The 16.00R20's on Hemtt rims will clear the front of an M818 (M809 series) without rubbing as long as you set your turning stops correctly. I've gotten a few spares from Wes, he's a good person to deal with.

I just finished my battery hold down brackets. I used 1/8" thick flat bar and angle iron for the frame. I used 3/4" x 3/4" angle iron for the ears. The hooks come up thru the ears to hold the battery down. I also went ahead and cut some notches in the frame to clear the battery post to ensure no...

I just mounted it before dark. I haven't ran it yet. I don't have my batteries on the truck right now. I'm going to sandblast, and paint the plate the batteries set on. So all that stuff is off the truck right now.

Set 2 boards on the ground, set the hub/drum assembly on the boards so the drum is the only thing touching the boards, this will get it of the ground. Make sure the seal is facing down and is not resting on the boards. Now you can hammer down to get the seal out. If that doesn't work, try making...

here is what I used to for my adjustment arm. I found 2 flanged bushings at Fastenal. They have an O.D. of 1/2", and an I.D. of 3/8". The rest is grade 8 hardware. Here is the hardware I had to use to bolt up the arm. I had to modify the block by cutting out the center, and welding ears...

Thankx, it only looks good because I listened to the advice from the people here. Any water in your differentials will in the bottom at the drain plug. You can turn the plug open slightly keeping the plug in so the oil just drips out. If there is any water in there, you'll see it first. Oh...

I just required two taps with my method. You don't want to smash the living daylights out of the seal. Another factor that helped installing the seals was freezing them. I put my seals in a freezer bag, then kept them in the deep freeze over night. That helps them contract a little bit. It also...

1 The inner bearing will held in place by the grease seal. You will have to remove the old seal to clean, inspect, and re-pack the bearing with fresh grease. Since you have it all apart, replace all seals with new. 2 Remove the steering knuckle. It will save you some time. Loosen the castle...

I have gotten around to it, I just haven't finished it yet. I haven't made the modification to the adjustment arm yet. Depending on the bracket you'll have to slot the bolt holes about 1/2" forward. You might have to slot it a little more. As for the spacer, get some D.O.M. tubing, 1" O.D...

Looking Good Wes. Are you using a paint gun, or rattle cans?

It's a FREE country. This should be reason enough. Every where I look, I see people working hard so they can enjoy doing what makes them happy. Seeing this reminds of something that is the foundation of all Americans, "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that...

I found this on the Spicer transmissions. http://partsmanuals.org/spicerpartsmanuals/Spicer-6000-Series-Parts-Manual.pdf It has the dimensional data for the bellhousings, shaft length/diameter, and some other dimensional data for reference and comparison.

What are the dimensions of the bellhousing? The one on the spicers are short. Do you think the one you found keeps the overall length about the same as the spicer 6453's overall length? What literature did you source this from? I want to read more on both transmissions. I have mainly focused on...

I have seen that, but I never converted the Nm to ft-lbs. My source is the https://www.eaton.com/EN/rr/ProductsServices/ProductsbyCategory/Transmissions/PCT_486870 link. Did you notice the gear ratios for the FSBO-9406A? I know it is an auto shift (manual shift with an X-Y axis shifter), but...

My source lists it at 860 lbs-ft. of torque. Hmm... still though, that's plenty for the nhc 250. Does any one know what the torque specs are for the Spicer 6453 for a comparison? I know it can handle the nhc 250, just wondering.

The transmission I suggested, and interested in is the FSO-8406A with a capacity of 860 lbs.-tq., a 6 speed with over drive. The FS-7206A, FS-8206A are direct drive transmissions, but have a different case with a passenger side 8-bolt PTO drive. Those are more than enough for the nhc250, and is...

Yes, you are correct in these observations. I know a different bell housing would be required as the spicer bell housing will not bolt up to the eaton transmission. I don't know if a different clutch disc, spring plate, throw-out bearing, and linkage would be needed. If a bell housing with the...

Common flanges are available for the eaton six speeds. I've seen them on the trucks at work, I don't know what the part number is though. If one can't be located, I suppose a drive shaft shop would be able to fab something together. I'm sure the PTO linkages would have to be modified, as well as...

I thought that too the first time I saw that in my tank. The white sludge is just oxidation from the coating on the steel.
