    PTO seal replacement

    You're right about the dial indicator. No way to get it between the frame and the PTO. You may want to try your edit again. I'm still seeing :cool:.

    1992 D7H Cat Dozer inspection needed at Marine Corps Logistics Base Barstow CA.

    Holy crap! :shock: I can buy D8Ks around here all day long for half that.

    Major engine oil leak

    It's engine oil for sure. front, top of oil pan is covered in oil. The only thing that could be up in that area is oil or coolant. Jwright, Did the balancer have oil on it when you're seal went out? That's the only thing that has me puzzled. Seems to me if it was the seal it would throw oil all...

    Need Advise

    Ok, I have to ask. What are the M101 mounted tanks used for? I've never seen one mounted under a M101. I'm thinking to carry fuel for equipment but how do you get it out of the tank?

    Quick GL Question: If GL "Lot #" is greater than 6000 on a vehicle....

    If it list the quantity in pounds instead of number of items it's a scrap sale. That's usually how I take a quick look at the listing and can tell. Scrap sales aren't all bad though. You can find good equipment listed as scrap sometimes. Just make sure it doesn't say "mutilation required"...

    Major engine oil leak

    Gimp, top of the engine is dry as a bone. The best I can tell it's coming from the front oil pan bolts. I haven't ruled out the front seal but I'm leaning toward the oil pan (plus it's easier to install a oil pan gasket than it is to install a front seal).

    Major engine oil leak

    I took about a 30 mile drive in the deuce today. When I got home I walked around to the passenger side and noticed oil splattered on the step. Upon further investigation the axle and front of the oil pan is covered in engine oil. My first thought was the front seal but when I looked closer the...

    Multifuel 465 Hydraulic Pump Fluid

    Original LD465 engines didn't have hyd pumps on them in the deuce application.

    Roar or chatter under drivers side

    Did you check the short shaft between the trans and t-case? I know this shaft is notorious for getting loose on the deuce.

    See through Multifuel

    Yes, they can be a pain to reset. Some people will hop into a Detroit powered truck and think the emergency stop is the engine stop cable. When they pull it you have to reset the flaps. We have an old Mack with a Detroit and the flaps have a lot of wear. The flaps will hang in the closed...

    Deuce to be Bobbed A2 or A3?

    The air assist steering will bolt right on a A2. Some A2s have the air steering.

    Water fording

    Water is fun but I don't like the maintenance it requires.

    Deuce to be Bobbed A2 or A3?

    At the risk of starting another A2/A3 war I'll give my 2cents. The A3 does have improvements over the A2 IMO. I don't think it's worth that much over the A2 though. That and I personally don't like the looks of them. If you like the looks of an A3 and want a auto trans, Cat engine, air...

    What PTO is this?

    No.

    What PTO is this?

    Really? It doesn't look like the 5-ton PTOs I've seen. I did think the gear type and placement kind of looked like a 5-ton. Which truck would have used this PTO?

    Old Cummins engine

    Does anybody know if the turbo system will fit a 250 Cummins in a 5-ton? Hooty wants it but I don't want to sell it to him if it won't work.

    What PTO is this?

    I googled Arrow Gear and got this- Arrow Gear Overview - General Information "In 1947, Arrow was founded by James J. Cervinka and Frank E. Pielsticker. The company began operation in a small industrial building in Worth, Illinois. After a move to Lyons, Illinois in the 1950s, the company...

    M818 5th wheels question

    Most civilian over the road trucks do not pivot at all from side to side. As a matter of fact, the side to side movement could get you in trouble if you're not careful. If you're going to be loaded heavy on the front of the trailer I'd definitely wouldn't want it to pivot side to side. I'd lock...

    What PTO is this?

    The key is to find out what it goes on. The color leads me to believe it's some sort of MV PTO. I know it doesn't fit a deuce or a 5-ton so that narrows it down a little. Have you done a Google search of the numbers on the tag? If you can't get anywhere with the tag numbers I don't know what...

    fuel gauge issues and front tire wear r

    I'm going to say you have a sending unit issue. Most gauges I've see either work or they don't. Shorts or bad contact in the sending unit rheostat can cause the gauge to jump around crazy.
