Yes I will take them apart, I am curious. I would of thought that with them disconnected that one would draw back . Its got me stumped.

I had time this morning to experiment with the hydraulic control valve adjustment, and I adjusted it all the way either direction and inbetween. The way it was originally was the best adjustment. So I thought I would disconnect the piston ends completely from the raised body. With props in and...

Nifty!

Oh yeah we used to climb like monkeys back in our twenties! Now I think about every step. I will be adding a couple steps to the M51 cause the old knees dont want to cooperate. I have had knee trouble since I was 16.

Yes that body looks real nice! Is that a command car? Nice work! BTW, I hate to see all the old stuff getting scrapped!

Thanks guys for your advice, I am going to think about it. I appreciate the input. If it wasnt for this site, I wouldnt get anywhere. Forgot to say thanks, thats all. About rebuilding them, with the bent rams, I dont want to throw good money at these and it sounds risky. I have a used set lined...

Both rams have a slight bend. 1/4 inch. One has a broken ring in it. I am thinking of pulling them and replacing with a set of used ones. It chatters on the way up and on the way down. My gut feeling is that these maybe too far gone to save.

:oops: My post has disappeared about the dump body that will not fully lower. Comes down halfway. The manual says to adjust the control valve. What do you guys think? :oops: Murphy has got to GO!!! :twisted:

I looked it up in the M211 manual, but it doesnt go into details on float adjustment. Has facts about the governor and vacuum things but looks like I couldnt find what you wanted. Maybe a carb specialist?

And I thought Murphy was busy entertaining Wreckerman! Proves he gets around all over at the same time! Glad you didnt get hurt.

I even ran it without the cap on the resevoir incase it wanted to purge some. The level checks ok on the dipstick.. I was reading another manual which has the same set up and it said to adjust the valve body. But why would it work half the time?Seems that if it worked on the top part of the...

Got the dump body installed on the frame. It raises fine and all the way. It will only lower halfway. I tried bleeding the pistons but all I get is fluid, dont here any air coming out. I ran it up and down as far as I could trying to get it down. It has power down and I can tell that is working...

Yes, same here! :ditto:

Dont forget to close the windows on that for the night.! Fun looking machine! I was drooling again.

At least with those bib overalls, one doesnt spend half his time constantly pulling up his pants. 2cents

Hey n3sq, I am just down the road in Hallstead, what vehicle do you own?

Sounds like an M135. If it is, it originally came with singled rear wheels and 1100-20's :wink: I would like you to find out where he purchased the wheels to fit it? They are alot easier to change tires on and off. I am sure other guys would like to know too. :lol: [/i]What would you want for...
