I did a right up about it on the 939 series and I just did my trailer in 20 minutes both sides. The problem with the cans with the safety tabs is it has to go side ways to come off or go on. I was about ready after I got the cap off to take a cut off wheel and cut the safety tabs when I did my...
Just talked to Mike and he is going to pull the air cylinder. Guess if the air cylinder had enough crud/rust it could stay in gaged the little bit it takes to be in gaged. The pics show how little it needs to be for in gaged. The piston can be in forward position or reverse but if the spring is...
The other air line is on the transfer case and the Deuce has the return spring on the air shift transfer case so just one line.
Yes the is a position where there is no engagement without full air pressure.
As for the drag yes if you lock up the sprag it will feel like something is dragging and...
Write ups can be good. Just read a thread where the factory did it but still think you can leave that part out. Never seen it done to any other brake can.
Did you roll backwards in a forward gear with the clutch in or roll forward in reverse with the clutch in? Did you hop the rears playing in the mud? Sounds like you locked up the sprag and I don't believe a diesel flush is going to help plus problem not in the poppets. You can PM me for my...
I have had the pleasure of seen Ron at the Ga. rally many times and he always treaded me with respect. Sad thing to hear.https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?184457-NOS-809-series-airpack

Correction just got off the phone and got rid of one more so five more to go.
Why purge getting to old to have that amount of projects plus my memory is about done and want grass not trucks. Going to sell the five acres if I can get it cleared out. So money is the truth and I rather be on a...
Welcome and go with the 5 ton you won't be sorry. I like 809 series so a M818 leave it tandem cut down Deuce or 5 ton bed and 53's for tires. Guys will drooling girls will flock.
Yes inspection of the outside cable is a good thing but if you have a solid core it is hard to inspect the inside. They make a grease injector rig for injecting grease into a cable but it can be a pain if there is a lot of cable. They got us one for the tug boat but I don't think we ever used it.
Since the train has jumped the tracks and talking about keeping books. I bought this back in 1999 for 20 bucks. Amazon has the for 800 bucks now. There were not many printed or sold I guess.
