Wow, nice find! more please...

The Deuce tailgate (or chains) will more than likely not support the weight of your "POS Astrovan". (Am I saying that right?)

M200A1 springs would be ideal for a bobbed deuce.

Nice looking load, glad it went well for you! Good to see you had your load chained down well, I've seen some scary stuff out there (saw a '70 Camaro tied down with one strap going down I-70 at 75 mph once, always wondered if they made it or not). How did you talk GL into stacking them for you?

Gotta get some shots of the equipment in the back!

That would be the one. I believe "Couse" made the first ones in this series. If you would like to sell them, I would be in the market! If you don't want to get rid of them, perhaps they could be uploaded to the TM section here? Thanks so much!

I wish that had been the case, it would have saved the time involved with removing the hoses, pump, etc. The pic in the first post will show the pump mounting location from the top (in between the boom support frame plates). The pump mounts directly to the PTO gear case that sends the power...

Does anyone have a copy of the TM for these trailers? I don't think they have an "M" number, but if they do, does anyone know what it is?

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=5149&highlight=brake+inspections+warning There are two adjustment "cams" for each shoe, one at the side and one at the bottom. One of the easier systems to adjust, but be sure to follow the adjustment specs (0.010" and 0.020") as each one out of...

How bad is yours leaking, and will it leak while the truck is just sitting? The Chicago Rawhide part # for that seal is still current: CR 14940. Ran me about $14. It is easier to remove the lower end plate of the pump, and install the new seal then. Prior to re-installing the lower plate...

Will do Jason, the next step after I fix the hoist gear case is to go through the entire machine and change all of the fluids. Not looking forward to that one, these things have a lot of gear cases!

Thanks guys. The most difficult part of this was the re-installation of the suction line. I ended up removing the bolt-on block that it threads into, and screwed the pipe fitting on the work bench. Then the block/hose is installed once the pump was in place. If you do it this way though, the...

My M816 had a known hydraulic fluid leak when I purchased it. (the previous owner informed me of the leak and it's severity, so it was not a surprise) As the leak was a static leak, the hydraulic pump seal was the main suspect. I removed the pump, and found the seal to have been damaged upon...

Ctis

He has an issue with his heater lower motor as well.

Good looking truck. BTW...what was that "tow bar" originally?

Glad it all worked out for you! Very good story. You lucked out on the brakes, although I would suggest taking all of the drums off to inspect what you have there. This should be done to every truck someone buys. When I got my truck the brakes worked well, but I decided to tear it down and...

Nice feature for sure. Lots of neat stuff on the new format!

Very nice! Looks like it would make a great hunting platform.

Ok, I think that some of us have full PM boxes. For those that are awaiting the prices with shipping, (DanMartin, AMG, Bede) please PM me as I have the totals. Basically, the shipping will be $10-$11 in a flat rate box.
