I was crawling around under my new m925a2 and saw this plug missing?? in the tranny? looks like in flywheel cover? Shouldn't that be plugged, especially if I get into any water...

Have you read the operator's manual about driving(fording) deep water? It will tell you to install the plug. -and where to find said plug.

Normal driving leave the plug out, fording, insert the plug. Check the T.M.s.

Read the -10, if you do read it, you will be SURPRISED at ALL the little tid bits of info that it contains, which makes the owner smarter.

Barkster,
Thank you for posting the question. After you have had the truck for a while you will eventually see why it gave me a chuckle.

That's the link for the TMs. I've been on here for 7 years and spent more time reading them and searching last week than in quite a while.
What, no pics of the new truck? (I know that the plug looks like, we want others.)

yeah having the truck for two days and 90% of the time I'm out the checking stuff so hasn't given me much time to read all 3k pages. I've downloaded all the manuals and I typically search them all but when you don't know the technical name for something it's hard to find it in the manual unless you have the time to read every single page. I do plan on printing the manual and having it bound. I hate pdfs, but do like to be able to search them but I searched flywheel and didn't find anything. Thanks for the info though.

The -10 TM is only 486 pages and should be read by anyone operating one of these trucks before operating , one for safety and two it will prevent costly repairs from improperly operating it .

No worries. Print a copy ( or sections thereof) and leave them in the head for multitasking. Seems common that folks think they need to digest 3000 pages (or 12,500 for a deuce) of the TMs. Until you start wrenching, the -10 operators is all you need. I keep -10s stored on my phone. Enjoy your new steed my friend.

Leave it out. When your rear main starts leaking it'll let you know

Screw a ball valve in there and no tools needed to close off when Fording/mudding.

Yes, we preach READ the manuals but you are absolutely correct about it being difficult to find something in them.
I have a weak springy thing on the side of some box on the side of my NHC-250 that forces the throttle pedal back up after you push it down and let off. Gimpy had a great time driving my truck like that until he found a bungee cord.
Now I want a new one. I tried searching the manuals. For three or four hours I couldn't even figure out what it was called. It isn't intuitive. I finally realized that maybe I should look at the foot pedal instead of trying to find it in the engine section (yeah, I'm slow). Bingo!! Follow the throttle linkage from the pedal to the engine and there was my spring. Return spring? No. Throttle return spring? No.
SPRING,HELICAL,EXTE
Now I had looked for spring but I never counted but there are a lot of springs on our trucks.
Doh!
I bought two off Ebay and they are sitting here on the counter.

I know some questions get old to the guys that have been on here for years. But there will hopefully be new guys to replace us old grouchy guy's to keep the hobby alive after we're dead and gone so here's my thank you for not scaring the crap out of a new guy.

OR what is the red button for ?, what is the trap door thing in the floor by the drivers seat ?, I started my new truck, I can not figure how to turn it off ?. statement "I have NO brakes" question "what is the master cylinder level" answer "did not know there was a master cylinder, thought it had air brakes because I here the woosh when I use the brakes ? more and more like this, since reading the -10 is no longer PC CORRECT.

Ron when I first join the green iron club, I knew nothing! But with some kind help from guy's here I have learned and now I am on my third truck it's not a bad thing to steer someone to the Tms it's how it's done. I appreciate everyone that has been patience with me as I learned. You also have to take into account that there are different folks out there that may not understand what they are reading and are more hands on. I will always try to help anyone that needs it even if it's a question I think is simple it may not be simple to them.
