RE: Re: RE: LOUD bang in drive train....M813 Could just be a gummy actuator or valve then. I need to take mine apart and clean all the junk out of them. I will post pics.

That's what my 818 did when I first tried to drive it. It was fine in reverse, but forward gears it would bang all of a sudden. I took the front drive-shaft out to get it home. If you pull the drive-shaft, make sure you jack one wheel off the ground first to relieve any wind-up in the...

Hey Bob, I don't think I had those pics when I talked to you about it. I think we just looked at the GL pics. A SS friend that lives near Bragg ran through and snapped some pics for me when I told him I wanted to bid on it. I'd love to see it up close sometime. Mike, if you get it running...

Ah-ha! Found the pics. Mike, I hope you don't mind me posting these. If you do, let me know and I will take them down. As you can see, it is a very cool and very unique Mog. The data plate calls it a FLU419. I am jealous, Mike. I can't wait to see it up and running. Please post a vid...

Hey Bob! Always nice to see you on SS. I remember having a discussion about this truck with you before it came up on GL. It doesn't look like a HMMH to me. I know I have some pics around here of it. I don't think it had any of the hydraulic fittings in the front next to the implement plate...

According to the guy that runs the yard at Bragg, this one was only used as a yard truck on the Bragg lot. It never had a bucket or a back-hoe mounted to it. It had a porta-crane mounted in the bed and some stiff-legs mounted under the bed to support it while using the crane. It does not...

No problem, Mike. I just got a little riled up I guess. Kai Serrano would be an excellent contact. There are some good guys on the Rocky Mountain Moggers site too.

Mike Pop, I am not guessing at what the problem it. I am trying to systematically eliminate possible problems through conversations with the owner. I have diagnosed a lot of diesel issues over the years including the OM617 in my 300SD. They may not have been OM352 unimog diesels, but a lot of...

All of these answers and more can be found in the help section on GL. There is a whole section on how to pay, vehicle removal, EUC's, and SF-97's. http://www.govliquidation.com/help/index.html

Welcome gwalker!! Looks like a great 715 to me!!

Hey Mike, You don't really mean gas right? Are you using diesel and just calling it gas? I'm not being a smart-ass. I just want to make sure we are all using the same terminology to avoid confusion. When you are purging air from a fuel system, the best thing to do in my experience is to...

Sorry, Mike. I may have run the bid up on you. I'm glad an SS guy got it though. So, why do you think the injection pump is bad? Are you getting fuel to the IP? If it has been sitting a long time the lines could be full of air and diesels don't run well on air as you know. If you are...

Sounds good Dave. Keep me posted if you decide not to use it or if you stumble across another one. Thanks!

Sounds good guys. I offered them a couple of years ago and we probably only sold 10. I will come up with a new design and get them listed for sale! If anyone has any particular design in mind, please PM me. If I use your idea, you get a free one!

Found another pic in my M939 albums:

Nice pic Dave :P Here's one of the lines hanging loose. I don't have the truck in front of me to tell you what kind they are though. Let me know if you want the original pic that you can zoom in on. As an aside, do you know where there any M939 winches for sale?

You would need an MK-48 power unit to bolt to front. There are some good pics on the Olive Drab site: http://www.olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_lvs_mk18.php I saw a MK-48 unit for sale on GL last year. That would be fun.

RE: Re: My first 5-ton purchase from GL The 809 series trucks are great. One issue that seems to come up with some frequency is a gummed up sprag control mechanism. If you are driving it home, make sure that when you are going from 1 to R you hear a thunk. That is the sprag control...

Hi Larry. Welcome to SS. I have seen a couple of those on GL lately. Neat looking rig. What's your plan for it in TX?

:lol: They should make it run real smooth down the highway too. Not like the oval NDT's on my truck :roll:
