    m920 and m1076

    I recovered my and "M1075's" m1076 trailers from Rapid City SD yesterday. We had a Gary from JK Crane Service Inc (605-381-5491) come out to the pickup location and stack one trailer on top the other. He was excellent to work with as was Ray from GL. There was a pesky pheasant that was...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    Sorry Ive been changing injectors on the m920 getting ready for a big trip... I got the adapters from Capus in England. I bought five of them to keep in the m916 and m920 so I could keep the big fifth wheel and use on trailers with 2 inch kingpins...

    5th Wheel Plate M920/M916

    the m916 and m920 have oscillating fifth wheels and they are in a "sled" that moves left and right in a kind of oval. It is not a simple hinge like the m818 so no wedges are needed. It works great especially in the country where the roads are crowned, without it when I turn a corner with the...

    900A1/A2 vs. HEMTT Rims?

    the five ton wheels are only rated for around 9000 lbs(maybe 9500) and lower pressure(90 or 95 psi) in case you ever really load your truck heavy like I do... I use a cut off saw to cut the large end off of the thimble nut and then thread it on, put the hemtt wheel on that and then tighten down...

    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    There is no need to grind the drums to make the valve stem fit...Just grind the back down on the valve stem where it would contact the drum. I did this on my m919 and just did it for my 920 and have hauled many thousands of bushels of grain with no problems. I just ground on it and then put it...

    my 2000 4x4 suburban manual said it can be towed with the trans in park and tranfercase in neutral. I towed it from ND to NE with no problems. I just assumed the same would work on my 1009 and towed it home with my m915a1....the transfercase is now stuck in low 4x4 and when I put it in park it...

    Overkill Customs M920 Build

    Tactical truck, I bet your afc\aneroid(im not sure of the proper terminology) diaphram has a hole in it. The ip is not supposed to give extra fuel until it builds up some boost. If the diaphram has a hole in it the boost will not get to the proper place.

    M920 Wet kit

    the m919 has the same pto as my m920/916 but i am driving a enclosed grain truck hyd pump with a pto drive shaft. The m920/m916 has a married pump and I think it is probably big enough to drive anything you want. Ill try and get some info off of the pump so you can spec it out...If you dont...

    M920 Wet kit

    yes and yes but when using the hydraulics and in gear you will have to be moving as the pto will not be turning under load unless you rev it up. Thats the way my m919 with the dump box works anyway. My 920 has outlets for aux hyd power but the control is behind the cab
