4 glad hands.
100 ' of air hose.
20 ' of 3/8 fuel line

6 tons huh? You realize the truck you are getting weighs almost 12 tons? Be careful.

M813 12 tons? I thought they were just under 10.

M813 12 tons? I thought they were just under 10.

Oops, I think they are around 10.5 tons. The 923 is around 11.5 tons.

Don't forget the safety chains.

 

[Matt1970M35A]

Good idea Dr. Evil. Were would I hook the chains on the towed truck?

 

[swbradley1]

Matt, I would wrap them around the frame where the bumper attaches and cross them to the Deuce if you do have to tow it. Tie the chain ends so they don't come apart as well.

Congrats Matt. Please be safe.

 

[Matt1970M35A]

Ok so Ill wrap the chain around the frame and tie the end so they dont fall off.
Any pointers on getting the 813 started. I would make my day to drive it home.
I gimped my M35 for Georgia to Indiana with a busted transition. May be Ill have better luck this time.
PS I am hating my genset. After replacing the fuel line and cleaning the carb it still wont start. What a POS

 

[gimpyrobb]

Well? Any updates?????

 

[Matt1970M35A]

Im still weighting for my EUC to clear.
I have my M35 all loaded up and ready for the recovery.
Still having trouble with my genset. The rust in the fuel line killed my new fuel pump so I just strapped a small fuel tank to the top but now it floods. I must still have dirt in the needle valve. Ill have to clean it for the 3ed time.
Any one have a diesel genset they want to trade for a gas one that will only run when you dont need it.
Maybe the EUC will clear tomorrow and I can pick it up Friday.

 

[Matt1970M35A]

Still weighting for my EUC but that have give my an extra day to work on my ever so wonderful genset which is now purring like a kitten on speed.
Just needed to flush the fuel pump and grind a casting that was rubbing the float.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Find fuel without ethanol, it won't swell the float.

Ready to get some Haspin mud on that truck?

 

[m816]

Matt, better get in touch with the guy with the 900 series and pay for the fuel. It is safer, and having a second man with you will make things a lot easier. Don't forget your cell phone. (Good for calling for help if things go bad) and have 911 on speed dial. Good luck

 

[Matt1970M35A]

Im ready to get it covered in mud.
As far as help my dad is going. He wanted it so he can help with the recovery and we work well tougher.
I also have a chase vehicle to fallow me home.

 

[Matt1970M35A]

I received my EUC today! Picking it up Wednesday.

Welllllllll it's Wednesday night, need an update with pictures. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
