I got some free time to look into it. There were some problems on the way it was grounded. How anyone thought it would work right the way it was done is beyond me. I’ve corrected that and it seems to work fine now. I’m gonna be running it a bunch this weekend so that will be a good test. Thanks

Hi all I bought an M274 A5 that has lights, alternator, battery, and starter installed on it. The problem is when the machine is running and you turn on the lights it kills the engine. I haven’t dug into the problem yet. Just thought I would throw it out to everyone before I tare it apart for...

If you do end up repowering with a different engine and trans and don’t have a need for the 302 and hydra. I might be interested. My big drawback from that machine was transporting it but sounds like you got it covered.

I use Case IH Hy-Tran oil in all my g749’s. It’s not cheap but it’s made for heavy use in ag equipment transmissions that have clutch’s and gears and a shared hydraulic system. It’s good stuff

The engine I did that on wound up having other problems and I swapped a different 302 in it’s place. I didn’t back any bolts out but still bent some but it was a nice way to put a lot of pressure to it slowly. As far as separating a junk 302 from trany I have dropped the crankshaft out the...

I have pulled the torus cover off and used a portapower or hydraulic jack on the flywheel bolts to spin the crankshaft to free it. Then but new bolts in after

I had an old timer tell me along time ago “most of your carb problems are in the distributor”. That was for any old engine

That fix was posted on the g741 web site with photos.

Probably 6 or so. Looking through the catalog posted buy Duuane I might have found a replacement. I will check with a heavy truck parts supplier near me to see if it’s available. Hopefully I’ll have some luck.

Has anybody got a source for LH wheel studs p#501246? I haven’t had much luck finding new ones and I’ve just about exhausted the take offs that I’ve been using. Thanks

Just got it all painted so it’s less of a DOT magnet. Haha

M816 1971

Hi all I’m looking at an M59 to buy and I I’m new to armor. What should be looking out for? I’ve looked at it twice and been in it. The tracks look good and it’s pretty complete. It is missing one engine but I’m familiar with the gmc302 and the hyramatic and have those parts. What do I need to...

I’m about 3.5 hours east of Des Moines. There are several of these G749s scattered around the country side that I’ve found just rotting away. You probably have more parts opportunities then you know. Just get the word out. You never know what people have sitting on the back 40.

You can get tractor drawbar pins in any size. They are hardened and have a hole for a safety pin. I think you need 7/8” if it hasn’t been worn out bigger.

I have towed them with my M816 without any problem. The best option is to pull all three drive shafts but it’s a pain in the butt. If the tires are aired up and you got oil in the diffs. With the tow bar It trails right behind the 5ton like nothing. However you want to do it the key is to...

Just got the bulkhead welded up and installed. I tried to follow the pictures I could find in the manuals but it ant gonna win any shows. It will do the job though. Now I can start hauling some rock.

Take it easy on the brake adjusters if the screw is rusted tight and you put a lot of force on it it wil strip the teeth off. I saw a m211 go up for sale not to far from you I wonder if it was the same one? Good luck.
