    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    Hey Ronmar, do you know if these O-rings need to be any special type/size, or will a similar sized O-ring from an O-ring kit work?

    No worries. I appreciate you trying to help. I didn't think it would matter, but obviously insurance agents must be licensed by state it appears.

    Strange sound coming from rear end

    I'm a new owner of a M1078 A0 and mine runs and drives great. I have mostly only driven it for a few short miles here and there so far, but today I took it for a longer drive and I noticed when I'm running around 35 to 40 mph and let off the gas, I can hear a roaring noise coming from just...

    I contacted your guy, but he was not licensed in my state. I finally called my insurance guy back and asked him to try again for me and this time I used the correct wording and got the thing insured. I just told him since it was so hard to insure it, that I was only going to use it as a hobby to...

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    Thanks for the additional information Ronmar. Yes, unfortunately, both pumps are having issues. I can actually get the cab up to the tipping point if I pump furiously for about a 1,000 pumps and that is no exaggeration either, but I can't get it any further than that. It literally took me about...

    The pedal is definitely sticky, so I think I need to check that and make sure it's not idling too high, so your suggestion is probably right on the mark. My hand pump will raise the cab to almost the tipping point with about 1,000 pumps (not exaggerating). Not sure what that means, but assuming...

    Alternative hydraulic hand pump.

    My air/hydraulics is shot and needs rebuilding, and my manual pump appears to be shot as well, so I was thinking of going this route and just eliminating my air/hydraulics and hand pump. However, while researching the parts, I found this 12v hydraulic pump that I think would do the same thing...

    Just Received My M1078 A0

    Thanks for all of the replies. I already converted to dual batteries, so I did that right out of the gate when putting the batteries into it before starting. I did add hydraulic fluid to the upper tank and all it would do is mist and spew fluids, so I guess I need to find the rebuild kit and...

    Just Received My M1078 A0

    While this is not my first post here, this is my first post on my new M1078. I purchased it off of a Govplanet auction a couple of weeks ago as a non-runner with a flat on the front driver side tire. I took a chance on it since it seemed to have little wear and tear on the interior controls and...

    OH No Luck in Ohio

    Yes, please forward to me if you don't mind. A few people had mentioned Progressive, so I went to them, and low and behold, they go through Haggerty. I didn't realize this until I had filled out all of the information, but I was picky with my wording this time, so maybe they will approve it? If...

    OH No Luck in Ohio

    I tried my local independent insurance guy whom I have a lot of insurance with and he said it had to be written as a commercial policy and it was too expensive. While he was quoting me, I saw all of the posts on Hagerty and they quoted me $289.00 a year, so I went with that. After a few emails...
