pump
Hey I don't get on here much anymore but my 816 had hydraulic pump problems also. You can pull the pump (from under the boom) without lifting the boom or even disconnection the hoses ( unless they are bad)
On mine the coupling had gone bad. Found a nice person on here with a parts...
Its pretty much the same as a M35A2 as far as inspection goes. No intank fuel pump just the IP on the engine so if the rubber fuel lines have a pinhole, it lets the fuel drain back to the tank and it takes forever to start. Get a can of ether to help start it if that happens.
Mine got 3-4...
So I think I might have solved my own problem. Looked in the TM's for the M39 5 ton series. Found part# 10876275 coupling assembly. Hopefully the beds between the M816 and the M543 are the same, now just to find a "new" one.
for future reference it was in TM 9-2320-211-34P page 677 item #2.
So I finally got my wrecker down to a shop that can work on it. They pulled the hydraulic pump off and found the coupling is bad.
I have been looking in the TM's for that part and can not find it. TM 9-2320-260-34P-2 page 265 has the exploded view with the pump itself but it ends with the...
I've got a non running 5 ton in storage in Trinidad CO. Need it moved to Aztec NM or even California if you are going that far.
It rolls and stops but does not run.
Sooner is better, thanks.
yea,my shaft is spinning. TM says to lift the boom up out of the way to pull the hydraulic pump but I have no way to lift my boom. Anyone pulled the pump without lifting the boom up?
I purchased 10 tires, 11R20 mounted on wheels. They are in Tempe AZ and need to go to Farmington NM. They should be ready in a couple of weeks after payment clears. I would guess they weigh around 200 lbs or so? maybe more.
let me know if you can help
thanks

The M813 and the M54 truck share most parts from the cab back. the m813 has the Cummins engine and longer front sheet metal (hood, side panels and fenders). Detroit lockers are available the last time I looked. To single it out, you will need different wheels. The stock ones are a little...
be aware that California has new rules concerning diesel engines and emissions. You might want to look into that before investing any money and time into getting a MV.
who ever is scouting this weekend, drop me a line with your phone# and time you are going. I live in Loma Linda now so I am free to tag along if you will have me. I don't have any of my MV's out here yet though.
