When running demollition derby we did much worse. That being said, while anything can be possible, a lot of things are not advisable. It is your investment, so it's up to you. If you really must move the rig, reconnect the rad lines, refill the coolant and keep a very close eye on the temp...
The best solution that I have found, and we are currently using on our fleet, is to remote the drain plug to the frame rail. Heavily protect the air hoses. The install STD ball cock type valve. Most of our drivers just won't take the time to keep pulling on the release cord. They do not have a...
Get thee to a HD truck shop. Any real airbrake tech should be able to solve this for you in a minute. If there is a military base nearby, go bug their mechanics. They will be your best resource, and they are quite often willing to assist. A beer or 2 works wonders!
Our towbars just rode in the back of the SQMS m109. The Canadian Gov't was too busy to buy us tow bar mounts. Usually the tow bar had to be employed on one of our trucks for the return trip, so stowage wasn't much of an issue. the biggest problem was deciding which vehicle was the most damaged...
If you have a battery that really does have reversed polarity (use a meter), this is not fatal. Remove said battery from the truck circuit. Apply a small load to it (a single light bulb will do). leave the load on until the battery is COMPLETELY discharged. Then check the fluid levels (if...
When you have pics please post it under the classified section. You will probably get more than enough action. Good luck and welcome in. Just for the fun of it, click on te classified ads section and have a sniff around.
:ditto:You will love that Cummins "B" model. The possibilites are endless. Parts are cheap and available. Great Low end and a crazy high end. Deuce done right! Just be sure to upgrade the turbo!
Just under mount the plow. Get a 24 V pump. ALWAYS use low range when your plow hits the ground. There is a TM posted here about snow removal in Military situations. They spent a lot of your $$$ to figure this out, please read the report!
The lights are a big draw. When they draw upon the circuit, the underlying problems will show up. Before you hack and slash, check ALL of your connections! Down load the TM with wiring diagrams. If need be, buy a cheap meter and check all feed cables and grounds. You should have a bunch of...
Gotta jump in! If you have a deuce and a plow, a couple of good will trips, and you know that your neighbours won't complain about your MV....unless you cover their drive. Just let them get stuck once, pull them out, and you are now the new ambassador for big Green Things, which only a retired...
Thanks, Andy. We will be in touch with our broker soon. Then I'll be much broker. In addition to a shrinking bank account, I'm gonna need a way bigger driveway. Just might have to put 1 or 2 on my farm up-country!
What I have heard has something to do with an "EUC" whatever that is. I keep seeing notices on EPAY Motors that state "This vehicle may only be sold to a US Citizen within the USA". I know that it is possible to get one up to here, and I am going to find out how. the M-135 is 54 years old now...
I would appreciate it if you could tell me how to buy an M-35A2 and export it to Canada. I know that it can be done, As I have seen a couple of them running around up here. I know that they aren't ex-CF trucks, because we did not buy them. I want to know what hoops have to be jumped through, as...
