That's an idea. I believe the master cap has a breather vent. Does the vent screw into the cap? If so what pipe thread would it be?

Thanks for the advice. When I go Saturday I will pull a sample, test it and decide what to put in the system. I have both dot 5 and dot 3 fluid to take. I have to drive it about 60 miles and want to be somewhat safe. The good side is I only need to run maybe 5 miles of highway and can take the...

Need some advice on my M-817 brake fluid. I am in the process of planning to drive this truck to my camp once the snow goes. I know little about it and I can not get any answers from the seller. I have not tried the brakes. I was told they worked. The red flag to me was the quart bottle of dot 3...

That's good to know.

Thanks. Wonder why that circuit was 12 volts instead of 24?

I was going over the wiring diagrams and have a question. Circuit 569 looks to be direct battery to the cold start switch. As I read it that circuit is 12 volts not 24 am I correct? If I am correct the way I installed the batteries I did not include that wire. So that should mean that my cold...

Sorry no parts. My first rodeo. Call Jack at Automotive electric he can rebuild what you have. He is old school one of a kind re-builder.

Thanks. At first it made no sense and then when I blew the photo up I had an AHA moment. You can pull me once but not twice. I tried to read and the manual for the most part said call for help.

Thanks for the offer. I believe I learned on the emergency shut off. If that fails I will call you. Main issue is the snow and its in Spread Eagle Wi. So to go there it would have to be lunch on me and lots of beer.

So I most likely messed it up by playing mister curious with everything last weekend? Where can I learn about the reset procedure? Thanks

Thanks. Yes it had sat at a military base or so I am told. I did see videos of it running and I want to believe the sellers as truthful.

Ok I can do this. Is there a reason to reset this. I assume its just a push pull cable. What goes wrong? Just trying to learn the quirks on these trucks. And I do appreciate the help.

Yes. What is the starting relevant to the ad?

That I can not answer. I did do a once over on all the controls and I did pull the emergency shut down. It did seem to function ok. I did do that last weekend when I went overe everything. When it did not fire I did pull and release it twice. It seemed to return ok.

I went to where my M-817 is stored. Truck is supposed to run. The temps are mid 40's this afternoon. Anyway brought 20 gallons of fuel. Loaded it with additives. Two new Interstate 12 volt batteries. Everything seems to be able to work. Primed to 80 psi., fuel heater on, 1/3 throttle and just...

Thanks. My thick head has a pretty good grasp of the systems operation. I think for now I will leave it alone. I hope it woks ok as is. I will be bringing it to home or camp once the snow goes. I went up to look it over again yesterday. I sat in the seat and made notes. I was able to answer most...

Ok that is beginning to make sense. So on the transmission cover there must be air control valves?

So the sprague does this mechanically? I thought there was am air actuator that that applied? Sorry I am new to this and sometimes have a thick head.

Thanks that helps a lot. One of my intentions was to put a 10 foot Boss hydraulic v-xt snow plow on it. With pushing on ice and snow I could see this shifting in and out a lot and I did not want to beat it to death.

I realize the newer 939 is a lot more and for my intended usage that's more than I care to spend. I bought the 817 and intend to use it. Its a hobby toy on my hunting property. I just figured they had a simple transfer case. Hi-lo, 2wd-4wd. I read about this sprag failing, don't roll back and...
