Simp5782 - thanks for the info, ok will go check this out, so if i understand it. with the PTO engaged, if i push the "regular" spring brake override, they should NOT dis-engage. i have to push the spring brake override under the steering wheel while the PTO is engaged to get them to release...

Davis - i look forward to your research... since i have not tested my theory, i am inclined to think (based on no facts) it has to do with the source of air used to release the spring brake, the one under the steering wheel "might" use 2nd air rather than E-tank air. but that just a guess, i...

agreed, so why two switches, if both override the spring brake? the normal one for loss of air (an only a limited number of uses or time till the Emergency air-tank is empty), one when you need to let the brakes off when recovering, but why not just use the "normal" then too? does the one...

sounds right, the one on the right (i call it the "normal") is the one for primary and secondary air failure, once the spring brakes engage, you hit it to unlock them so you can be towed is what i thought it is for. so it sounds like they do exactly the same thing? i was thinking with the PTO...

Experts on Wrecker operation (M936A1) Have been going over the TM's, and realized i don't know the difference between the spring brake override switch (the one on the far right of the pnl) and the PTO spring brake override switch (located on the right side and just under the steering wheel). I...

thanks - was really just wanting the K8, i should have left the rest off.

Dieseladdict - thanks for the schematic, but can't quite make out, is that "K6" or "K8" on the short circuit relay contacts between P17 and J17. as i have been curious what the machine actually senses when the overload short circuit lite comes on. if my machine has sat for a bit and humidity...

wow - sounds like my truck, the hoist pump or its drive line (not sure which, lots of fluid in the gear housing) on the hoist sounds terrible and has since i bought it, but no leaks so far, i was going to run it till it misbehaved. i believe any local hydraulic shop can rebuild them, if not...

excellent, i just used veritread, they cost a bit to handle it, but bid it out, so it was not out of sight, you can decline or accept bids, some will be crazy hi, some crazy low, etc..., but they do all the work and it showed up as promised etc... any broker can do it if you want to find a local...

after a bit of searching TM 92320-272-10 and site and no luck on info on alternator rebuilding (i'm sure its been covered somewhere). here's my question - i pulled my alternator (M936A1), to replace the voltage regulator, no problem, but while it was off i figured i check/grease the bearings...

thanks, i will check, but my memory is my spring is in the first or second hole towards the fuel filter side, will try moving it to where yours is, that would increase spring tension. thanks all for the feed back.

yes it is (convenience outlet wiring being light gauge, looks to be 14 at best), your idea is a better(safer) way to go and cheaper than changing out the old GFI with a new "correct' GFI with 15 amp unit. By the way i'm using the unit to power tools for a shed i'm building for my M936, so the...

Chris thanks for the links, reading all bazillion of them. will check magnet pull off etc.. on an unrelated note: one of the things talked about in those posts that happens to me also is a weak over current circuit breaker on the convenience outlet GFI unit, like in the posts found i ran...

thanks - will check that out to night. hadn't looked at the bolt you pointed out and that looks like it controls engine stop side of the governor system... I had focused on the magnet/actuator side.

my generator (MEP-831) ran poorly when i got it, after following the TM with no improvement i got the new governor from Kloppk (highly recommended) and when adjusted per the TM it would still not run quite right but much better (surging). a bit of tweeking and i found by setting the gap a bit...

Question for all you experienced people in this thread, i have a M936a1 and tow a M1061 trailer (logging). i have no experience with driving other MV variants (m923 etc.). are they that much faster than my 936 due to the extra tons i've got to haul? my 936 slows down at the sight of a hill...

mine was about the same when i got it, after following the TM to get the governor dialed in - unsuccessful, i got a new governor from Kloppk (see classified adds) i highly recommend making this upgrade. at worst it eliminates a whole list of possible issues, so you can focus elsewhere, and at...

just got one, seems like a good unit, did have to replace the governor with one of the new electronic ones (not yet installed)(see the classified section). it is not as "quiet" as i was hoping, but it is not as loud as a home depot type gas unit. parts are easy, lots of OEM are still in...

saw that, the 8xx have jumped up (was buying an 831) - did wonder what hey are doing with them (the 400hz units)? as other post have stated and as one guy posted today, where some one bought over ten units, i thing some business are refurbing or re-tasking them for resale.

when i pulled my dash (m936) only part way off, i removed the screws on the front, and had to remove the power and start switches (on the left) and i can't remember if i had to remove anything on the right side (vent controls) to allow the panel to be pulled forward. it was very tight and did...
