    Slooowww-m52a2-help

    I bought a M52A2 from GL. Not Running when I purchased it. With alot of help from fellow SS I did everything I could. The truck had IP problems, to much for me to fix. I took the truck to Jim Henry in Albemarle NC, he said the IP timing was off and the HH was bad. He replaced the parts for me...

    Need some info on Rome Plows

    Before the use of Civilian Tree Clearing machinery was widely available many construction companys used them to clear new roadways, subdivisions, etc., around North and South Carolina. I have seen many at use on civilian projects in the 80's and early 90's but not lately. Most were on CAT D8's

    M52A2 PART OUT or FIX IT

    I have a M52A2 with hard top, heater, winch, 60%+on all tires(spare is new), rebuilt in 1992 per tags. I think I will need to put a new IP on it. Do I purchase a IP and pay someone to put on the the IP or do I part it out and start over? Cost is my issue. Give me some thoughts.

    Plunger travel

    How much should the plunger travel in the Hydralic Head of a multifuel? Mine has about 1/8" when the motor is turning over. How does that sound? I bought a truck that was not running at purchase . It had a bad HH, the plunger was frozen, so I replaced the HH with a good one. Thank

    IP problems LDS-465-M52A2

    I took out the hydralic head. The plunger sticks. I put some penatrating oil to loosen it up. I'll check it in a few hours. I may just get another hydralic head. I have to take my vice to compress the plunger, then tap it back down with a small wood dowel to get it to move.
