You might check each battery by them self . I turned off my m52a2 one day changed a tire went to restart and same thing . One battery went bad I was only getting 12 volts . I though I had a locked the engine because I had left the fuel pump on .
A PTO mounted to tight will give you shifting problems just something to watch for . After you are sure everything is good copper washers under the 6 nuts on the PTO will seal gear oil drips.
Replaced one axle boot with non zippered boot on my M52A2 axle seal was also replaced. I made this tool and it worked good it made the drum and hub easy to slide on and off and spin the hub when adjusting the bearings it stopped the hub from turning when tightening the bolts on the drive flange .
Might check some of the truck salvage yards around Albuquerque. I sold a m816 to a man named Mike and he said he had other 5 ton trucks this was a few years ago and I lost his number. Welcome to Steel soldiers.

If your chains have latches that are hitting take them off and just use a hook it's slimmer .when fitting chains on my m52a2 it fit better you only have about 1 1/2 inches to work with. I have not been on the road with them .
Yes there are two where the brass block fitting uses a hollow bolt that holds it to the third member and one in between the hose where it threads in to the brass fitting . you will need to get the right size they are not the same size . NAPA should have them in boxes of ten .The top hose is the...
For filter mounts check truck salvage yards older Mack trucks have cast iron filter mounts for secondary and primary . Trucks with Detroit Diesels used aluminum filter mounts. You can use the old filter number to buy new filter.
I put bought the REB shifter from Memphis Equipment about 15 years ago for my m211 it is great to have no more hunting for the right gear .you do block off high reverse .
