Any pics of these parts on install would be a nice share. ;)

My suction tube was quite pitted. This is a common issue for your rig sucking air. In my case it didn't have any holes, but I did sheath it with some fuel line and put a hose clamp at the top (not shown) to make sure if it ever does pop a hole, that it sucks from the bottom or near the bottom of...

Good luck to you! Best Wishes!

On my M813 with the NHC250, I am planning on removing my battery box and tool box from the passenger side and adding two more fuel tanks. One will be a 78 gallon matching the original on the drivers side and a smaller 55 that is typical for the towing rigs to go under the passenger door. My...

After I get through the hubs I will hit those 3 hoses from the frame to the axle. Thanks for letting me know.

Have a replacment pair of brake lines for the front axle. The one was cracked when the old bad wheel cylinder was removed. Also have a new front steering hose line on its way. I had thought I would make me a custom hose but I am running out of time as I need my rig operable to drive a 300 mile...

With XZL 16.00R20s and steel HEMTT wheels with solid run flats my tires are about 615+ a tire already. The only thing I am wondering about is when I run a "tandem" chain set with Detroit lockers in both rears, will the lockers fight each other being loosely chained to one another? Or will I...

With XZL 16.00r20s I have about an inch between mine on a M813 6X6 that I think is the same as the 900 series. Not enough space for chains. I plan to make a single chain that wraps both rear tires like a tank tread.

OK, Old bearing races and old seal popped out with the help of a extra 1" 80/20 aluminum "punch" ;). Placed the new bearings into the freezer and cleaned up the drum/hub to be respectable. Used a little sand paper to clean up a few ruff spots where the previous installer had "bumped" the edge of...

Setting some nice new bearings on the front of THE BOT, my M813. The BOT seems to be fond of nice shiny parts.

And that was the "good" bearing! The inside bearing had chipped rollers and full on cavities where rust had taken a bite! Ya, I was wishing the bearings would have been OK but $250 bucks to have a solid rolling corner on my rig is WAY more important. I will pull the caps on the other front once...

Pulled my left front tire off to get the bad wheel cylinder replaced. This wheel cylinder was not retracting. Even with the brake adjusters all the way relaxed, there was enough "brake grab" that I could just turn the tire by myself. I should have done this repair a while ago but I knew I...

EeeK! I never have had one of these PTOs before, mine is still on my garage floor awaiting more winch parts to install. I was thinking one of the air cyclinders I have on hand would be doing the trick to be going from Forward to Reverse and cutting pressure to spring return to Neutral. I was...

Sorry for posting before I looked up your two trailer choices. My response is totally not helpful at all...

I am very much liking this option for the original PTO. I don't have any linkage for my PTO and was wondering if you have seen this setup on any of the original PTO models? If not I will perhaps make one if the cost is similar to getting linkage parts. Cool mod.

OK, With the sprag, in a neutral position, I can see there is the same spring (parts #21 below) to push the piston (part #26 below) to a "middle" or "neutral" position. Can you enlighten me to understand "It will still be a limited slip type operation" means. I thought I had read that it was a...

Had to get my old heater core replaced. Since a replacement from any MV suppliers for the same bound plate design in copper was like $200 I made a different one from the sizing I cross referenced online. Instead of fitting straight up, it leans backward just slightly since it is 8.75ish inches...

My 13 year old and I made our way around the rig and pumped all the zerks with Mobile 1 Red Lithium grease. Also the transmission was full on gear oil but was looking a bit on the ugly side. So drained that all out and after looking at the chocolate looking garbage that came out I decided every...

Connected up the rest of the 6AN dual fuel mod today. What a pain getting that plug out of the back of the head. I removed the defrost/heater box in the cab and drilled a 2 5/8 hole through the firewall directly behind the plug. To remove the lock-tight sealed plug I had read heat will bust it...

Digg-in those chains!
