    going to the CR seals, I've always taken some gear oil slowly on the inside of the new CR and rotated the seal by hand within it's self. self satisfaction knowing seal has lube. keep in mind this seal was a new item back in "dinosaur days==my time slot" . not needing stemco seal/ ring installer was a major break through in mechanical terms. earlier topics discussed the two seal wheel set up;;grease inner/ oil outer.

    no offence but it's called a floor board still. to save towing cost ; get a piece of metal flat stock ; cut a hole for brake pedal ; few screws to secure then move unit. later time a mor accurate piece can be fabricated. OR contact or fearless leader :WATT's to discuss a proper floor section.

    it's called pacing yourself when in retirement. don't want to hurry and do everything at once::: then you won't have anything to do. save some for tommmorrrow

    OK we will let it go for NOW ; but is that Your final answer .wonder if parts qualify as Holy dick then ! who said that !!!!

    that's one of the reasons I always installed a shreader fitting in the main air tanks of those culprits!! build air systems up WITH SHOP AIR FIRST ;; then open doors and drive them out.

    the rear mount P T O on a 6 speed runs off the lower counter shaft which is basically in center bottom. driveshaft runs straight back. side mount pto's run off higher side mount; which on the 6 speed had to have main stick in a gear suitable for pto operation while aux in neutral. purpose of rear mount enabled truck to creep slowly while dump was able to feed a spreader box sufficiently. how the pump itself is set up depends on how good some one is with a welder to fabricate a suitable mount bracket.

    THANK YOU to ALL surviving Veterans , if only the youngsters will ever understand the supreme sacrifice given so they can have their cell phones and more important their freedom. watched many stories last two days of WWII. forever grateful to the code talkers and many others. as I watched the segment of the battle of the bulge and the P O W's taken and tortured by the Japanese ; thought of my late Uncle and what he must have gone through . understand now why he was a quite Man and never spoke of the scars on His back or the PURPLE HEART He was given. tried but couldn't then or now hold back the tears. THANK YOU EVERYONE who have served🍻

    once again this BMT site has proven to be excellent therapy for reviving an old mans brain cells. reading topic :R model with 3208 cat: was almost sure it would have been classed R-400, 400 series would be gas or small diesel . there it's posted R400, reading info on 3208 , couldn't remember earlier version. knew there was a 6 in model #. low and behold info posted 1160, had customer owning ford having 1160 which went bad. found good 3208 did a swap out for him. yes the 1160 was blue. YOU people are the BEST.

    AMEN on that one. "things don't work as they used to""!!! wait till your old to the point of NOT knowing what those "things" are supposed to be fore .LOL ;;experience speaking on that one.
  19. mechohaulic
    if it was a steel frame; the hood emblem would be a RS600L ; the R==r model / L ==aluminum rails/ 600 ==series/ 2nd L== western version(larger grill).

    good short chain ; remove two of the bolts (3/8th ?)opposite each other on box might need two bolts tad longer to secure chain to box. when hooking the chain hoist offset the hook to pick box favoring toward cab side. slight twisting /turning out put shaft will clear. best of luck;;; you can do it.
  21. mechohaulic
    having proper caps/plugs for hyd lines eliminates lot of mess ; or large pan . it's close clearance on the in frame boxes. floor crane definitely safer. have used a 2x4 radiator to cab with chain hoist . finger smashing with out helpful equipment.

    if only able to go back to the good days. the Beard name another well known in the day. may have been different divisions and family issues among them ; made for comical stories at coffee shop OR bar. Danny beard ; construction let us NOT forget ALLAN Beard with the black parade ready dumps = and the feds on his tail !!!LOL
  23. mechohaulic
    alot nicer looking then the black /orange combo of the other units, hasn't seen enough road surface to wear of the tire stickers. only thing missing would be a classy bit of pinstriping.
  24. mechohaulic

  25. mechohaulic
