Pulled my left front tire off to get the bad wheel cylinder replaced. This wheel cylinder was not retracting. Even with the brake adjusters all the way relaxed, there was enough "brake grab" that I could just turn the tire by myself. I should have done this repair a while ago but I knew I...

EeeK! I never have had one of these PTOs before, mine is still on my garage floor awaiting more winch parts to install. I was thinking one of the air cyclinders I have on hand would be doing the trick to be going from Forward to Reverse and cutting pressure to spring return to Neutral. I was...

Sorry for posting before I looked up your two trailer choices. My response is totally not helpful at all...

I am very much liking this option for the original PTO. I don't have any linkage for my PTO and was wondering if you have seen this setup on any of the original PTO models? If not I will perhaps make one if the cost is similar to getting linkage parts. Cool mod.

OK, With the sprag, in a neutral position, I can see there is the same spring (parts #21 below) to push the piston (part #26 below) to a "middle" or "neutral" position. Can you enlighten me to understand "It will still be a limited slip type operation" means. I thought I had read that it was a...

Had to get my old heater core replaced. Since a replacement from any MV suppliers for the same bound plate design in copper was like $200 I made a different one from the sizing I cross referenced online. Instead of fitting straight up, it leans backward just slightly since it is 8.75ish inches...

My 13 year old and I made our way around the rig and pumped all the zerks with Mobile 1 Red Lithium grease. Also the transmission was full on gear oil but was looking a bit on the ugly side. So drained that all out and after looking at the chocolate looking garbage that came out I decided every...

Connected up the rest of the 6AN dual fuel mod today. What a pain getting that plug out of the back of the head. I removed the defrost/heater box in the cab and drilled a 2 5/8 hole through the firewall directly behind the plug. To remove the lock-tight sealed plug I had read heat will bust it...

Digg-in those chains!

I have seen your posts about that. Clean everything well. Pop the "cap", and replace. When I am getting the button changed I will add that to my list.

Simp, Thanks for the pointer on when I should see fuel pressure. "....on snap throttle and under load." I had only been testing this in my driveway and had read I should see max pressure at 2000 rpm... I didn't know that was only when driving under load. Sooooooo! Took it out for a spin...

Hello All, My M813 "THE BOT" which I drove 2385 miles cross country from Detroit to Salt Lake has a fuel issue. The rig runs fine on flat ground with a tailwind but is GUTLESS on any hill. I have read some of the other threads on similar issues and have taken these initial steps to figure out...

Sweet Ride! Welcome, welcome.

is DCA4 or DCA2 ok to mix with a 50/50 Distilled water to Concentrate Prestone coolant? Is that what you suggest? Thanks!

What would you repurpose them as?

Do you think some hindges can be welded onto one side to use this as a tool box for the bed of my BOT (M813)? 1/8" steel? or just clamps on the

I am curious as to when your flush is done, which hoses are you disconnecting to make sure you have the engine and radiator all drained out? I will be doing a coolant change on mine soon and could use all the pointers I can get. Also my rig is new to me and may have never had a chemical flush...

Syrion, I chose the 5 ton due to the carrying capacity. I needed something that could carry in excess of 5 tons. I chose the M809 series (Mine is a M813) due to its mechanical simplicity. It is very much like your M54. I almost bought an M814 that has the 20' bed just to have the added volume...

Replacement float was an exact fit and VUALA! For the first time the Fuel gauge actually shows something on the dial and it IS HALF>>>>>>>> FULL! Yes! I found that my down spout tube in my tank did not have any holes in it... Yet! But it was well underway of getting them. Because I have some...
