Autoshopteacher, thank you for the info about the heat. I guess I better make time to get this figured out

sidel2426,I still haven't bothered to get it figured out. We use the dump truck sporadically on our farm and so it hasn't been a high priority. I've basically been operating the truck with the pto shaft to the dump hydraulic pump running continuously which in the long run is probably not good...

m816, the problem isn't with the hydraulics. It is with getting the pro shaft that powers the hydraulic pump to properly engage and disengage in the transmission. By adjusting the linkage length I can get it to either engage the pto with the transmission or to disengage the pto with the...

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't think modifying the seat to go lower would get me the room I need, and it already feels pretty darn low. The cutting and welding of the steering wheel sounds like a good worst case solution. Hopefully someone else will have another idea though. Mark

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I just purchased an m817 dump truck to use around the farm and to go get rock. It's a great truck but I'm just too damn tall for the cab! Right now I'm having a devil of a time getting my foot on the clutch because my knee wacks into either the steering wheel or...
