    8.3L Cummins from an excavator

    If it came out of an off road piece of machinery, most likely 24vdc. The cal will need changing to an automotive type because the cal in is set at variable speed, it will drive like a CAT powered truck, you can try it like that though. IIRC, FW hsg from a mechanical 8.3 will swap over to the...

    M123

    If you go to the vid in the first post, at 18 seconds you can see the device. It can be seen at 46 seconds in the 2nd vid too. It is not mounted to anything except at the place that looks like the mount fasttruck posted in the first pic in post 19

    M123

    As far as the steering brakes go, the lever and buttons still move, did not try them when moving it for fear that something would stick or fail when it was in the middle of the compound. More work to be done on it at a later date, I will tinker with them then. I was under it for a bit hitting it...

    Trying to chase the cause of offset steering wheel.

    Is it lifted and maybe the first hard wheeling outingor maybe it is just getting old? If the springs sag, the steering wheel will do that. A drop drag link fixes that. My K30 continually did that when I used it. Here is an example... https://www.roughcountry.com/adjustable-drag-link-6619.html

    How do you stop a m809 if the brakes fail?

    Make a trap door in the floor....

    M923a1 front axle in the rear

    IDK about this statement, GM made 1/2 ton pick ups that had rear steering and they were not locked out, it worked both at low and highway speeds, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrasteer

    M939A2 lift pump replacement - part number 3936316

    The cap on the inlet is interchangeable. You can swap the 3/4 pipe one to the new pump, just be careful, big spring pressure there. Also, there is a screen inside the cap that is the inlet. I have seen it plug with debris and give the symptom of a failed lift pump but in reality, there is just a...

    M923 nhc250 replaced injector pump still no joy!

    All, a bit longer than that. I hear ya on the rain! It has been pouring here for two days. No need to pull the boxes, loosen and pull the injector adjuster, flop the lever back and then pull the hold downs and injectors....don't drop the hold down bolts down the push tube cavity!

    Jack and stand capacities for 5 tons

    I had a 20 ton air/hyd HF jack. It worked great for me, I gave it to another SS member by me after I sold my truck, he had it fail on him, using it on a M916.

    M923 nhc250 replaced injector pump still no joy!

    No, injection is done by the camshaft lifting a push tube, pushing up on a rocker and the rocker pushing a plunger down into the cup of the injector, no pop off like a bosch system, just the action of the plunger forcing the trapped low pressure fuel through 7 microscopic holes on the end of the...

    M923 nhc250 replaced injector pump still no joy!

    Ahh, I see it, it is a 2 PSI check valve....no idea why it would be put there. Those are usually installed if the fuel system....tank and plumbing, are higher than the engine....cranes, boats, industrial stuff. From all you have done and the cranking pressure, IMHO, it is toward the injector...

    What bypass fitting are you referencing? I could not see what you did in the pic with the circled things.

    None of the fittings are BSP, that is Brittish Standard Pipe. All are NTP to inverted flare

    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    Wow, today is the first time I saw this. I have no words. I never met Ron, but have had alot of interaction here on SS with him. It feels like a kick in the gut, like when Devin passed, djfreema...I think of him often, well, daily. I will think of Ron often and say a kind word daily. I honestly...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I have a thermal switch for this, can be wired NO or NC!

    M923 nhc250 replaced injector pump still no joy!

    There should be no measurable fuel pressure when cranking or at idle. The only way to get that is to install an orificed test fitting on the outlet of the pump causing the pump to see a demand for fuel. This bothered me enough to call a guy I worked with that did nothing but pumps for 22 of the...
