Yep! The system is a dual circuit but the one side of the MC pushes fluid to one set of front caliper and the rear calipers and the other side of the MC pushes fluid to the other set of front caliper. Front set or rear set on front axle...not set on one side or the other. Like you have ALL...

I went flying off of the side of my truck and tubled down the yard. I think I may have seen my Pop laugh harder...not sure. Ouch.

I know tire pressure was asked a couple of times in this thread but I don't think it was really really stressed like it should be. Wanna delaminate ANY tire? -run it with the pressure low and it will build up heat until it goes. The Michelin radials are tough tires and not some fly by night tire...

You can also get a small electric fuel pump and hook it into the vent line on the MC. Turn it on and let if perk along building up it's small, like 5psi, in the brake lines. Make sure your reservoir is large enough that you don't run the pump dry. You need just one soldier then and can put a...

Not trying to hijack the thread just putting something out there for folks to chew on. My 406 Unimog came factory with 18" four wheels disc brakes with TWO calipers on EACH front wheel then single/one per side on the rears. THAT is disc brakes with HEAVY in mind.

Sizing and building all the hydraulics is/was gonna be a pretty big nut too. $$$$

It DOES have boom down power as they're double acting cylinders for the boom. It must have boom down pressure to overcome the load holding valves. They hold the weight and pressure on the hydraulic system so the pressure isn't strictly held at the valve like a simple double acting system. The...

Kiss your brake pads goodbye! :jumpin: :mrgreen:

Bingo. When I had my Dodge Viper it cost me less to insure that than a 3/4 ton GMC. My insurance company said she asked the underwriter if that was correct and he told her literally, "I'm having a good day today, so yes." Sort of sucks it can be that discretionary however. The bad part is...

Yep, I stroll over the 'Exchange frequently. The SEE trucks seem a lot more purpose built than our trucks and having the hoe fold over and lay down should help too. I was talking to a guy in Norway that said he had driven them and it felt a little spooky with the hoe retracted up on the 406's...

It'll sound great with ear plugs but you will NOT be able to drive it to top rpm's with no ear plugs. My crane truck is a naturally aspirated V8 and it is HELLA LOUD.

TedG- I may have some spare parts for you as my '77 Mog was originally equipped like yours but the hoe and blade were taken off. I still have the tank, frame struss, etc that went with it. There was an HMMH on GL a month ago out in WA with the other bunch of SEE trucks they sold. Last SEE in...

If you meant the pic I posted, it's a bolt together aluminum (sometimes steel) band with heavy rubber compression ends on it.

Yep, local feed mill if you have one. My place charges $2 to scale you. Pull just the front on and get your weight, then full truck, then if you really want to be sure you can just weigh the tandems. My crane truck was 7980lbs front and 10,020lbs rear. Was only off on the total 18,000lbs by...

Possibly Barrman or Quai (sp?). 40Grit's 715 isn't quite ready yet...

Oh, so weight it and see where you end up. I've been seeing tractors in the area of 21,000 so you may get lucky and have a bobbed one come in with a couple thousand pounds of that and under the 26,001 keeping you out of CDL territory. One other issue would be brakes. Full air brakes will...

Well with bobbing it you get away from the 3 axle commercial law that's floating around. The other issue would be weight. Class C will get you up to 26,000lbs GVWR. 26,001lb and up and you need a commercial license of some sort. Ha, ha... OR... Directly from the 'Commonwealth of...

Threatening to take business elsewhere *may* get you covered until something happens and they just sting with a claim denial then. Really...so it's only a 6 ton truck with bed, frame, axle, brake, and tire size modification? Sometimes the insurance companies aren't just being spiteful pricks...

Get the link back in place like Kenny said and ratchet strap it over to the spring pack to keep tension on it in the right direction. Also, look at the others to see is any of them look like they'll let go on the way home. If any are questionable, swing a strap around them too. You'll know if...

People are getting $400 to $600 for the PTO's. It may be worth offering them $100 to move the pile for you...
