I found this one while searching for info before posting my question, but I didn't see anything about shifting into high and grinding like mine is doing. This one was interesting, I will look into the air lines and the front axle engagement. I was wondering about that little button, with the...

I finally bought some batteries for my new to me M925 cargo truck. However, now I need to figure out how to get it to shift into high range. When I picked it up at DRMO it would only drive in low range. The batteries were disconnected and DRMO jumped it off and screwed in the manual fuel valve...

Looks like I need 4 new truck batteries, 2 for each truck and 6 manlift batts. I took the 6-6v batteries out of my golf cart to make sure the man lift works good. I got a couple bugs to work out of it. The cart batteries are several years old and not in the best of shape so I will put them back...

Wow, thanks for all the replies, I was just hoping 4 big 1000cca car batteries like the ones I run in my powerstroke trucks and tractors would work. But from what yall are saying I may could even get by with just 2 batts. Eventually I might upgrade to 4 but for now I just need to get the 2...

So, all 4 batteries appear to be bad in both my new 5ton trucks and the new 31' man lift came without batteries. Looks like I got to buy 8-12v batteries and 6-6v batteries next week. So what is the smallest (least expensive) battery that will reliably crank the big diesels? Of course I am in the...

Nope, sorry, only green for me! My tractors; 1939 JD L, (not running,yet) 1940 JD B slantdash, (not running,yet) 1946ish JD A slantdash (not running,yet) 1947 JD A, 1948ish JD A, 1951 JD MT, 1956 JD 60, 2000 JD 4700 4x4 hst with loader and hoe ***My Tractor Pics*** And yes I have...

So whats the air shift noise you hear when shifting from high to low doing? Guess I went into this blind to the ways of GL auctions but it looks to me like things like the T-case is broken and there is no high range or the batteries are unhooked and a gauge on the dash is fried, or the...

If I admit that I messed up and promise not to do it again can we move past the trailering of the dumper and focus a little more on the driving of the flatbed? After all there were no issues with the hauling of the dumper, dumb luck, good equipment, or whatever you chose to call it I made the...

I usually use that same gate most everyday going back and forth to work. Thats the gate I drove the trucks out of and then down across the bridge to my buddies shop at the foot of the mountain on 231. Next time you go by there you'll probably see my new trucks sitting there waiting on TLC. Let...

Yea silverstate55 its me from ATF, I have learned a lot already. I guess the biggest thing I've learned is a lesson I should know already, never listen to government folks. Next I have to get time to read up on these things but with work the way it is that won't be for a while. I understand why...

I try not to let folks get to me on forums, although of the dozen or so forums I have frequented over the years this has been the most hostile one yet. I have spent many years helping people out on truck and tractor forums so I know how much work it is and I know how easy it is to be tempted to...

I hauled it about 6 miles from the DRMO lot to my friends mechanics shop. I routinely haul 12-18K loads on that truck and trailer but I do admit that I was on my best behavior while hauling this 24K load.

I figured out pretty quick the shifter needed to be down, however with it all the way down on the floor it would just make a light grinding noise and not move, I crawled under and the "plunger" in the T-case seems to be going all the way in when the shifter is pushed down. When shifting it you...

I was hoping it was just a shifter fork roll pin or something like that got broken when someone stomped on the shifter too hard with the gears out of alignment. I got to get time to get some manuals and read up on it and go through them both. I know I have 5 tons of stuff to learn, thats why I...

This was the first time I have ever seen a MV up close so I had/have no idea what to look for or even what I am looking at. When I went to pick them up I followed the guy on the big loader to the lot, parked where he said then jumped in and steered the 5 ton dump as he shoved it up on the...

Well I joined the ranks of MV owners this week with my purchase of 2 trucks and 3 trailers. However on the way home with the new 5 ton flat bed I had several bad problems. The most notable are it is stuck in low range, will not go over 20 mph, when the shifter is shoved very hard it will go down...
