Original motor was NHC250 but I've switched it out to a turbo'd nhc350 due to lack of power in the fields and soft ground......now that engine is a bit weak (it was bought used) and needing attention again after four years running that engine. I see the BCIII's are still holding a price yet and...

ok here it is, I like my old 817, would like to have another someday just from the stand point they are so simple to work on. My problem is 800 series trucks are getting hard to find on Gov planet and other sites. From what I see the 923 series five tons are almost the same as the 800 series...

I've seen it done, lots of times when guys put in different engines into the 800 series trucks, but what I'm wondering is if anyone has had one that really looks good? most of em that I've seen were just weld-em-up and git em out the door jobs. so how about it, anyone have fabrication pics...

Hey Guys, just wondering if there was any salvage yards in MN or W Wisc. Any help would be appreciated........thanks in advance

After a recent conversation in another thread I have been doing a little thinking on this subject and decided to do a little more investigating. I came up with this page from the MN DOT which discusses several issues and hopefully helps someone down the line who is a new owner. The question...

This past summer I swapped engines in my 800 series truck to the 350 Big cam III Cummins, and topped off all the fluids and fired it up, the engine fired up great and of course died but with a little patience we managed to get it running like a top. after running a while I got in and turned...

Outside of the usual dealer furnished videos online, does anyone have any pics of their 915's and 916's I'm interested in possibly buying one for a grain hauler, mostly looking for applications where they are used and how they've been put to work. I'm leaving this thread open for all...

Not really sure what this fitting is for, I found I had no hoses of any sort connected to it at all when I removed the floor panel. The fitting is the middle fitting and is on top of the transmission directly behind the shifting lever and under the floor panel. Anyone know? The truck is an...

Here's a question for you guys that have put the 400 motor in your trucks, are you finding it necessary to swap your bell housings to fit your transmissions or are they the same bell housings on the 250 as the 400's? what about the clutch plates vs. input shafts on the transmissions? are they...

This might sound like a dumb hypothetical question here, but I just can't but wonder. In the older 800 series trucks we find the old work horse NHC-250 cummins. but today I was paging through the GL website and found several Hercules and litterally hundreds of detroit 92 series engines. Now...

Today we're back to work on the 817, and this afternoon (as before) I found a serious case of wet stacking going on. I've redone the heads from one end to the other and still persistant white grey smoke still prevelant. My question here for the members is this. will pressure and fuel supply...

Well Guys, yesterday was the big day for me, after 7 long weeks of waiting for my euc to clear I finally got the green light and called up the man who was helping me with the recovery and the drive home. We met at the gates in Fort McCoy and he promptly set to work teaching me all I needed to...

Anyone know what the pintle hitch ratings are for the 817? IE: 10 ton 20 ton?

In looking at the GL website and the item manifest, I have arrived at a question again. What does the Acquired Value mean? and how do they come up with that number? How does it pertain to the sale of the vehicle? I've done some searching here, but have not come up with an answer that...

I'm new to the forums here and considering a purchase of a few dumps for the business, but as the thread title says I've got a million questions. First off, I was considering purchasing a tandem axle five ton dump on GL, my needs are for a truck that is built strong enough for towing a tag...

Hello all I'm new to the forums, and thought I'd post a little bit about myself. I came across this forums in my search for military vehicles and their possible uses in expanding my land clearing business. I've been in business about four years now and happy to say business is really...
