The winch would definitely be mounted behind the cab so no worries about having enough room. I searched long and hard and found the specs on the Eaton Char-lynn 109-1094 hydraulic motor but no such luck finding the conversion chart. I also searched the forum for quite a bit for the pto ratings...
Not sure where to post this question, so here goes.
Has anyone tried to run a PTO driven winch of of an auxillary engine? Does anybody know what the approx. hp output of a 5ton pto would be? Would like to mount a winch on the back of my truck but from what I've seen rear facing PTO units...
Well the mailman brought my new pump today, $33 shipped to my door. Now to figure out where to mount it. Was thinking on the frame behind the cab but I know these pumps like to push rather than pull, would the extra 8" be too much head for it to pull, or should it be mounted directly on the tank?
As much as I like putting my chiropractors kids through college, I would much rather have something comfy to sit on. The truck is basically a snow plow truck that serves as a pull truck when somebody really buries there mud truck in the woods, So it doesn't see much seat time. I like the idea of...
Has anybody used other types of seats in a deuce or 5 ton besides truck seats? I'm thinking maybe bucket seats or a deluxe bench seat with console. Anybody done something different like this?
Thanks
Thanks guys, I found a few solid state pumps on ebay, I'll order one this week. It appears as though somebody had problems before as the copper line on top of the tank is already spliced with a piece of rubber fuel line.
For the guys who are using an externally mounted fuel pump to replace the in tank unit:
What type of pump are you using? Is one kind better than another? Where is a good (cheap) place to buy one? Also, do you have to remove the in tank pump or can it pull fuel through it?
Thanks
Area 52- I'm having trouble opening the TM's right now, been trying to access them for days. I have searched the forums for info on this with no luck in finding out what I'm looking for.
Squirt-truck- Thanks for the explanation, it makes good sense to me now. It sounds as though. It sounds like...
Can anybody tell me how the front axle engagement would take place in a M54a2 with the multifuel engine? I was told by the last owner(jackass) that it did not work properly and they jammed something in there to keep the front axle locked.
Also, I assume the lever on the floor in the center of...
I think the starter is fine, just the wiring that somebody had rigged up is shot and possibly the starter relay. just trying to Figure out what all the switches are on the dash because any labeling is gone. Hopefully if the rain holds off I can get it cranking tomorrow, then attack the fuel...
Lets get this straight, I hate electrical work and it hates me and this truck has been abused severely. I haven't seen the wiring schematic but Basically the idea of a relay is so you don't have all the amperage flowing through the start switch, correct? But there is a solenoid, (which is a...
Well I've been searching the forum for some help but haven't come up with anything so here goes-
I Just obtained a roughly used (<---as you can see in my pic)M54a2 from a local construction company. Supposedly she runs (engine turns with breaker bar). The previous owner had some autozone...
When bobbing a truck,I have read that some folks mark the frame where the centerline of the forward axle is, remove the suspension and reinstall the rear where it was originally located. This being done, the drive shaft length will remain the same. How does this line up when using the M105 box...
