    Tow air lines.

    I would still use a one way valve at the air pack in case of glad hand/valve/line leak which could dump your air and realy impede your deuce brakeing.

    Bobbed M35A2 Northeast PA inspection trouble

    If I was a inspection station, I would only inspect a bobber as a NEW build, because it is no longer a 3 axle truck, and as it is a NEW build there would be NO grandfathing, to inspect as anything else would be fraud and not worth loosing my ispection license over. The only way around a NEW...

    Tow air lines.

    I believe you could plumb into the air pack and then a one way valve then a air line to the front with a glad hand on the end, this way only ONE set of tow hoses need to be carried that will work on both a 5t and a deuce.

    936A2 hydraulic winch power question!

    Some interesting data Take a look at the cable load charts below, the 5-1 ratio is for over head use, the 3 1/5-1 ratio is for winch work, this chart is for NEW wire rope with a WIRE core, a fiber core (which our front winches have) cable has less SWL loading then shown, so just because someone...

    936A2 hydraulic winch power question!

    How much are you trying to pull, the 45,000 lb 936 rear winch was down rated to 1/2 of the 45,000 lb original rating because the hyds.will not meet the demand, it seems that engineers/designers did not talk to each other about the winch hyd. demands.

    M51A2 hydraulic power steering problem ross hydrapower

    In reality, the control valve actuator rides in a grove that goes all the war around the steering shaft, the worm gear/shaft moves a TINY bit as you try to steer, that is why there is a thrust washer on each end of the worm gear in the gear box. this TINY movement is what activates the actuator...
