    M916/M920 and M939 starter interchange?

    Medium and heavy duty starters follow an SAE 3 bolt mount pattern, regardless of engine maker. What differentiates them is the pinion teeth (heavy duty usually has an 11 larger tooth pinion, and medium duty has a 12 smaller tooth pinion). There are 2 different mounting bolt hole diameters (not...

    what are yall using for a dump coversion?

    I am going through the exact same thing with my M925A2, also attracted to, but concerned about the C&C kit capability, and general lack of info. I have found dump hoist kits on flea-bay that contain much more info, and capability choices. Search terms "620 hoist". There are links provided in...

    M925A2 Washer Bottle Threaded Hold Down Ring, Pops Off

    So, when I use the washers, the bottle pressurization pops the metal ring up and off the bottle. Vent in the top plate is clear and working. Anybody resolve this fairly easily without switching to electric? Thanks.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    What was the issue with your washer bottle, and how did you fix it? I have a 939 series, and the metal threaded hold-down ring on the washer bottle pops off when the jar is pressurized. The vent in the top plate is clear and working. I'll start a new thread on this, but if your situation...

    Batteries charge unevenly 939a2

    You may have one or several bad batteries. Load test them, and check specific gravity of each cell. A fully charged battery will register 12.8V after the surface charge is removed. This equates to a cell specific gravity of 1.26. On a load test, the battery is put under a short yet heavy...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Thanks for the detail and pictures. A broken EGT probe (thermocouple) located pre-turbo would not go through your compressor, but rather through the turbine housing. I'm also interested in the next step for increased airflow in regards to lowering EGT, such as the BatMo wheel on our stock HX40...

    Windshield Seal Replacement Procedure, Any Tips or Tricks?

    Have an M925A2. Purchased and need to replace the windshield gaskets/seals. These are the ones which are 3 sided (like a square "U"), and seal the moveable windshield glass frame when the windshield glass panel is in the closed position. Basic question is if you can sneak it into the groove...

    925a2 not shifting past 3rd

    As a reference, my M925A2 is at 65-67mph @ 2200rpm, pedal on the floor. No mods yet. You should be able to achieve the same. The shift points and governed RPM are close together, so that makes it a little difficult to clearly see which is the culprit. Check your max RPM in neutral, you...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    Check obvious things like thermocouple polarity (red is usually "-" on thermocouples), C/F setting on display if selectable, is the gauge a 12V or 24V unit, and which did they ship you, is the gauge set to the compatibility of the thermocouple (J type, K type, etc....). 300F is not correct...

    Another Hitch Thread, Curt #15902 U-Weld It Kit

    Correct. As shipped, the hitch side plates reach to the center of the top set of bumper holes/bolts. It is really a matter of laziness, as one could drill 4 additional holes through the hitch side plates and frame (2 per side) and be done with it. I'm going to cut 5/16" washers in half, place...

    You should have seen the neighbors faces as we flew over at 400' with both side doors open, aiming the door guns at their dogs running the yard. Nothing happened of course, but what a scene to be had.

    2014 Findlay Ohio buy/sell/trade thread

    I'll be attending the OH show with Cleatus (WildChild467). He'll be the one wearing the shirt with a "Kick Me" sign on his back. Is there any way I can beg somebody to bring a 5 ton winch level wind and tensioner? I'm trying all I can to not have to pay $600 from a vendor, but may have no...

    So who has bumped the power on a 6CTA cummins

    What you are feeling is correct. That is the governor pulling out fuel at the governed RPM as it is supposed to. On the 8.3, that is in the range of 2000-2300rpm. To overcome this, buy and install an aftermarket governor spring kit (GSK). This can raise the governor de-fueling up to around...

    5 Ton Locking Fuel Cap, Easy

    Not sure. Difficult to tell on 4" pipe, and I don't want to guess and be wrong. All I can say is the brass ring threaded on very well, I used sealant with it, and the entire thing seals up very nicely.
