Ok a few of you know that I live on a small plot of land (>2400 sq.ft) and its on a decent grade. Its 6 1/4" in 82" in the horizontal plane and MUCH more in the lateral. I checked into renting everything from a forklift to a Petibone/all terrain forklift and the cheapest was over 120.00 an...

New video! Well last weekend got a few things done and made 2 videos! One is ready to go and the second should be ready tonight....I think I have figured out away to streamline the editing process! So if I get to work on the truck they will come more regularly! Without further ado I present...

Does anybody know what the air pressure is at the glad hands at full braking? Only found the holding test of 60 psi for 5 minutes in the M105A2 TM. Thanks!

THANKS!!! Now I will wait for a kind steelsoldier to measure his deuce. No rush, I am still working on the rear suspension and then changing the engine trans..so alittle while to go!!

Good Point. OK, lets see how I can make my idea work. Questions: 1) Are treadle valves linear? i.e. 25% movement = 25% flow, 35% movement = 35% flow etc. 2) I looked at the tms for the M105 and the only test was holding for 2 mins at 60psi and the M35 compressed air unloader test at 120psi...

Thanks Eliteweapons and winfred, real world experience is what I am looking for. I can't afford 2 Detroits, just one, and I will put it in the rear first. I like the trick of locking the right front too! Thanks Guys!

Yes, EXACTLY!!!! I was completing a sentence I thought I had typed as you were replying! The air would only be for towing through the glad hands. PS I hope your hand gets better!

Hi Rusty and all, On my M135, I am going to be using a hydraulic brake system utilizing a Hydro-Max booster and master cylinder from an International. This in turn will be piped to the Ford F550 calipers to stop the Ford B700 rotors. The rear I will still use the M135 4 wheel cylinders (2...

I guess could plumb the outlet side of the airpack back to the remote reservoir, but it would be awfully clunky affair. If I don't find the Bendix valve, I will probably mount a treadle valve actuated off the brake pedal as the lightest and easiest move. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks Got a nice set of G177s (2 inches smaller than yours) but have been thinking of getting those rims! Thanks!

Thanks Guys, Looks like my tax refund will be going for a Detroit (hopefully)...maybe next year another one!

Nice truck there! Was that the bed in Taos? If so that was a great deal! Also are the tires 395s?

Hi Rusty, I will back up and list what I have, then my ultimate goal... On my M135 I have acquired the following: B700 Rotors F550 Calipers HydroMax master. I will be keeping the 4 15306 brake wheel cylinder brakes on the rear as stock. Ultimate goal...

Almost makes me want to go play in the snow.......ALMOST!!!! LOL!!!!

HiYa Plowboy.. I loved the video Thanks for posting! It looked like a fun race!

HiYa Rusty and all, I researched the R-14 hoping it would lead me to a lighter option that the air pack and I think the easiest option for me would be a Hydraulically piloted air valve, but aside from a mention here and there I have found no part numbers or full discription...do you guys...

Here I was trying to figure out some kind of switch on the pedal for trailer braking....so simple Thanks! PS Tim at Precision Brake is real busy and had promised a master made up for me, called weekly to check progress, I gave up after a month.....:(:(:(

Got a question and hopefully someone has some experience. Problem: For the H110 you can only get a Detroit Locker, no air locker available and I think 1.) I couldn't afford it if it was 2.) my understanding you can have one made if you get 50 orders, Not seeing that happening unless an...

Could I get the installed center to center measurement M35a3 jackshaft? I will be installing this shaft in my M135 and will duplicate the free play> Thanks in Advance!

HiYa Rusty, LOL!!! I wish we had the complete weight, my scale won't go anywhere near that! But with the FSO-6406 dry weight with belhousing and no shift tower weighing in at 366 pounds dry I am already ahead of the game! I will weigh the individual components (clutch, flywheel and flywheel...
