I'm in agreement with you on the durability of the trucks, don't know why guys are always running them down, yeah sure they aint built for operator comfort, but it sure seems like nothing will stop em with the loads they are carrying. (small dump body considered here)

I think I may have seen some vids from you on youtube, did you do that work on that golf course a while back? Got another question, how's that truck on the trailer pulling the EX. is the bridge length ok for you in your state? or is it mostly just back roads country short hauls kind of moves...

On my 817 ( I know we're talking 900 series here..but......) I've hauled pond spoils loaded to the hilt with mud and etc and had absolutely no problem with getting it tipped. also (and I think it is the same way with the 900 series trucks) the hoist that comes on the dump models is more than...

I agree they do make exellent site trucks, best part is that most of them are so simple to work on that you can make darn near all your repairs right onsite. My logging operations would be severely hampered without something to haul from the woods to landing. skidders are alright, but seems...

Good to hear you made it home alright, looks like a nice truck too! shuld'adones and culda'dones aside I think this trip with your wife was one you will both remember for a long time. Again good looking truck!..........what are your plans for the truck now? Parades? work? MV meets? I bought...

Dave: I've been following this thread and working on an install of a BC 350 into my 817, It's a little early yet to tell if it is all going to work or not so I'm not making any promises. But one thing I have found is that it is totally easier to remove the front cross member and build a...

considering myself lucky that I had two full tanks of fuel when I brought mine home............. almost like a christmas present in it's self that we didn't need to fuel up on the way home. but I know what you mean when you say about a big fat nothing....

Haha....brings back fond memories of my trip out of fort McCoy........ only difference..... I couldn't see the highway around my truck when I was driving the chase vehicle home.....all black smoke!!! lol

Thanks guys!! I'll take another look at the TM.... didn't have much luck the first time but thats just me I guess. :beer:

Thats whats funny about it all the front axle sprage does seem to work, Thats why I never noticed any problem with it........ been in a lot of tight situations and the front axle just kicks in and pulls the front end right around...... dunnno I'm open to hear what you have to say. is the...

Not really sure what this fitting is for, I found I had no hoses of any sort connected to it at all when I removed the floor panel. The fitting is the middle fitting and is on top of the transmission directly behind the shifting lever and under the floor panel. Anyone know? The truck is an...

Here's a question for you guys that have put the 400 motor in your trucks, are you finding it necessary to swap your bell housings to fit your transmissions or are they the same bell housings on the 250 as the 400's? what about the clutch plates vs. input shafts on the transmissions? are they...

Thanks 813a1 that is just the answer I was looking to find out. I can pretty much handle any kind of swap with minor components. but I would hate to pull a 250 with the idea of dropping in say a 400 or so or 60 series detroit as was mentioned only to find out I'd have to change out the trans...

Well gents it looks like my wires got crossed earlier today when I was thinking about those Deeeeee Troits!....lol yup fer sure they would be a tough squeeze to fit into an 800 series truck, but my question still stands..... what about the Cat Acerts that were listed there? or perhaps an 855...

Maybe I need to take a look at the gl listing again, I guess I thought the engines listed there were inline 6's.......I'll go back and look again later tonight when I get back from town.

This might sound like a dumb hypothetical question here, but I just can't but wonder. In the older 800 series trucks we find the old work horse NHC-250 cummins. but today I was paging through the GL website and found several Hercules and litterally hundreds of detroit 92 series engines. Now...

sure thing.

Today I took the fuel primer line off the side of the intake and plugged it with a qtr inch pipe plug. when I got in and fired it up it seemed at first to run like it used to but after it warmed up the color of the exhaust changed and lessened. I set the engine at a high idle and let it run...

reason I asked about the hand primer is because the floor of the cab has been showing signs of fuel. Dust is collecting around the area so I know there is a leak there somewhere. It doesn't seem real "wet" but I do know the fuel filters were almost drained when I changed them and this would...
