    Hey Joe! Glad to hear you are putting the miles on her! Scott's truck will be leaving our place soon. I'll be sad to see it go as it's a REALLY sharp truck. Andy

    5 ton M816 going to Deleware- anybody here??

    This morning I had an M816 on a stepdeck drive by my office. What a way to start your day! I then received a call from our scheduler who said "there's some 6x6 wrecker out in the lot getting loaded is that yours". I went out and talked to the truck driver who said the truck was out of Little...

    engine replacement??

    Quite Heavy! Attached is a fully dressed brand new Cummins NHC 250 in the crate in my old Dodge. Should be a pretty easy swap just make sure you have good chains and a healthy overhead/crane/excavator as other mentioned a harbor freight 1.5 ton crane won't cut the mustard! There is quite a...

    5 ton two piece rims in Columbus pickup

    I recently won 12 of the 2 piece Hemmt rims in the last Columbus, OH sale. It looks like the rims are strapped to a single pallet. What would be the best avenue to ship these to Minnesota? Any trucking companies in particular recommended? If somebody in Ohio wants a set of 6 Hemmt rims...

    M813 W/W, 16.00-20s, & HEMTT RIMS

    Whew! It's bad enough just putting a seal in a rear 5 ton hub! I just grabbed a set of 12 of these rims from Columbus that I don't really need! If anybody in Ohio area needs a set give me a hollar for a GREAT price! Andy 507-250-5288

    M813 W/W, 16.00-20s, & HEMTT RIMS

    Looks Great! A few questions since I haven't tried using our two piece rims yet. Did you just use the bud caps on the front to extend the studs? Did you have to flip the hubs in the rear? If the rims were flipped did the tires rub? Thanks, Andy

    A3 in my area, go for it or stick with an A2

    Plus the 3126 Cat doesn't start well in the winter, gets poor fuel economy, has a mediocre at best exhaust note at idle and under load, has a HEUI injection system with a non added value high pressure oil system that is expensive to repair and is problematic, sleveless, lucky to get 10k hours...

    How do I tighten XM818 hand brake

    Go clock wise on the knob on the hand brake to tighten. If the handle is stuck or maxed of threads follow the cable to the drum brake on the driveline and tigthen the cable there-easy as pie Make sure you have a decent amount of friction material on your shoes as you have 20,000lbs relying...

    Bought a M915A1 today

    Transmission???? Do you happen to know if these trucks have the 700 series Allison automatics as listed in the descriptions? I googled this series of truck and it pulls up the Caterpillar transmission although the description of the trucks said 754 Allison and the pictures didn't look like the...

    The NHC 250's like to run! Good deal!

    My new 5 ton

    Yes you can pull start that truck with the black control box missing. The beauty of the NHC is you could have every wire stolen off your truck and you should be able to pull start it. On top of the injection pump there is a knurled round knob which you will bottom out clockwise to turn the...

    My new 5 ton

    Tom, Glad to see you found an M818. Hope you can get it up and running soon. Make sure to share pics of the completed unit with your log loader when you are done. Have you turned the injection pump on manual and pull started it to see if all mechanicals are good on the truck? I'd check...
