Can anyone confirm for me that, with the shear pin gone, I should be able to simply slip the PTO driveshaft back and off of the winch input shaft? In my case, the winch is a 'spare' that I'm going to adapt to electric-motor drive, so to get started, I need to pull the remainder of the...

Long after my purchase, I am requesting an SF-97 through GL. In filling out the online request form, I have to fill in some blanks to provide vehicle info - but I'm thinking it's all information that should be on record to begin with, either because it was standard for that vehicle, or (in the...

I've not used my 5-ton (M-51 dump) for years now while working on it sporadically. Getting it running recently, I noticed that for some reason now, the two transmission PTO shafts spin always - the only thing that halts them is the clutch being pressed. (On this variant, one shaft runs front...

I'm doing an entirely-too-rare oil-change on my multifuel. Either I forgot this last time, or it's something new: with the OF canisters off, the open casting reveals what looks like it might be a quart or so of pooled oil - that can't easily be drained from those deep casting recesses. Since...

The forums would be immensely more useful if the "Search" function worked like most others do, i.e. if it were something that resembles a standard Boolean search. Unless I have overlooked a key "search" feature set, right now, users like me are going to get identical results from any of the...

I've been pondering hardware options to filter my onboard compressed air, I think before it goes into the tanks, since chronic high humidity and oily crap are obviously doing a number on my air-packs. My first thought was to use something from the ground-based world of compressed air, like...

Maybe the "search" function is failing me (er...as usual...) but I can't find any old threads that include a reference to a TM (or whatever) showing an exploded view of the 5-ton MC. Anyone know what TM covers MC rebuilding for the 5-ton? The basic assembly is familiar, but there's this...

In doing some excavation on my steep hillside property, the only feasible place on my cramped steep sloping site to load my 5-ton has been on a dirt-and-gravel temporary driveway that runs sharply up from the narrow street below. With the truck backed up the driveway to amply clear the road...

I've just pulled apart the second of my two air-packs, both of which failed in that 'where'd my brake fluid GO' way (it was all in the air-cylinder, naturally). I'm not seeing any deals on ebay or elsewhere, and I'm kinda fed up with just putting these piles of parts aside for later anyway, so...

Can't find 'em by searching, at least with obvious terms (i.e. "air pack rebuild"). Are there such details in a TM somewhere? If need be, I'm not terribly daunted by blazing my own trail on this...but that could also lead to days of frustration if it doesn't work right... Also curious as to...
