He got a good deal, even if he has to part it out.

The best thing to do is just watch Craigslist. I've seen several on there in the middle TN area.

As I said in the other thread, blowers are for gas engines. A turbo setup for a NHC250 is a bolt on project that can be had fairly cheap. A blower setup is going to require some engineering and fab/machine work. A turbo will provide more than enough boost to destroy the NHC250. I'm just trying...

Why would you want a power robbing blower when the turbo works more or less for free? Only blowers that belong on diesels are old Detroits (because they won't run without one). I'd also be interested to see how you would drive a blower on a NHC250. Blowers for the most part are for gas engines.

While talking about the PTO forward and reverse issue something came to mind. If you run a deuce t-case PTO in reverse, will the PTO lube pump work? I'm thinking yes because I think it's a piston pump but I'm not sure. I've never had one apart.

If you put the trans in reverse, the M939 truck's t-case PTO will go in reverse. It won't run the hyd pump like that but it will turn backwards. The low range reverse lockout may prevent this from happening in stock form but I'm not sure (mine has been disabled).

If it's like most GSA trucks that look like that, it's going to have a few issues at the very least to deal with. If you paid less than $2K you did ok though. I'd say the hyd winch setup alone would be worth $1,500+ if you end up having to part it.

The t-case PTO will spin one direction with the trans in forward gear and the opposite direction with the trans in reverse (I'd have to go out and look at the truck to tell you what direction it spins in which gear). With the M939 trucks, the engine pretty much has to be ran at governed speed...

Not if you put the trans in reverse. That doesn't give you power down. If you spin a hyd pump backwards, it will do nothing but burn up if you run it backwards very long. Power down is accomplished in the valving and has nothing to do with PTO rotation. I'm not saying they don't make one...

The m939 trucks have a trans PTO that is only rear output and is single speed, in one direction. The only thing it's used for in OEM configuration is to power a hyd pump for the front winch. I will add that the OEM hyd pump has more than enough capacity to run other hyd driven items also (around...

I've got a good take-out air shift but I'm a pretty good ways away.

We run 3 civilian road tractors and my experience I was speaking of was with them. I really don't see how you could collect debris inside the threads even if used mainly off-road though. We only anti-seize the outer nuts, not the studs. The only reason we do this is to keep the thimble from...

Is it legal to ride down the road with the windshield down? I know in TN if you ride a motorcycle without a windshield you have to have goggles on.

Ron, you may be right about the DOT but we've been anti-seizing the outer nuts for at least 30 years. I will admit I've never been through a DOT inspection where they looked at the nuts that close though. What we've found is the instances of the thimble spinning while trying to remove the outer...

Where they break is the pivot point where the tongue attaches to the bed. I do think you could beef up the pivot to make it stronger and hold but you may bend the tongue. They will dump but it's not that steep. Material will slide out easier with it dumped but you'll still have to shovel most...

Here is my take on it, Do I like the new "upgrade"? No. Did Chris ask for my opinion or would I expect him to? No. I think the main reason I don't like it is I don't do good with change and I'm not computer savvy enough to jump right into a new operating system and know what I'm doing. Patracy...

I can see logging on or off in something like chat depending on who is there but I really don't see it in the forum. The forum isn't real time and I just go to "new post" and see what's been posted since I was here last. I have to admit that I would look and see who was on-line when it was more...

I haven't had experience with the 8.3 but The NHC 250 sucks way more fuel than the LDT 465.

Pine is one of the weakest woods there is. It's used so much because it's cheap. You should also have the wood go all the way down to the bottom of the hole, it will be stronger that way. The only oak wood you'll likely find at the local lumber yard will probably be high grade cabinet quality...

Use oak (preferably white oak). Or you could find a old set of troop seats and use the metal standards from them. I wouldn't want them so tight I have to drive them in either. If you ever do break one off or want to remove the sides you're going to have a hard time getting the standards out.
