I will be replacing both zipper boots and have a couple questions. 1-Is it necessary to safety wire the bolts? 2-What is best to seal both sides of the zipper? 3-Does the tire need to come off? Looks like its doable to me with it on.

As the title said I would like to add grease to the steering knuckles. It is my understanding that there is some way to add grease without pulling the zipper boot open. Truck is out my camp and I would like to add some grease just to be sure. Tearing it apart is not an option at this time. It is...

My M-817 has the dash mounted rifle carrier. What was the issued rifle that this truck would carry? I keep getting asked this question. Also where would one find a non firing rifle to use for show purpose? Thanks....

On the m-817 brakes if you lose air pressure for some reason will you still have brakes? If I understand correctly the air slave is an assist so one has to push the pedal not as hard. I know on vacuum or hydro assist systems you still have brakes just need to push harder. Just had to ask this...

M-817 what wiper blades? The parts book shows 10 inch. I see 12 and 14 being advertised as fitting. I was hoping to buy local once I find the correct size and possible Anco part number. Thanks.

I have not tried the brakes. I was told they worked. The red flag to me was the quart bottle of dot 3...

I was going over the wiring diagrams and have a question. Circuit 569 looks to be direct battery to the cold start switch. As I read it that circuit is 12 volts not 24 am I correct? If I am correct the way I installed the batteries I did not include that wire. So that should mean that my cold...

I went to where my M-817 is stored. Truck is supposed to run. The temps are mid 40's this afternoon. Anyway brought 20 gallons of fuel. Loaded it with additives. Two new Interstate 12 volt batteries. Everything seems to be able to work. Primed to 80 psi., fuel heater on, 1/3 throttle and just...

My first post here so I will start out with a hello. I just purchased a m-817 dump. I do not have it home and know very little about them. Once the snow goes down I will go and put batteries in it and drive it home about 60 miles. Until then without any seat time I know very little. So here are...
