Yep, all jobs done are free. Where’s the grader?

Understood. I was pulled over in MI for no trailer lights at night many moons ago. Cop advised me to tape a flashlight I had to the back of the trailer, and said I’m good to go. In line with what Simp said. MI also no CDL req if privately owned. Simp even got an interview about it while...

Cummins dealer may give you an oversized front crank seal with a Speedi-Sleeve. The original size front crank seal is also available by itself without the sleeve. Much easier to not install a new wear surface sleeve if you don’t have too, as it can take an installation tool to do so.

For Sale sign. “Ran when parked”.

Me too. I'm switching engines, and if I need to install any tach drive mechanism before the cover is buttoned up, would be appreciated. Have not disassembled old one to inspect. Thanks.

Could also be the air compressor mounting gasket.

Likely either side of the timing gear case. Front is easier to reseal than the rear. Make sure your timing pin is correct on the timing gear case rear side.

All that just for turn signals? Pass. I’d just snap the 4-ways on anyway, it better signifies to others to stay back and stay alert, even if they chose not to. Thanks for the info.

This thread consists of mostly broken 809 series stories? 98, why the power cable from truck-to-truck? I would think one could leave the marker lights on, and air pressure from the lead vehicle service line into the towed vehicle service line trips the towed vehicle brake lights? Or, maybe my...

OK, got it. To do it same as all the road tractors, you use what is called a "double check valve". The key point of this is as stated in its literature, it always allows pressure to drain in reverse flow, from either source used (not simultaneously). So, I really would not call it a check...

You're fine. I just want to wrap my head around the signal drain part. Your installation aligns with what Wiki says mostly so far, if you were to also add a check valve on the signal line from the hand valve, but it still does not explain how the heck it vents when either is moved to off. I...

Only partial explanation so far below. "2 two-way check valves" and signal venting is what I need to better comprehend. That would be a check valve on each trailer service signal input line, but how does it vent upon release? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relay_valve Service brake relay...

10-4. I’m starting from ground zero to better understand how all of this works, something I have been wanting to do anyway. I’m ready to add this once I fully understand it. Good point on the front brake actuation when winching. I have wanted that more than once. We tested a brand new KW...

Why is the trolley valve not venting air when the foot brake is used? I get the pressure application part of all of it. But, you need to bleed pressure off the trailer service line in order to release trailer brakes. How is that accomplished in each case, once this hand valve and check valve...

How does it dump trailer service line pressure when the hand valve is released, but does not also dump service line pressure when the foot pedal is used?

Vid is good, thanks. I have one question: If hand trolley valve has exhaust port to bleed down pressure on brake service line when handle is up or in full off position, what would keep air pressure from going up through the hand valve exhaust when the regular foot valve is used? I get that...

I would have just said “yes” to his first question...

Traded the road grader for Benji huh? Supply and demand. As with anything in life, market sets the price. Even though I own one, and excited the price is up, I don’t plan to sell so it really doesn’t matter to me, like a home value thing. Personal opinion, I think prices are just high for...

I've been taught to just to say "5 tons" for all questions asked.

My opinion: By far, the best looking 5t out there. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?126253-5-Ton-HET
