I also use Opti-lube XPD. Great stuff. There was a test of most of the common lubricity additives for diesel fuel a few years ago. They actually measured wear on stainless steel with a microscope. Opti-lube XPD came out on top. Interestingly, some people have been using Marvel Mystery Oil...

When I first got my M35A3 10 years ago I had some similar issues. I jacked the truck off the ground where I could easily turn the steering wheel to left and right lock repeatedly very easily. I then added air tool oil to the air line, probably a teaspoon full, hooked the airline back up and...

That is the way to do it. Finding out the answer is no the hard way when a tow is needed and they won't send anyone is not the right way.

I agree with Chainbreaker. Take the starter to a repair shop.

It only takes a very short time to build up enough pressure to blow your finger away because the internal volume of the tubing is so small. You also asked about how to raise or lower the pressure on the regulator. The top screw/bolt on the regulator can be turned in or out. Turning it in...

Just because you are getting the pfft - pfft sound doesn't mean that your compressor is building up air pressure. I would recommend disconnecting the crossover line you replaced. Disconnect it at the drivers side. Run the engine and place your finger of the end of the line. You should feel...

I previously had the same issues with my MEP003A. In my case, it turned out to be air leaking into the line to my bulk fuel tank. I had originally thought the solenoid valve was bad. I tested it by disconnecting the lines, applying 24 VDC to open the valve and blowing through it by mouth. My...

I needed to replace the Terminal Board, P/N C5147, Mfg by McGraw Edison, NSN 5940-01-284-6455 on the hydraulic cooler on my FLU419. Mine was severely corroded. I found a bag of 5 for sale on Ebay. Obviously, I only need 1, but I'll keep another for a spare which leaves 3 more. If anyone...

What tires did you order? I need to replace my tires as well. Your tires actually looked much better than the tires on my FLU. I think if I blew a tire driving at speed on the highway there is a good chance of rolling the FLU. I've been thinking about Continental MPT80 12.5R20 / 335/80R20...

Are you sure it is just 8 hours? The last digit, normally red, is not tenths as I assumed, but full hours. For instance, when I got mine it read 819, with the 81 in white and the 9 in red for a total of 819 hours. I have no idea why they did that, but it easily misleads people. You likely...

That is exactly the way mine is hooked up now. Why they tied the two together is anyone's guess. I was lucky - my lines were in very good condition.

If anyone needs new hydraulic cooler motors, they are still available. Hayden makes them. In addition, somebody has some for sale on Ebay at $85.00 each and free shipping. These are NSN 6105-01-256-4607 and P/N 3631.

I have State Farm liability and comprehensive. A few years back I had a claim for a small engine fire. They paid up immediately without any discussion.

If the shaft is still sticking out put some vise-grips on it and turn it that way. If the shaft is broken off I don't know what you could do.

Have you talked to your utility? They may be willing to work with you. I get power from Blue Ridge Mountain EMC in North Georgia. I purchased a 400-amp manual transfer switch on Ebay for a really cheap price - $180.00. I ran conduit underground from my generator to the transfer switch. I...

What is everyone using for the hydraulic systems on the FLU419? I've been using 10W engine oil from McMaster Carr at $80.00 / 5 gallon pail (Cat. 1361K36) which makes it $2.00 per quart. I couldn't find anything cheaper and it seems to work well.

Anyone know what this wire / connector is supposed to connect to? It could even supposed to be connected to ground. It is located directly below the K1 - K5 relays. Everything on the SEE works so that doesn't help. There is no obvious connection point.

I have State Farm insurance on my M35A3. It is insured via a commercial policy for non-commercial use. I was told by State Farm that I could add a towing policy for the truck, but that they only supply tow trucks designed to tow cars and light pickups and vans and that if the tow truck shows...

I ordered a new hand guard for my hydraulic chainsaw from Southeast Railroad Tool Service in Ellijay, Georgia, the closest Stanley Infrastructure dealer to me. It only cost a little more than $13.00 and Stanley drop-shipped it to me from Oregon at no cost. Fantastic service from both Stanley...

A little duct tape! I need to replace the tires on my FLU as well. I think mine are older than yours.
