I searched the TM's and took a look at the P2P, but have not found a answer, so I am asking the gurus if anyone has advice before I dig into the wiring harness.
The story is that one of the rear marker lamps was out, I opened it up and checked for power with a volt meter before running out to...
Does anyone have pictures of the hydraulic winch control valve and mounting? I am installing a wet kit and have the PTO, Pump and tank all installed, but am a bit unsure of the control valve mounting and location. I have looked through the t.m.'s and its still not completely clear.
Thanks!!
Excellent point, I suppose I just assumed it was a 939.
I looked for the best hoist I could find to do the job and do it well. The double cylinder from a wheat truck will lift anything I could ever put in the 5 ton and then some.
You could buy a wet kit for the truck and buy just the hoist from them if you want a faster PTO powered one, then you could power a winch or any other hydraulic item should the need ever arise, and the PTO kit is a pretty simple and straight forward install.
I purchased a wet kit from a guy here in Colorado that bought it from Eastern Surplus (I think). It is a complete kit with pto, tank, pump, controls and all mounts. I then purchased a used double cylinder hoist from a local farmer that scrapped a older grain truck. I sent the cylinders from the...
I have a 91 M923A2. When I got the truck the CTIS was unplugged at the controller. I plugged it in and all seemed well for about 15 min, then the thing dumped the air in the front tires. It does it every time I plug it in now. I have visually (and by sound) checked for leaks in the system...
Success!!!! I have a title in hand!! It says Harsco in the make and TRK in the model. Again, I did not receive anything other than a bill of sale when I purchased this truck. I do know the process to get it done now, but its no fun at all. Please feel free to P.M. me if I can help you in a...
I had a customer with a similar story on a Dodge cummins a while back. Turned out that the fuel truck for the station where he got fuel had mistakenly topped off the diesel tanks with unleaded. He did have a receipt for diesel and the station (or their insurance) ended up buying him a new...
So far so good. I dropped all the paperwork off today. I will know if I have a title in a week or two. According to the clerks office it gets titled as a Hersco truck, model is m939 , m923, or BMY. Keep in mind I had no SF97, only a bill of sale from the P.O. Therefore I had to go through the...
I got ahold of Dino. A member here and of the MVCC. He got ahold of my county clerks office and put them in touch with people at the state or at another clerks office (not sure yet). I am out of town for the week, but he called and told me that it should all be taken care of when I get back, all...
When I get through this process I will let you know whom is helpful! I am away from home for the next week, then I have to go to the DMV again with all my paperwork and see how it goes! They say that it is all figured out now.
I did, but I have some advantages.... I am the manager of a new car dealership, so I know the process better than a lot of people and I was fortunate enough to find the right guy that knows the right people ;)
(yes, I am fortunate)
There was another one came through Limon last week. The guy pulling it said they were taking it to Washington to restore. He said he would send a video of it when they fly it the first time! Ill post it if I ever get one from him.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I was able to contact another member from Colorado who has been great! He even contacted the local clerks office for me and put them in touch with the right people at the state level to get things done. When I get home next week all should be taken care of! Thanks...
