Having owned both, I would chose the 936 hands down over the M816. HOWEVER, this is strictly from a coolness and more modern truck factor. The M936A2 (I have a thread on it) I am putting back together right now is a female dog of trying to find parts for. NO ONE who deals with your typical...
Did some work yesterday. Got the radiator back from the shop and installed it. Went back with all brand new cad plated grade 8 fine thread bolts. Started her up and it ran like a charm. I couldn't get it warm enough to get the fan running. After 30 minutes of running at idle I could still...
That crane is not even close to being original to that halftrack. The halftrack could be any one of many variants, however, that crane looks to be from a 2 1/2 ton wrecker truck. Definetly was not part of the halftrack. The front winch on the halftrack is original though (at least most of it).
Took awhile but finally tracked down the source of new radiators. I spoke with the sales engineer Rick Hite at Indiana Heat Trandfer Co. who bought out McCord Heat Transfer Co. from Cummins. They are currently filling orders for the Military (they also provide the radiators for the Humves) and...
Chris,
Does your tranny still have the PTO attached on the side. If so do you have any pictures of it so I could see how some of the lines and cables are attached.
Just to let you know also, these A2 radiators aren’t laying around at your local radiator shop. I dropped mine off today at lunch and the guy said it was going to be about $175 to boil, fix/repair, and paint mine (I was expecting $500). He said it looked like an odd radiator and when he saw...
I also forgot to mention that the truck built air pressure and filled the tanks up rather quickly and the brakes seem to work fine. For the remainder of the day, I did what you suggested Chris and simply hooked the air compressor to the primary air tank on the truck and built up pressure by...
What a weekend. I finally got the truck to run off its own fuel tanks. Was easier than I thought. I simply added a quick release air fitting to the vent fitting on the fuel tank and hooked up the pan-cake compressor to it and applied pressure. It flushed out the line and quickly had fuel...
