kloppk, your post sent me looking in the right place. checked the KU1 fuse, it was fine, but when I went to see if the fuse to fuse holder was making contact one of the leads popped right off, broken at the crimp inside the plastic sheild. made a new end and its putting out 26.5 volts to the...

oh i just had my pump rebuilt (it was leaking at the shaft) but all stock to my knowledge.

i need to meet up with one of those motor pool guys and see if mine is running well or is dogging it. i have no reference point, so no idea if mine is running well or a dog... it runs smooth - both at idle and under load, starts like a champ, little to no smoke. but it will go from 55/60 on...

NO - I have a small sawmill (hobby) and the wrecker and M1061 trailer now allow me to go get logs I had to pass up before. I've had it about a year and half, its been 50-50 repairs or in service....LOL ...doing all the dog bones now - this thread was due to going to other peoples houses and...

perfect post, i just noticed my charger may also be bad as my batteries just ran down and had to recharge them. will check the ties tonight in the charger, and the voltage output/input at the harness. does any body have a line on replacement chargers, a quick look the other night did not find...

thanks for the input, keep them coming, you all have mostly reinforced my concerns -- it's questionable for any given standard residential driveway of a 4 in pour. just wanted to make sure i wasn't being overly cautious staying off other peoples drives as that can be rather inconvenient at...

Question? have been reluctant to drive/park on anybody's residential (~4 in concrete) driveway for fear of cracking it. any experience out there? assuming the driveway is sound, is 4 in sufficient to support the extra weight of the wrecker? i do drive it on my paver drive way with no affect...

one easy check is to just remove the thermostat and see where it runs.

will have to say replacing all the ends has turned into quite a job. the lower 4 were no problem just a few hours, one of the uppers was just harder, add another 6 hours. but this last one center end is kicking my butt, nut is loose but not off (cant come off till either the spring strong back...

I will have to keep that in mind ....VIP...

simp5782-you da man - just broke the front upper rod free - and was just going to ask if I had to remove the saddle on each axle to get the rod out... didn't see any other option, so thanks for answering that. I put my torque multiplier on the big u-bolts around the springs just to see - and...

74M35a2 - just noticed that you thinned down the wrench on the opposite side I did. wonder if the suspensions on the two trucks are different. I even had to think the shaft a bit. and then it will still not allow the nut to be removed. fab'ing up a wrench like in the first part of this...

success!!!! - guess I started whining for help to soon. broke free, both turning, now just have to get them out - but that should just be a tediously slow job - used a 2 ton come a long to the back of the truck and a much bigger strap so I could pull with out fear plus a whack or two with the...

ahhh that would do it.... sadly I have the truck backed in - no way to get a vehicle behind it. I tried that type pull with a 1.5 ton come along - may try it again with a 2 ton come-along and a better strap. thanks

Ok guys a little input -advice. I have a M936a1, super singles, have successfully removed all four lower bones, have successfully removed the outboard nuts from the uppers. and have successfully pulled one cotter pin out on one center upper nut and one pin I could not remove whole, remains...

thanks for the offer but i sprung for the install tool from big mikes when i ordered the ends, it will install and uninstall the ends. tomorrow i will start the project. tonight i will cut the wrench down to fit.

question, ok two questions, one - did you put anything on the rod ends when pressing the new ones in, anti-size etc..? second - Simp-5782 asked about pre-load, first i've heard. i will check the TM, but not sure i understand how the torque rod/bone would be "pre-loaded" - old off, new on...

here's my M1061a hauling logs

tobyS - hope that holds for you as there are more fun ways to spend... mine were good one week, then noticed the bone had shifted off the rubber by about 1/4 in. and i had only been driving on roads. I bought the pre-attached plates from big mikes - he has a good (enough..LOL) price and has...
