Thanks. My thick head has a pretty good grasp of the systems operation. I think for now I will leave it alone. I hope it woks ok as is. I will be bringing it to home or camp once the snow goes. I went up to look it over again yesterday. I sat in the seat and made notes. I was able to answer most...

Ok that is beginning to make sense. So on the transmission cover there must be air control valves?

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...
