I will be there, in the 813 or the 818/932 so maybe we can up the count on the big trucks this year!

I had this problem with my 813, I replaced the fuel line between the fuel filter and the IP, no more problem!

Jeff: I still need air intake, upper end of the snorkel and cap, as well as a exhaust stack plus my pile of goodies on the trailer! James

I have a M543A2(1967) with the multi-fuel engine, and it is a hog on fuel and slow on the hills and if I get over 45mph in it, it can get pretty scary, but I do love it! And the crane is great, very articulate and reliable.

Not really that bad the pipe was down below the cab edge and I had plugs so a nice eighty mile ride at 70 degrees in the middle of December!

To be Towed 5 Ton did the towing I went to pickup a fire department turn in 932 and ended up using it to tow my 818 home! Very nice ride and all the way home on the fired departments diesel!

Looks like I should replace mine, yours are a lot prettier than mine! My middle axle has parking brakes by Anchorlok, and I am short the two bolts for them, so off to the truck parts store for me, I hope they aren't some odd ball arrangement!

Are you in a little town north of Shelby, I was heading to New Orleans two years ago and saw a salvage type yard just off the highway in the middle of a small town, lots of 900 series parts and pieces along with trailers and a lot of tires! You are just too far from me!

Mine is not in mint condition but it has been stored inside for the last few years so no rust at all, the stack is gone removed during shipping(and tossed by forestry) the air intake was shorten by 3-5 feet(brush truck) the hard top is gone, no doubt moved to another in the RFD's fleet, the...

The ones I have seen with winch have been well over three grand(if lucky) and you don't know what you are getting on GL, maybe a little better on GSA but only if the yard guy wants to tell you. The other side of this is the yard is only 80 miles from me, and even if the truck was toast the...

I added it right after the photo along with a half dozen zip ties to make sure everything stayed in place.

It is very smooth shifting but way more complex, I am really going to have hit the manuals, especially with the fire department modification!

Got my ex-brush truck home today! Tried to tow bar it home, no dice rears all locked up, so hooked up a couple of batteries, built up pressure(kind of) squealed for about thirty yards, hooked up my 818 and drove home, really a nice ride, bigger cab and smooth shifting! Now all I need is...

I have a heavy rock breaking bar with a blunt end so I can try the shock them loose, the Tcase handle is flush with the floor and will not budge, I had to wave off a big forestry guy who was trying to strong arm it! I intend removing the front and rear drive shafts, which should be fun now that...

The 818 has good brakes but I am going to take a couple of extra batteries to see if I can start the truck, the forestry guys believe it was driven in, the odd part was the brake you can see on the dash that is square and yellow says push in for off and pull out to set, it is out all the time...

Arrived at the forestry compound late as usual, hooked up the towbar and light set, caged(?) the rear axle brakes couldn't on the middle axle, looks like commercial air cylinders there, made sure everything is in neutral, then gave it a tug, both axles are locked, all eight tires are dragging...

5 Ton Hauls Flat Towing

Talked to the GSA guys today about the tractor which is no longer a tractor, everything behind the cab and above the rails is gone, but he said he thought the truck was complete otherwise! He believes it was turned in to make way for one of the military Freight Liners they are now receiving...

That single front shot of the item is to force you to come look at the truck, or so the GSA guy told me. I think they are just lazy, at least a front and rear shot, the last 813 I got had no doors, no way to tell with out a visit! I am looking forward to the recovery but I need to go and prep...
