Now this is what we need, who has a tank, lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXG-6NFPGn8

Depending on the model of the wrecker is why I said brake(s), 939 series would have the spring parking brakes on the rear axles and the wee little axle brake. I never understood why they put a single drum brake and expect it to last in the hands of a private. Ouch, makes me cringe thinking...

Now a bulldozer would be perfect, shut it down and let the tracks lock and that is one heck of a dead weight, and it can be driven back. Those hydraulic motors have good motor brakes in them.

Putting a lot of undo stress on the parking brake(s) imho. I like the idea of a concrete block, just have to get it back to the starting point somehow.

Problem with just rolling weight is it is very easy to pull. I pulled my 818 with my 4 wheeler couple weeks ago when my batteries died. You would have to have resistive pulling to get the results you are looking for. Edit: Get someone out there with a 1070 as dead rolling weight and that...

I'll look into that. Edit: I looked into it, lol Kentwood Raceway does tractor pulls

Need something further south, Mississippi, Louisiana. I'll put the 818 in one for giggles.

From my understanding from the guy who had is computer replaced the het load is proprietorial and Oshkosh has to change the values. I know when we couldn't mess with anything on our miltopes, Oshkosh reps had their secret squirrel software to change stuff. Df would know for sure, he has spent...

Will do, I thought about that after typing it.

That problem sort of sounds very similar to the truck I was driving. Would stall when dropping into first. Coupled with the charging issue I bet it was the darn computer messing up. I'll defiantly pass that on to the owner for his guy to check that out.

Food for thought, when doing really heavy loads like that manually shift the auto and keep it in 2nd. Dropping it in first will after being in second would just wind out to much, second is just right for the girls. Now of you started in first low and kept the rpms at the max torque level I...

Well waiting on more parts so I decided to get the grinder out and knock some paint and surface rust off and paint a little. Before anyone says it, wife painted the hub and I have to take some fine sand paper to the bearing piece to get the paint off. I'm going to wait to do it so it will stay...

Details, blueprints, diagrams, impressive, video, wow

I was using a pilot tool, set it straight and when I started tapping it in it went crooked, getting it out is where the fun was. The big carrier is still in the axle housing so I'm having to stand up behind it to hold it up and tap it in. It is being a real PITA.

I'm going to get some dry ice when the new assemblies come in and freeze them and heat up the area at the same time. She is fighting me that is for sure, sorta like my second wife, I think they might be related, lol

I know some army mechanics that would actually do that too..

I got the axle back together so it'll work for now. Right now I'm taking the grinding wheel to everything that has been setting out and painting them. Tomorrow or Monday I'm going to start disassembling the passenger side and try the long pole idea to get the seal carrier out then grind and...

I just ordered two new complete assemblies from boyce equipment, now I just have to get the rest of the inner seal carrier out. I'll try freezing it, but time is running thin on this.

Went to install the new inner seal and it will not seat in. Used a seal driver kit and all I managed to do was destroy two brand new seals. Start pressing the seal in straight and it goes crooked and bends the casing. I don't know what to do anymore, I officially give up on this. Truck is...

Re-read then get back with me. Commas are there for a reason.
