RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Can someone please help me.
Yeah, And it's not a M62 crane. It is a M543. He also lists the rear winch at 65K only 45K. The V8 gas is a Leroy. I don't think they had a Mack gas. It was a Leroy gas or V8 Cummins diesel.
Kenny,
Let's not forget the safety chain. Also, I use the axle clamps(double roller chains) on the older WWII 1/2 and 3/4 tons. I just go right around the bumper. Real nice.

RE: Re: RE: Negative
You need to look at where your pivot points are. The tow bar will ONLY pivot at the towing truck's pintle hook. The crane will ONLY pivot at the top of the bumper, whiffle tree, whatever. They are NOT in the same plane. I have picked up 5 tons that way. Picking up a 5...
Re: RE: what
That's what I have been telling people right along. You can't steer with the truck lifted and the towbar attached.(pivot points are in two different planes) You were also lucky that you have a winch model truck that you were towing. Otherwise the the block would have been...
Demil of past equipment puchased
Why don't you guys just tell them that you do not have the equipment anymore and do not know where it is? You can tell them that you sold it for parts and cut up the frame since it was a piece of junk that was mis-representive on the GL website. Especially if...
You should always carry a quart of extra brake fluid for just such cases. And always carry the basics of tools in the tool bag. Such as a slotted and phillips screw driver, adjustable wrench (cresent), pliers, and a tool roll of combination wrenches. Even the harbor freight type tools are a...
No Mack ENDT-673 came in a M54A2 from the factory. That is what the A1(Mack Engine) or A2( Multifuel Engine) mean. You will never see a M35A1. Only M35's and A2's. The difference is not just the engine, but also the transmission as well. The Macks have the overdrive transmission due to the...
Does anyone have a old 800 series NHC 250 cummins water pump core? Mine on the M819 is starting to drip. I tried to get a rebuilt and the shop said that they don't have the cores. I didn't want to swap it out yet. I just wanted to have one ready to go.
Thanks,
Bad seals
The seal is bad on the valve on the side of the transmission. Air is bypassing ans coming out of the tee that is between the valves.
You can disconnect the incoming line and and block the air.

Not all compressor pulleys are the same. The multifuels are different that the 5 ton R6602. I know the fronts are different and I would assume the rear half is different due to the difference in the engines and belt alignment. You really need to do you homework when buying off ebay.

I have two snow plow units that I will sell. One is on a M35 and the other is on a M135. Let me know if you are interested and I will send pictures. Hydaulics pumps are 24v and are good also. Would be easy to install.
I am in Fresno,

Plain cover on PSB-6a
The plain cover is common on all non-military versions of the PSB-6A pump. There is even a wheeled farm tractor (a White) that uses the LD/LDS engine. The FDC was only on the 465 engines. It was not on the LD-427's. If you find an LD-427 in old M35 series. You can get...
Bill,
Yeah, You came late and I left Tower early. I had to get home Friday night to hit a Caterpillar swap meet on Saturday morning. I have three wreckers total now. Two M62's and now the M819(couple of weeks old). I just got done pulling the end section with the pully out of the middle...
There is also a reinforcing plate that goes against the bed is the bed doesn't have it welded on. The plate also has the oval ring with a notch welded on.
