Might be a busy summer for you with a trans swap and the hydraulic conversion. Will you plumb in a valve bank for the winches at that point or wait until later? Oh and Csm Davis, wcuhillbilly has hydraulic parts priority over me on this. I have the smaller hydraulic pump sitting here waiting to...

If cost is a concern then consider swapping in a NHC250 from the non a2 trucks. Running take outs go for 1k or less. Not starting a debate about the differences of each motor just stating a option. Another option would be to find a welder in your area who can weld cast iron and see what they...

Routed the exhaust on my old m35a2 to exit at the end of the bed. Stepped up to 4" tubing. Ran it between the battery box and the cab floorboards.

For a block check with 98G. He used to have a few of them available

Cant see the door pictures (attachment unavailable). Nice when part swaps go pretty smoothly like the plumbing for the air dryer.

Never messed with JD engines. Was planning to install a DT466 in my old m35a2 and later a m51a2. Parted out both trucks and decided to just stick with the m816 only and keep the larger 855 series engine. If the 250 goes I'm undecided if I'll rebuild the 250 or swap it out for one of it's...

Not quite enough room to place a winch between the cab/bed but it's possible to do.

Can install those inflatable internal beadlocks if you plan to air down.

The valve bank should be an open center so wouldn't need a bypass. Think we can figure out what's going on when we see the underside pics.

That would be good. Think we would both be looking for a swivel and a valve bank.

Need 10 because each of the 4 actions goes 2 ways. With 2 hoses per valve they alternate high pressure and return. Push the lever and one hose is the high pressure, pull the lever and the opposite hose on that valve is now the high pressure. Port 1: high pressure supply Port 2: low pressure from...

Just got off the phone with them and as expected, price is pretty high for 1 inch ID swivels. 2 passage is $2500 and the 10 passage will be a custom setup so a range of $10-12k. Financially that throws out the 10 passage swivel. The 2 passage is a possibility if you want hydraulic capabilities...

Rather than a fitted cover I think some type of rain shield would work better with the steel cable. Kinda like a bikini top on a jeep. Would protect it from the rain but not trap any moisture.

Thank you. Just submitted a request to DTSI asking for info/price on a 2 and 10 passage hydraulic swivel with 1" ID passages and mentioned our low psi requirements, will update here with what I find out.

Yea the cost of the swivel is the big unknown. To find out first one of us needs to take a look at the hoses that are running to the pump and find out what their size is. Once we know the hose size (it's inside diameter, should be written on the outside of the hose) then we can figure out which...

Guessing that the folks you've talked to are running pinion brakes on mud boggers or rock crawling vehicles? Their setup is designed differently, meant to serve as the service brakes so it uses hydraulic calipers (usually 80's era chevy 1/2 ton pickup calipers) which maintain contact with the...

Could be an airline partially blocked (ice, dirt,etc). The old hydraulic brakes on my m816 wrecker would lock up all 6 395's if I stomped on it and the m939 airbrakes are supposed to be even stronger.

Pinion brake would work for that 1 emergency stop from highway speed. Warp the rotor but that's better than not stopping. Can mount up to 4 pinion brakes on the rear axles (never the front axle). Bad idea to plumb it in to automatically engage, leave it as a separate system. With air brake...

He forgot that he was driving in Utah, where people will come to a complete stop on the interstate because they need to change lanes (no exaggeration on that part) or spin off the road in their 4wd's while this crazy ginger is puttin along those snowy roads in a 2wd and no problems. If this...

Another option that would be much cheaper than a 2 passage rotary union would be a pair of these single passage rotaries http://www.surpluscenter.com/Hydraulics/Hydraulic-Adapters-Fittings/Live-Swivels/JIC-Male-to-SAE-Male---Right-Angle/JIC-12M-X-SAE-12M-LIVE-SWIVEL-90-ELBOW-9-LV6801-12-12.axd...
