Better flip her back over first! OR, all that purty new paint's gonna drip right off into the sky ;)

Inverted flare on the M809-series. 1/2" supply and 3/8" return. I believe the M939-series is the same. http://www.discounthydraulichose.com/Inverted_Flare_Hydraulic_Tube_Fittings_s/241.htm

M931 Air Brakes for M818 I picked up some front axle brake parts from an M931A1 donor truck this past Thursday morning up in the California High Desert. I am converting my M818 to full air brakes and have decided on wedge brakes for the front due to ease of installation without modification...

Make sure you open it up and feed the little gremlin inside ever so often. Ya' don't want him cranky ;)

No, actually it's kinda' groovy!

I have two of these. I found one used on eBay for a decent price. It doesn't show on the webpage, but it has a slot on the back side for easy handling and to run a chain through if you need to secure them. They work nicely with 11.00R20's. https://www.chocks.com/product/hwc7

Good news...fairly easy fix :) Bad news...not the cheapest part :(

I have a pintle left over from when I had the tow bar in my old bed. I haven't devised an effective way to use it with the new storage.

I finally settled on under bed storage for my towbar since putting on the new dropside bed last August. I used a shackle mount bolted to the bed under the floor with a 1/4" steel backing plate in the bed for strength. A grade 5 7/8"-9 X 10" bolt with nut and washer secure it to the shackle mount...

Tow bar storage/shifter handle And now back to our regularly scheduled program...with pictures, even! I finally settled on under bed storage for my towbar since putting on the new dropside bed last August. I used a shackle mount bolted to the bed under the floor with a 1/4" steel backing plate...

I chock the M818 as a rule of thumb no matter what. I don't have the springs brakes to fall back and I don't leave the main in gear. That drum brake on the rear drive shaft is iffy at best. Last year at a car show my son was showing the cab to another child. Well, that child inadvertantly...

My 818 averages 53 on 11R20's...55 down hill with a tail wind. I couldn't imagine that beast going faster. Not in a hurry here. I tell folks, "I don't get anywhere fast, but I look darn good gettin' there!" ;)

Wow! Delectable [thumbzup] Doesn't look worthy of a rebuild. Too much corrosion.

I keep missing these. This month not so fast. Here again is the Hannibal 8...

I believe that may be propositioned with highly refrigerated brewed beverages that are frequently available in mass quantities ;)

Ah! BUT, alas, we assembled every hand-operated metallic implement in all this fair land! BUT, it 'tis I...I, who neglected to record, in wondrous digital light, this occasion for posterity for lack of a photographic device! For this, I shall bear the shame ;) No, really, to much greasy...

Just posting up a shout out to our resident Cummins diesel all knowing Dr. and guru, WillWagner. Brother Will came out to my neck of the woods on a Saturday morning recently and helped me with a leaky rocker box issue. He has also helped me out in the past with other engine and parts obtaining...

Do they have the transfer case cylinder kits? The problem can manifest there also.

For the poppet valves complete, I have sent you some eBay links via PM.

The rebuild kits are not and, I don't believe, have ever been on the website. When I call Memphis, I always talk to the parts guys directly. They have always been very courteous and knowledgeable and always seem to have what I was looking for.
