Yes. Sorry, I've been busy getting greasy for the past couple of day. Yes, it is up and running. Fixed the PCB, which answered the no-start issue. Have the driveshaft reconnected, and the truck runs and drives now. I'm working my way through the smaller issues like the crane throttle and...

Yes, that was a possibility, but I have zero experience with this truck; the TM's are about 6,000 pages total. In the future, I'll learn how to do that, but sitting on a trailer with a pissed off Russian truck driver scowling at me wasn't the time to try to figure it out. Most importantly, we...

Here's the inside of my PCB. I assume the white powder is just oxidation from the ozone and aluminum getting together for the last 30+ years. I had to order the relays from Amazon because the biggest my local auto parts place had was 65 amps intermittent duty. I'll pull the box and get it...

Where dis?

Where is the fuel shutoff? I've actually seen several. There is one right on the side of the engine, next to the primer. Izzat the one you are talking about?

I think the starter solenoid and motor are good, because when I jump it with a screw driver it turns over just fine. There is something between the dash switch and the solenoid clicking, which is inside a box on the driver's side firewall. I assume this is the PCB, and will go start inspecting...

The driver couldn't rightly say because he only spoke Russian. I understand they used a tractor.

UPDATE:: RECOVERED* Update 3/27/2020 at 8:17 PM. It's off the trailer. We got it off by combining the ether spray into the intake and jumping the starter motor long enough to build air pressure to release the brakes. Then I went for a helluva ride off that trailer. Still don't know why it...

The driver just showed up with the M936 from Milwaukee. Dude made it in 24 hours--impressive. Regardless, the truck won't start. GovPlanet's auction has video of the truck running. I put two fresh 6TM batteries in it, but still get the same click from the used group 31's I had on hand. I...
