    939a0 designation debate

    I second this fact. Knowing the correct model number of the vehicle and ensuring correct parts, that are effective for installation, on that vehicle is very important and depending on the vehicle, may be required by CFRs.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Just put the 2015 Farm Reg. stickers on the 925, 931,936, and the 813 got new Historic Veh. registration. Fired them all up and let them idle for 25 minutes. All good.

    Hydraulic fluid in winch/crane? My head hurts....

    If the color is red, it would be MIL 5606 (mineral based hyd. fluid) nothing fancy here, just expensive. When I maintained general avaition aircraft in the late 70's it was $6/gallon. F type ATF is basically the same. Straw colored fluid is going to be 10wt hyd fluid/ EO. If the fluid in not...

    New Member: I'm loving my 5 ton but Brake failure!

    Brad, Yes, that would be the kit. If you have not drained the system, and I believe you have not, because you haven't seen the video, you NEED to get the Operator Manual and read it. The drains (petcocks) are located on the bottom of the air tanks, They may be plumbed to a petcock under the...

    New Member: I'm loving my 5 ton but Brake failure!

    The COLAS test is not applicable to your series of MV. COLA, test the integrity of a true air brake system. Your M52 is air over hydraulic, basically, air pressure assited hyd. brakes.
