We should be getting our EUC forms completed in the next few weeks so we can pick up two M818’s we won in Stout Field, Indiana.
My question is we have one drop deck trailer that will be picking up both units that is 40” off the ground on the lower deck. Both of the trucks look to be right...
Still in the process of checking and adjusting all of the brakes on the M812. One of the brake drums was covered in oil which we found to be a bar inner oil seal upon taking it apart. Is there any trick to installing this seal into the brake drum? It keeps wanting to pop out. I bought a 6"...
that didn't work!
Well those pictures didn't come through on the last post. I retried and hit preview but nothing comes up. Oh well, the govliquidation pics aren't too exiting. I'll make sure to get pictures from the pick up and when they come back to MN parked next to the M812 for size...
Thanks
Citizensoldier- I did save all of the pics posted to the listing for my dad and my truck to my computer since I thought they would take down the auction after a while-which govliquidation did. I've got pics of them on my work computer which I can post. My dad and I ended up buying two...
thanks!
Thanks for the quick help. I'll try to get some pictures posted of us picking them up in Indiana when we hear the word go from govliquidation!

I recently won one of the M818 tractors in Indiana and so did my father. This will be mine and my fathers first time going through govliquidation and we will both be filling out our own EUC's.
I printed off a copy of the EUC form so I could read through it before filling it out. My questions...
This will be my first time bidding on gov liquiidation and I'm looking at purchasing a truck in another state. I see on gov liquidation that you are supposed to pay tax in the state where you purchase the vehicle. Does that mean that when I license the truck in MN I have to pay sales tax...
thanks
The brakes are backed off. I thought about putting the weight of the truck on the brake drum but didn't know if that was a good idea. Since I see that supermechanic used this technique with success I'll give it a shot. I hope the other brake shoes work as they should for adjustment so...
I'm in the process of adjusting the brakes on my M812 and ran into a problem on my first wheel. I'm currently working on the drivers steer tire. I'm going by the manual for adjustment procedure and everything is going well until I get to the adjustment bolt on the upper left side/the bolt...
Open House
HRD,
I'll try to make it out to your open house. I never turn down a chance to check out real heavy iron. If the M812 was ready to be on the road I would drive it over.

worthwhile respones?
My manuals & cd which I do own will be located at my office over the weekend so I won't be able to access them to look up the repair. I'm in the middle of this project and would like to get this completed. Anyone with a useful response that knows this axle setup would be...
I'm in the process of replacing my steering knuckle boot. After taking off the old boot and the boot/knuckle protector plate on the front of the axle I put some grease in the bottom grease zerk under the axle to see where exactly the grease from this zerk goes into the assy. At first it just...
After taking the engine drive pulley bracket setup off to ease with belt replacement I notice that the unit doesn't spin as freely as I would like and makes some noise. It looks like the old grease zerk was ornamental only as it took a good 20 pumps of grease before the new grease started to...
Got the radiator out and have all of the belts off with the exception of the water pump belt. I don't see any adjustment to loosen this belt up? I walked the old belt off by using a screwdriver and wrenching the engine over. The new belt is tighter and will not install this way. Do I have to...
2nd question asking about air shift for the transfer case located on top of the transmission.
My truck is currently blowing air out of the vent tube while in neutral. When I put the truck in reverse the air leaks go away. I did spray a soapy water spray over the assy. and I had bubbles...
