There is a little wrench type tool that is made for that problem - made by Ken Tool & others. I have one, up in the new shop. I'll try to get a picture of it tomorrow. The problem is not new. Its a real problem when you have several, all on the same wheel. It consists of a 1&1/2" hex ring...

My set uses 2 each, 6TMF, but it is a MEP-003A. They are more square then the ones in your picture.

A common horse /cow pad is 4'x6'x 1". An unsightly, but very serviceable, anti vibration trick is to set the skid mounted on an old used truck tire, ie. a 10.00x20. No wheel or tube, etc. Bolt the skids through the side walls. Will last for years! Pretty cheap too.

Sure I knew that it ran, but we all know that its still a "crap shoot"! They aren't often found around here, and usually, the transportation on stuff is a big part of a project. I looked high and low, read all I can about them/have all the books. But I'm not a MEP electrician. House/shop...

Recovered MEP-003A/M116A2 from Ft Lee - 8212 miles in all. Smooth recovery, Saw lots of new Country down South there, but don't want to trade! Its good to be home. A Buddy picked her up at Ft Lee and pulled it back to Sparta, WI., for me. I picked it up there. It was a complete unit...

That is great - thanks too. In getting the size right, my screen says the size was 99.8 % The inside of the cutout is 4", but my screen says it is 4.25". Which is right? Hate to make one the wrong size. Could somebody please check a wrench that fits. Thanks. Last summer I was out...

Didn't think of the circ saw. But there are abrasive blades for them that are designed for steel - no use to use one for concrete.

One other tip thing that I keep forgetting to mention - Don't ever trust the fuel gauge, especially on the bottom half. And sometimes, 2" in the bottom, can still mean your out of fuel! Consumption can vary, and on a long trip/strange truck, keep her full, maybe use some conditioner (I like...

It sure sounds like she bought herself a Runner, and now she needs to get it home. A rattle can will fix the doors! Some practice, and hope for the best. Memorize the shift pattern, and know that the brake fluid to use is DOT 5 (Silicone Brake fluid), available at NAPA (regular brake fluid...

Smack the flat sides a couple of times - that might loosen it some. Otherwise, as above, or make one.

You can do it, but it might take a while and a lot of money. Down load the TM. Do a search here about stuff to take with you - there is a wagon load from tools to silicon brake fluid & spare tires. Have some tire chains! Do the regular checks. Be sure to have hearing protection. Do a...

It hard to judge "scale" there, but it looks like an old time grinder (the hand grinder that was prevalent before the advent of todays popular 4.5" grinder), with a 7" grinding disc, would have enough blade stick out, to grind out that ridge.

Inspect things. Can you rotate the PTO drive line by hand? Can you rotate the winch by hand. Slide the shear pin coupling back/inspect the hole . Inspect the U- Joints. That isn't rocket science. Something is causing the problem! You have to identify it!

DOT says 60 psi. They can be real touchy about it too.

The winch is inherently dangerous, so double thin about everything that you are doing - keep others clear... Read the TM That said.... I keep thinking that your line in bound on the drum, but you should be able to see that. The shear pin should be aluminum, but the holes get wobbled and the...

That is good thinking Ratch. Better to be safe. The Guy you talked to may not be there on base to help you with the lift. You can load them both with some chain and "come-along's", by your self. Best to be safe.

Its an extremely rare vehicle. The cab isn't worth much but the utility body and frame are!

Over the years , they bow down. I have un-bolted them and turned the bow up. They should be good for another 20 years now

I just got one back - it took right on 30 days.

Did the shock smooth out the ride? How much? Mine is a little jerky, in and around parking lots, or traffic. It seems some of that is normal though? I just repacked the wheel bearings, mostly because I tried to adjust the brakes and found that the adjusters were in backwards. I'm...
