    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    M920 Wheels and Tires Well, it is official (Pending EUC of course) I need to start getting my parts in order... I'm going to start with wheels and tires. For the M920: I want to put either 395/85R20, 14.00x20 or 16.00x20. I know Soni has the 395's and reb87 has the 1600x20's. I am...

    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    Cool, good to know! When stuck, backwards is almost always easier than "More stuck"...lol (Not always of course, but usually) Isn't the 20k winch on the 900 ( M925/928 ) series hydraulic? How do you go about converting from PTO to hyd? I know you need a hyd motor but what motor is the...

(More about ram usage below)...

    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    According to the book: Curb weight M920 = 30,270lbs. (15 tons) But, yeah, always better to be high than low when calculating such things. This is why I am contemplating using the 45k winch on the back, (And MAYBE one on the front as well) because I'll have at least another 20k lbs on top of the...

    M916-M920 Tech & Tips

    You do now! Check your email... :) Unless I am seriously mistaken.... The hydraulic pump is located on the transmission. The manuals you now have will tell you how to activate the pump. You can remove the winch and winch controls and still maintain the pump. I'm not positive on the exact way...

    Soni, I am bidding on a 920 as I type this. Your insights and information will be invaluable if I win the auction and if not this one, I'll try again next week... Just that tip on the lighter lighter plug probably saved my iPhone from going up in a puff of smoke so yeah, even before I have...
