Thanks all ! When I get some time I'm going to rebuild the old and get a list of parts incase anyone needs it for in the future,I have yet to see a rebuild kit available for the 5 tons. Jim

Did you try swapping the air lines . There was a post a few weeks back were the lines from the Depot were swapped and had a simular problem. Just a thought.

THe 395 s are the tallest without them hitting.

Did you check with our friend Jim Henry. He has a couple M916s and M915s down there.8)

The hydraulic system only powers the winch and is driven by the PTO . I hope this helps.

I was meaning dollars, LOL But good to know it will do the speed limit ;)

What a Beautiful machine !! :drool: If you don't mind me asking whats a unit like that run ??

Do yourself a hugh favor and replace the fuel line from the filter to the pump on the engine. Its a AN10 ends and you can go 1/2 or 3/8 hose. They are known for cracking and loosing prime and making them really hard starting. I just replaced mine a few weeks back and the best money I have spent...

Are you sure your rear axles are just not out left to right instead of front to back ?Its normal for a deuce and 5 tons to have the axles move left to right arount 2 "s its seen more in the middle axle than the rear. they move like that under hard turning and make lovely noise lol .

I did a search For 5 ton M809 or M813,M814, M816, M817 , M818, M819 , M820 ,Steering box replacment So I decided to give you a heads up if you ever need to do 1. It was more involved than I initially though due to a hidden bolt. I first removed the Steering box cover, Then removed lines from the...

I think its a neat idea , But you need the Brass pole and girls to dance around it to make it a home run ! LOL :mrgreen:

Anyone have a link ? I must have missed it ?

Its a project. But I do believe it could run again. As far as the air pressure it could be something as simple as a damaged hose or stuck air govener.

Sign me up !! I have a M920

Sorry I'm running on no sleep , lol. Yes I double checked and both valves are screwed out. It doesnt mean there not clogged with goop. I may have a chance this weekend to pull them out if the steering gearbox swap goes easy. all good info so far.

The truck seems to take forever to warm up. I have blocked the radiator with cardboard but even then it just will hit 190 on the gauge if im lucky. I didn't know if moving 1 of the hoses to the water pump would add heat to the unit ? Fan runs all the time .Is it on a air clutch like the m920 ...

Ok After doing several searches I haven't really found my answers. I have a Coolant heater in my M813 on a 30 degree day I may be lucky to see mid 50s in the cab ( I know these trucks are leaky and have no insulation ) So I'm wondering if thats the best I can expect ? also how hard of a job is...

Would also be interested in a spare generator and If there is a good radiator ? I'll be up in Aberdeen tomorrow , Not sure if thats near you or not. I'll PM you my # . Thank you Jim
