To “fix” the dog bone problem I welded a 13” long piece of 1” angle iron across the center joints and welded 6” pieces across the single end joints. The hardest part of it all was removing the rubber that covered the ball joints. Some of them had like 1/4” thick rubber over the ball and others...

Well I sold the dump truck yesterday, and BTW, the nice fellow who came and got it loaded it on a goose neck trailer like mine and pulled it about 80 miles home with a Chevy dually. So now all I have to worry about is getting my 925 to go into high range then fix all the other small issues with it.

Nope, sorry, only green for me! My tractors; 1939 JD L, (not running,yet) 1940 JD B slantdash, (not running,yet) 1946ish JD A slantdash (not running,yet) 1947 JD A, 1948ish JD A, 1951 JD MT, 1956 JD 60, 2000 JD 4700 4x4 hst with loader and hoe ***My Tractor Pics*** And yes I have...

So whats the air shift noise you hear when shifting from high to low doing? Guess I went into this blind to the ways of GL auctions but it looks to me like things like the T-case is broken and there is no high range or the batteries are unhooked and a gauge on the dash is fried, or the...

If I admit that I messed up and promise not to do it again can we move past the trailering of the dumper and focus a little more on the driving of the flatbed? After all there were no issues with the hauling of the dumper, dumb luck, good equipment, or whatever you chose to call it I made the...

I usually use that same gate most everyday going back and forth to work. Thats the gate I drove the trucks out of and then down across the bridge to my buddies shop at the foot of the mountain on 231. Next time you go by there you'll probably see my new trucks sitting there waiting on TLC. Let...

Yea silverstate55 its me from ATF, I have learned a lot already. I guess the biggest thing I've learned is a lesson I should know already, never listen to government folks. Next I have to get time to read up on these things but with work the way it is that won't be for a while. I understand why...

I try not to let folks get to me on forums, although of the dozen or so forums I have frequented over the years this has been the most hostile one yet. I have spent many years helping people out on truck and tractor forums so I know how much work it is and I know how easy it is to be tempted to...

I hauled it about 6 miles from the DRMO lot to my friends mechanics shop. I routinely haul 12-18K loads on that truck and trailer but I do admit that I was on my best behavior while hauling this 24K load.

I figured out pretty quick the shifter needed to be down, however with it all the way down on the floor it would just make a light grinding noise and not move, I crawled under and the "plunger" in the T-case seems to be going all the way in when the shifter is pushed down. When shifting it you...

I was hoping it was just a shifter fork roll pin or something like that got broken when someone stomped on the shifter too hard with the gears out of alignment. I got to get time to get some manuals and read up on it and go through them both. I know I have 5 tons of stuff to learn, thats why I...

This was the first time I have ever seen a MV up close so I had/have no idea what to look for or even what I am looking at. When I went to pick them up I followed the guy on the big loader to the lot, parked where he said then jumped in and steered the 5 ton dump as he shoved it up on the...

Well I joined the ranks of MV owners this week with my purchase of 2 trucks and 3 trailers. However on the way home with the new 5 ton flat bed I had several bad problems. The most notable are it is stuck in low range, will not go over 20 mph, when the shifter is shoved very hard it will go down...
