The neutral position is one click down from the top.
Mine did the same thing. It is a residential spin. It will stop when there is resistance, say from a PTO shaft.
Also had a vibration, it was a brrrr........brrrr.....brrrrr..... Only in 5 gear after going for a few minutes. I think with the heat it's more notice able.
It's a M51A2. 11.00R20 NDT all the way around right now. Picked up 2 G177 11r20, and was hoping to find more and came across these 14.5. After so research on here, seemed like they would mount to my rims. Michelin says 11 in rims are ok. That's what my split rings are?
Picked up 3 14.5r20 XL from a guy. He said they wouldn't fit what he got them for. 2 of the 3 look good. One has a good amount of dry rot.
Found a place that would work on split ring rims. Get there, that say they don't have the right tubes and the flap that came with the tire won't work. I...
Gents, I am planning on getting a civilian 10 ton trailer to go behind my M51A2. I finally got all the bolts in the new pintle mount. Any suggestions on trailer plug in. The old plug in was cut (actually it looks like the bolts were snapped. Don't want to know what they were doing for that to...
tobys, I've thought about doing your wheel and tires setup on my M51A2. Going need to bite the bullet sometime, the NDT are getting old.
Have you had any issues when loaded? Worry about a blow out?
Scrounge, thanks for the reply.
I found the brake lights switch. It seemed ok, so I started tracking the wire back to the cab. It was cut near the cab. Had to add a little bit of wire, but works properly now.
Thanks
Guys, thanks for all the help. The culprit was the temp switch behind the shutter. I was thinking this was not the issue since the shutter opens properly, but I believe it was working loose. Cleaned it up and she keeps running now.
I checked the transducer connections. Everything looks good. I...
My M51A2 brake lights work, but the brakes will not turn them on. I haven't been able to track down a switch.
What signals the brake lights to come on when hitting brakes?
Looked to be around at start 30psi, running around 50 now. Checked oil after it ran a few seconds a little above the check mark.
Hertz gauge not moving above 55, going to have to find a replacement soon. Don't like running it without one.
Don't have roach clips any other suggestions on connecting 8 to 9?
I've disconnected the power to the pump.
Going to look for a little wire I can make a jumper.
Mep002a trouble shooting
My mep002a has been running without many issues at 1993hrs. Today I crank her up. Switch fuel on, sounds like a fuel pump might have took a dive. Not making the normal ticking noise, more of a zinging. Try and crank her. Everything as normal until I release the start...
Any suggestions on the front axle vent. I've tried cleaning the valve and it moves freely, but I am still getting pressure built up in the axle. I have gear oil leaking out the passenger side axle seal.
I am planning on doing a rebuild soon, boots are shot. But just trying to get by for now. I...
Fasttruck, thank you again.
Spoke to White Owl today. I told him what me and Fasttruck figured out. Fasttruck he said he has been doing this longer than 40 year and still didn't know it either. But luckily he is going to ship me the plate. Thank you White Owl, was dreading the trip back.
I think that's what it is. But to hear the clerk at White Owl a 5 ton mount is a 5 ton mount. But if it was it would fit on my 5 ton lol. He also said that were the only kind he has. Hate to drive all the way up there just to return it. If I can find someone with the mount I need, maybe trade...
The dump truck and the tractor in #53 have the different mounts. The dump truck has the larger mount I need. The tractor mount is the smaller mount I got.
