Well the MV GOD is letting me know that he is NOT happy with me, at the start of the deballing, the 819 developed a slight coolant drip from the water pump, figured I would keep going though the day because I was shutting down operations for two weeks do to the fact that I have a two week...
I am AMAZED that you are STILL finding room on the truck to mount things, you almost need a road map just to find your way around, You do not have to worry about the truck getting stolen and used because it way to busy for a common thief to comprehend.
Do not think he is talking about a tru hitch, more of the smaller holmes unit that fits on the fifth wheel, used to lift tow, powerd either air for the life cylinders, or a electric pump for hyd. cylinders, they are real nice little units
Love my m819 tractor/wrecker, rides like a CADDY, lift...
Well today got the spare tire rack done, come to find no two sets of holes match anything else, strange a lot more set up to do the different holes, you would think all would be the same ??, got the 105 bed off the frame and setting on the base truck, went to set up the mag drill for a rack...
The 105a2 bed is what is speced by the client, what the CLIENT wants, the CLIENT gets, I voted for a 1101/1102 bed.
The big thing about this project or any major project is to have the FINISHED product pictured in your mind, then break it down step by step again picturing and analyzing each...
Well today picked up square stock to make spacers for the super single spare rack to convert it to a super, super single spare rack, got them cut, drilled, fitted, will have them installed tomorrow, as well as the 105 bed up on the frame for the fitting
There is a separate air supply this controls to RELEASE the spring brakes in case of a emg. (dead engine, ect.), it is in the closed position (out) for normal operation, open (in) when the truck needs to be moved but the engine will not start.
Remember, tractors have a DROPPED rear cross member to clear the king pin if the ramps are used to hook up to a low trailer, without the DROPPED rear cross member, there is a very good chance the king pin WILL hit the rear cross member when hooking up and HANG up on it if the landing of the...
I would just use a long 3/8: drill, just ream out the hole so the 3/8 " pin slides in, do this while HOOKED UP because this is the condition of the trailer when backing and the holes will be where they should be. set the brakes, pull forward, drill, this should do it for you.
I would take the time to install a lube fitting after you cleaned everything while freeing up the brakes, does not take much, the wedge style brakes will tend to rust after sitting for a while, then hang up when used, so you need to use the truck more often or install the fittings.
