is still very much...

My company uses a lot of seals and o-rings rebuilding our hydraulic cylinders so I have an account with a company that is my source. I dont know if your rims take a 3/16 or 1/4 in ring. My wheels use 1/4. I ordered both sizes just in case. I have the six new 3/16 if anyone can use them. I will...

I got these from Myers Tire Supply I think they are in Ohio. They had them drop shipped from Dill air products who is the mfg. I believe. I will try to get you the info and part #'s and post back here.

Continuation.............!! I am showing the lube that I use but I am sure there are plenty of choices out there that will not damage the tire. I used this on the valve stem gasket, orings and tire. These pics will also show my method for leak checks. This is my lube choice. Whatever is used...

Here is a pictorial of my 5 ton single tire project. I took my six old and shabby looking wheels to a tire store near here who has a wheel refurbish shop. It is an automated bead blast and powder coat line. They at first quoted $20.00 a wheel but found the CARC so tough that they had to run the...

In the "for what its worth category", my brother and I picked up 2 deuces this morning and the GL ground man that helped jump start the trucks said that GL had been sold/bought. Tomorrow was his last day as a GL employ and that he would be working for the new company with improved wages. His...

I just noticed that there is a "5 ton and up" and a "5 ton and larger" forum classification. Is this new or have I never noticed before.

Great tip!! Thanks. Ordered two myself. These will be cooler in the summer since they are not OD!!

How do you put text with each individual pic in a post. The old forum format would allow it. Very handy on "how to do" posts with pics.

Thanks Climber for adding the photos! 30 years ago I would be up there with you, now it feels ok just to sit in the operators seat. Your photos prove that some people really earn their pay!! Just like the brave men and women in our military who literally put their life on the line daily! We...

A few more pics of the tower job. After the 5 ton got the top half moved, my John Deere was called in to move the bottom half on site. Then my 40 ton and my 120 ton cranes took it from there!!

Alright then, lets get the measuring tape!! I bet mine is bigger!! LOL!!

The lake is called Woods Resevoir

Had to relocate a fire lookout tower and the M818 did its part hauling the top half of the tower into the field where the tower was to be erected.

RE: Re: M818 knocking sound? Thanks guys. I held the governor during its cycle and it does "hammer" slightly. Have owned lots of air brake vehicles and never heard a air governor make a sound. This one does!! Thanks again.

:? I am sure this has been asked and answered so apologies in advance :lol: What is the persistent knocking or tapping sound coming from the firewall area? Sounds like an elf with a tack hammer hitting the firewall (one tap every 3 or 4 minutes) while the engine is running. Have heard this on...
