He mounted to the outside of the axles, replacing where the drums and shoes would have went. Pinion mounted would be where the drive shafts connect to the axles. and i stand corrected, the kit offered are single caliper, but using 2 kits per axle, @ $1160 per axle, it would still give offer a...

@FordTruckGuy96 Are you mounting the R&C where drum and shoes were or attaching to the 3rd member at pinion input? Iv seen disk brake conversion kits for both 2.5 and 5 ton and they were mounted at the pinion input and they were dual caliper setups.

@Another Ahab It is a 42” bar on a 661 and the tree is bitternut hickory aka: pecan. Plan is making tables and counters after back surgery recovery over the next few months, i am gonna order a complete saw and a kit clone ms880 and a 72” cannon bar and cs mill some less knotty sections of...

This was the summer of 2021 and hadnt done much other than pulling the eng out of my gen3 dodge diesel winter of 21. CAT scale wt. was 12,780 lbs for that 1 log. This is what i initially purchased the truck for. Once the brake dragging issue is resolved and i can get a...

I rmvd the crane boom from the support structure. I have not rmvd the structure yet though.

When i was doing some fuel related trouble shooting i swapped it out for a different cap, drove off with it on a step and lost it last yr. So sorry, no pics available. what is the neck size and thread pitch? I can measure mine and see if its the same as the 809 series, but i wouldnt think they...

Have you looked into construction equipment fuel tank caps? Some of them are lockable. I found a cap in the vicinity of some fresh ground breaking at an airport. There was only a jd track hoe and cat d7 dozer working the ground and were gone when i came back to work 2 wks later. I went on a walk...

its been over 20yrs since i messed with a duce. I cant remember how much rm is available with the switch installed. but yes, pliers work good too for crossing connectors out.

Pull the switch out, disconnect the wires from switch, try crossing the wires together to see if it bumps over. If so, that is your culprit. If not, could be the starter solenoid.

Since the wheel assy is so heavy, i use 2 24” 3/4” black pipe and slide over the lug studs to help navigate the assy over the hub. It works better installing them but i find it easier than guessing at the wheel height and either going or down to better center the hub in the rim. I just lift the...

Did you ever get to adding hyd outriggers to your wrecker? I was thinking of locating the controls for the 4 outriggers, in the r/h compartment, below the winch controls and just fwd of the rear outrigger, since winch plumbing is in that general area as well. I was thinking of just using 10 tn...

I too was having issues with finding 3/8 orings, and even new orings were as said, pushing out, causing the halves not to seal. My last attempt, i used 3M weather strip caulk (3/16” tar strips) and laid in enough strips to hold the oring in place and encircled the hole for the inflation stem...

When is it suppose to be? I just came up 12, from grangeville, to orofino, id and it is a road a mil convo/road trip should try to avoid. Yes the drive is beautiful, paralleling the river, but it is as windy and curvy as a sidewinder snake’s track.

Since there is only 1 brake chamber, the shoe pads should wear from the chamber plunger/wedge, and working its way to the middle, then to the idle/pivot point of the shoes. I saw a lot of uneven wear with s-cams. having only a single actuating point, cause the shoes to wear more at the point...

Fancy, no, cautious and preventative, yes. For the reason you stated, unk old fluid, plus i wanted to make sure there were not internals breaking apart, and pulling a 10 gal hot (15-20 min to allow for settling of contaminates) sample from the bottom and ran it through the filter. Testing and...

YMMV??? Yes, hose are a cost of anything hyd, esp. with unk age hoses. I can get free oap testing and kits that we send our oil and hyd samples to. If i had a reason to send a sample in, i will. But i replaced the fluid a yr ago, minus what was in the lines and pump, along with a cleaning of...

@KN6KXR Correct, 20k with all the stuff you mentioned in place, as per the tm. I couldnt, or i should say, didnt keep going on the relief screw, once i hit 1350-1400. I just left my gauge hard lined, and eventually, will extend it above the top cover plate, once im done testing the sys. to see...

What would make the 816 more powerful in the hyd department than the 936?

I can build enough boxes to total up to 20k, but will touch base with any local crane places and see if they have certified wt. boxes. It just boggles me it wont lift its advertised limit. I do hear a very noticeable audio change in my pump now that i adjusted the relief psi. It is much louder...

That is a sample port valve or i guess it could be used as a bleeder port too. With the tck running, its a squirter
