The belt pump will work fine running a detachable neck trailer. They don't take much GPM. Almost all pumps (PTO, electric, belt, etc) are capable of the same PSI. That means that they are all capable of doing just about anything you want them to do. The GPM varies a lot though. It just depends...

Yes. 100%

That's what I've been saying but nobody seems to listen. If you shift your sycro trans without a clutch, pretty soon it won't shift hardly with the clutch. I've seen too many trans with the sycros shot because of clutchless shifting. The deuce trans is no Roadranger and shouldn't be shifted as...

I'm almost 100% sure the A3 motor setup won't fit with the stock radiator. There's not a whole lot of room to spare with the stock driveshaft and the hyd motor is much larger. You should be able to remote mount the motor to the truck frame somehow and use a short driveshaft though. Either that...

Look at about 2:00. That's how not to release a clutch. Very hard on driveline.

If your crank looks ok, You can put new bearings in without dissembling it further than you already have. The rods are self explanatory. On the mains, loosen all the caps so the crank drops down a little. Then take a soft object (you don't want to score the crank) and push the upper bearing out...

To each his own but I don't stay in the throttle until after the shift. I will let off the accelerator as I depress the clutch, Shift gears, let out on the clutch, and get back on the accelerator. You should ease out on the clutch when taking off. Don't slip it excessively but don't just pop...

Glen, If you'll go ahead and PM me what I owe you for the driveshaft I'll sent the payment right out. I could also use a set of engine mud guards off of a M939. If you could just pull a set so they don't get crushed I'd really appreciate it. I'm in no hurry for them but I can go ahead and send...

There's no telling how many times I've took off a flare or compression fitting and find that somebody has applied sealant. Does more harm than good.

That is a slight possibility. I've seen it before. I can't tell from the pics for sure but it looks like waded up thin material rather than threads. Kind of like the material piled up on itself before coming out.

Yes they expire every two years. You're not required to notify the state when you renew though. The only time you're required to notify the state of your current medical card is when stopped by a LEO or when you renew your DL. There is no form you send in to the state. Actually, after this...

Kind of looks like bearing material to me. Best thing to do is drop the pan and start pulling caps and take a good look at the bearings and their journals. If your lucky you don't have any crank damage and can just roll new bearings in and be good. If any bearings have spun (which I suspect) the...

I'm not too familiar with the A3 but I'd assume it's a rod going from the pedal to the IP. Check to make sure the rod isn't binding. There should also be a return spring. You could also try a lighter spring but you don't want your pedal too easy. A too soft pedal makes it hard to maintain a...

What are you planning on operating with the wet kit? Any belt drive pumps I've seen aren't really suitable for things such as a dump trailer. The GPM of belt pumps will make a dump trailer painfully slow to dump.

State regs may have changed but not federal regs. There is no such yearly medical card requirement in TN. You are required in TN to maintain a medical card with a CDL and will be checked if stopped by LEO or when you go to renew your DL.

I've got a Class A CDL so all this discussion really has no bearing on me personally. It's not a bad idea to go ahead and get your CDL even if it's not required. I've had mine since I was 18. I deal with DOT regs on a daily basis. It almost takes a lawyer to figure them all out. There are very...

Yea I know. Making a flange and buying the driveline parts at TSC is cheaper than buying a winch shaft though. Rick, The air setup is just for the valve. The valve is spring centered inside the valve. With the air switch I installed, when you pull it out it sends air pressure to one side of...

I just went through all this installing a lime spreader bed on a M936- http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-mods-hot-rodding/85285-m936-m936-no-more.html . Of coarse I used the stock winch pump for my application. I researched the specs for the stock pump and they were more than enough for my needs.

I will argue that MVs don't have "air over hyd" brakes. In true air over hyd brakes, when you loose air pressure you loose 100% of your brakes. A military vehicle is really no different than 99% of passenger cars out on the road. The only difference is they use air pressure to boost the brakes...

The M939 trucks with front winch have a trans PTO powering a Vickers pump. the stock pump is rated for 14 GPM @ 1200 RPM. In reality the pump is producing close to 25 GPM at wide open throttle. So the answer is yes, the trans PTO is more than capable for running the knuckleboom. I don't have...
