    M936A2 front axle boot

    thank you very much sir. i thought the uh-60 a/l, bell 206 and robinson r22/44 manuals were vague and difficult navigate. but they aint got anything on the wheeled vehicle TMs. even the IPC isn't very explanatory on where what goes. but, boyce equipment has tune up and overhaul kits, and i'll...

    M936A2 front axle boot

    @simp5782 thanks for the vids. i'll watch them and go from there. hopefully the vids get into the manuals, simply bc for the past 20 yrs, 99.999% of the maint i do is, by the book. the army and the faa kinda frown upon work being done and not using the tm, especially if it causes the acft to go...

    Blown Hub Seal?

    then with no signs of grease, i need to tear it down asap, along with the front axle, which i just created a thread on, for the boot replacement. as of now, I'm not planning on running the CTIS, and will plug the rear hub ports. just need to find something for the front ports, since its just a...

    M936A2 front axle boot

    i noticed the other day that my left front axle boot looks to be torn at the top and is damp, but not leaking. i DID look in the TM and could not find where it talks about replacing the boot. can someone help me find, if its there, the task (tm and page #) for replacing the boot. i did see the...

    Blown Hub Seal?

    not wanting to hijack this thread. but i may have something similar going on with mine. i had to rob a few wheel assemblies off my donor 936A2 to get my truck inspection ready. i noticed as i was taking the CTIS junk off, there was grease in the hub area, along with some in the hub nipple. when...

    M923A2 Compressor Noise

    you know what they say, "thought nit, thought he farted but he @#%$". that is bc they are overly sensitive. i sometimes type all caps. I'm blind in 1 eye, can't see out the other, and opposite for hearing, can't hear out of 1 and deaf in the other. i use caps to help me format small font cells...

    M923A2 Compressor Noise

    thanks. ill looks further when i get off my hitch. why would one think you are yelling? doesn't everyone know CAPS is to denote a significant phrase, word or so forth, so as to not misunderstand, miss it or whatever?

    M923A2 Compressor Noise

    iv got 2 936A2s, 1 donor, 1 running. The ovr temp was bc it was low of coolant after i did a drain and flush. I thought i had it svced but evidently after driving it a few time around the block, i noticed it very warm. It took 2 additional attempts to get it topped off. Ill ck that thread out...

    M923A2 Compressor Noise

    That is what i thought you were referring to, but called something else in the ipc. that was also my initial thoughts as to the first place to start troubleshooting. I did have an overheating (230-240F) issue but serviced the system 2 additional times and this last test run, i think iv got...

    M923A2 Compressor Noise

    Once I get a few lbs of air, the fan engages and the wipers move, then go back to the stowed position. I disconnect the airline going to the fan, it slows down and can be stopped by hand.

    M923A2 Compressor Noise

    this was, i thought, a concern too, since i don't remember the civi compressors sounding like this. but since its normal, ill leave well enough alone. @fpchief i noticed your fan wasn't turning. did you mod it with an air activated temp switch? as soon as builds enough, my fan kicks on and is...

    Civilian pn for muffler gasket M939? Or other way to seal?

    UH-1M Seeking History of THIS Helicopter

    I'm sure there is a huey group out there, like there is for the ch-47s. i can't for the life of me remember the 47 group, but on the group, if a person a tail number, and or a s/n, info can be looked up for that specific a/c, going back to its first unit of service, to current status, or retirement.

    tire removal and air leak on M939 A2 series

    for others out there, i got 2 18" sections of 3/4" black pipe/conduit, and it works alright. I'm having 2 rh and 2 lh bars/tubing machined to fit through the rim hole, and threaded for the studs. after getting it jacked up, i burped the nuts off, and walked the tire off, but had to do some...

    tire removal and air leak on M939 A2 series

    nope, no joy. that program doesn't interact well with a mac, even though i have windows, it still won't open. oh well, ill do it the old fashion way.

    tire removal and air leak on M939 A2 series

    tire removal and air leak on M939 A2 series

    im not seeing the program. do you have the manual number? i can see wifi can download the manual. i did see a test in the troubleshooting section talking about sec not holding air, no major leaks, air can be heard venting into the intake stack, brakes applied. the thing is, i can only hear the...

    tire removal and air leak on M939 A2 series

    I'm robbing the parts truck for the stuff to get me dot legal, and the truck is in a field, that is softer than i thought. i put a 2' long section of r/r tie for shoring, then blocked the front up and let down on the crane cable and lowered it onto the blocks. the shoring under the front is...

    tire removal and air leak on M939 A2 series

    2 fold query. first off. How the heck do you get the dang tire/wheel off the axle? i got the front tires off no problem, but getting the rears over the axle/hub flange seems to be a booger. any easy ways? couple pipes over the studs then slide it off on the pipes? if there is no easy way, there...
