Sir, the towbars are found on some MK-14 trailers and are used for doing a tandem tow. That's a MK48 connected to an MK 14 with an additional MK 14 for a combo of 3 units. The towbars are a little on the rare side and they weigh about 500 pounds so I wouldn't attempt to install without a...

Few more :driver:

Had a nice trip today. I forgot to bring my camera so there's not much in the name of "in progress" photos. I talked Atomic into helping me pull a trailer for Hoefler. I didn't explain exactly what was going to be involved because what's the fun in that. We first went to Mr. Herbert Kellam's...

The 809 series 5 tons with the exception of the M816 and M820 and I'm not sure what the bridge carrier weighs (M814) are under the 26,000 pound cutoff and have hydraulic brakes so they should be legal without a CDL in your state as the M35's are. A CDL is cheap insurance for someone like myself...

I don't think it's a leaky connection from my experience. Read all of what I'm about to post. I messed up a line that feeds the intake flame heater when I installed my C Turbo. It would still crank right up every time but would shut off about 15 seconds afterward. It would then take 30...

Good to see everything made the ride safely. I only wish I would have brought a camera so I could show what a Deuce with rear a cargo cover looks like backing an MK-14 Trailer onto the lowboy. First time with that and mirrors and ground guide only, I got it on the 3rd attempt!!! Nice seeing...

Mine's a "New" in the 90's motor. I've run her hard, extended cruising on the governor, quite a few heavy loads. I believe there is logic on the 12 point rod bolts as mine has not slung apart. She does have an oil leak from the head gasket that I will fix but it's so slight, I never have to...

The AC60's do require a slightly wider terminal. I've seen pictures on here of people grinding the terminals on the AC60 down to fit the factory connector and I've seen pictures of people replacing the terminals like I did.

I've read that the AC60G's need a longer glow cycle. This may be of concern to the OP as he is in Wisconsin. Here in GA, the AC60G's work fine on our coldest days (roughly 19 degrees positive) without any changes to the existing controller system. I did the resistor bypass and strongly...

JohnJuan, this is a useful thread that died about 2 years ago. I appreciate your enthusiasm but putting a . on a long dead thread is frowned upon on most forums I've ever visited. It will bring the thread back to the top and someone else might gain an understanding on the timing marks between...

I've driven many NHC 250 powered trucks. I just thought that was a common "Diesel Rattle" when I stepped on the throttle. I'm not sure how your's sounds but I thought it sounded rather mean and I hope my next truck has it!!!

You make some valid points in you're argument. I commend you on that. My A2 is lacking the air assist steering but I don't miss the power steering that much, it actually steer's pretty easy. I do enjoy being able to drive 62 MPH if I desire to, I enjoy being able to burn most any filtered...

I've checked back in sooner. You do realize these things are on the governor at 55 mph on the stock 9-20's. I'm on 11R20's and I'm limited to 63 mph. No worries there but I actually only run about 45 mph or so. There is a reason. The multifuel motor in these trucks was based on an old farm...

Never trust the fuel gauge on a MV. There are two wires going to the fuel gauge, 1 has 24 volts, one grounds to the sending unit. It varies it's resistance based on the amount of fuel present and what the float level is at. Back to my first sentence, If you believe a fuel gauge in you're...

Thread title is very misleading. No, you do not need custom rims to mount XL's, 831's or G177's in the 11R20 realm of tires. It is missing the bed, that happens but you can normally find one from someone who has bobbed a Deuce for pennies. If it is an 85 model, it could possibly be a "dual...

I used the OTC tool for glowplug removal. My worst was the two on the passenger side rear, I had to get the battery out of the way before I could get good access. I also went with wellman for the replacement and I neglected doing the resistor bypass. Guess where I was within a few starts...

Truck was 1045 but did not have good batteries. Drove it 120 miles home. Have since put uprights, bows and rear canvas, replaced front canvas, installed Firestone 11X20's T831's, new airpack and master, 3 new wheel cylinders, new soft top, LED headlights, all fluids changed, spin on oil filter...

I've read this thread from time to time. I'll toss in that I have a new in 92' Herc Multi in my truck. FDC bypassed, fuel turned up till it blows some smoke when slamming the throttle at idle but it clears up. I don't have a pyro yet. Anyhow, it struggles to pull a 14,000 pound load, think...

I was about to throw out the same explanation Ron. And you're absolutely correct, if you can't hear a 5 ton running from 25 feet away, somethings wrong. At the last GA Rally, I heard your straight piped wrecker from quite a ways further than that. Those 855's are loud and it was my family's...

Mine started and stalled for my wife at 0 Celsius the other day. She didn't apply throttle while starting and it took her a few times to get it re-fired. Haven't had an issue since I explained the cold start procedure of flooring it until it's running. The "Fast Idle" does not have enough...
