    M1089 hyd schematic

    Thanks SausageGuy for the contact by private message. I'm going to share it here since it's a business and contains no personal information. It may help the next person. I'm sure there are plenty of print shops that can do it too. E mail.....kc@blueprintpro.net

    what Happened to my M1101

    Your brake parts are not in their proper position, are any of them obviously bent? Will they go back into position? Looks like the axle will clean up and you may need a hub, bearings and (maybe) brake drum. With the bearing races out, can you clean the hub to work again? Get bearings for...

    M1089 hyd schematic

    I have it here and can't seem to make the drawings fit to the page (always end up with near half missing). This is where a large format printer would help. Looking at pages 1123 to 1156. https://www.nsncenter.com/Files/library/TM/FMTV/TM-9-2320-366-20-5/TM-9-2320-366-20-5.pdf

    Where do I get the hydraulic diagram for a 1089 wrecker?

    Question about 5 ton purchase/ ownership

    I went the other way (5 tons then 2 deuces) because of the auctions having mostly 5 tons. Sanity is over-rated.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Valley Rock...then you had to find new brake parts and a drum? I had in my mind that the studs went through the drum when in the position yours are in. I guess they don't. Mine are "flipped", so they will just need reversed (and not go through the brake drum) to put the hub in the same...

    Tire pressure question

    Are you talking loaded or unloaded and what type of terrain? G177 is radial and a good tire but I like more meat up front to take the softer material like sand. I think there is a 22.5 size that would work and the (metric (MPT I think) 14.5R20 is the same dia but different bead than combat...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I'll share...it's more of a description than a name. A couple of weeks ago a stray cat showed up at my back door. Unlike most that have had to spend some time surviving, it was not timid or scared. I opened the door and it came right in and then acted like I was it's best friend in the world...

    Trapdoor Gin Pole Project underway, feedback/suggestions appreciated.

    I have to admit....I'm lost. Where is the winch located?

    What wheels are these? I just won these on auction and pretty sure they may be hemtt

    That's it. Lately my memory is at least one digit off.

    What wheels are these? I just won these on auction and pretty sure they may be hemtt

    Sure they would work...the machine they go on is much heavier than a 5 ton and rated to go 50 mph. They come on a 10" rim, so will work on yours. For an update, I bought several sets of four. The rims have a 13.29 bolt circle which is the same as an ag hub 20-25,000 lb. (Edit 13.19")

    11R20 dual question

    I'd like to know more about the failures of the 14.5R20 that you had. Were they steer tires? Were you on the road mostly with them? Did they set with mud on them and not get cleaned off? Did they sit flat for long periods? Did you run them on the deuce that you put the Waterloo OD on...

    11R20 dual question

    How many have you had fail? We (experienced large tire dude and myself) looked them over quite well when they were apart and saw no signs of water or rust in the cords...which has always been the reason I had tires fail.

    11R20 dual question

    Yea, don't really want to sell them but need $$ for the 395s for my 4x4 project. By the time you have a tire, new valve and o-ring, mounted and ready to go, I think you will see it's not a bad price.

    450/80R20 Sand Trail tires

    Just a bit of comparison. The NDCC is a 14.00

    11R20 dual question

    That is the combination I like best for the 6x6 deuce. In fact, I have a pair of A3 with 14.5's in the classified to do just that. I read that directional tires should go about 40-50% before turned around, not sure where. Take the time to line them all up in the right direction...it will...

    11R20 dual question

    You shouldn't have a problem, especially new, but why not make it look good by keeping the direction the same?

    450/80R20 Sand Trail tires

    They are the same size diameter as 14.00R20, will rub on a deuce rear....so you 4x4 the deuce. Yes, I can see a 4x4 deuce with them for mostly sand...with air lockers front and rear. The mine sweeper they were for is no light vehicle and it is rated to 50 mph, so should be fine. I have...

    front tires on M923

    Nice job on welding. How did you make the piece that was welded on? Did you get any heat distortion? Was it part of what you cut off, cut down? I thought R3 was different too. That looks like a lot of work x2 (both sides). Could the same modification be made to a combat wheel that already...

    front tires on M923

    Thanks G....that is exactly what I was after. I was about to go get out the compass. Application is M929 front with 14.5 steer tires, 11.00 on rear. I don't like that close relationship myself. Not on a dump anyway. Just to confirm, there isn't another 20" metric rim that fits the 5...
