    But yes, then again they are very powerful compared to the slugs. We had a few years ago shift and shift and shift doesn’t change the fact you only got 180 hp.

    lol I feel your pain I trained on a steel dash U model and broke in on a steel dash R model-these trucks these days all I can say is there a lot more comfortable and quiet and that’s about it… bob

    Those things were really big back in the day. People are still using them now, my uncle had them on all of his Brockways but sorry I don’t know what to tell you I don’t think. They were part of the build. I wanna say they’re aftermarket, but I am not sure somebody else will probably chime in good luck. … bob

    That sucks my first rebuilt. I put the hill holder in backwards, so it would only go in reverse. Luckily, it was all in the tail shaft. I did not have to pull the entire unit apart just the tail section.

    I believe the picture is distorted. That’s really weird looking. I’m thinking it’s an Australian CH model.

    I just assumed it was a torque converter, spinning fast enough to turn the engine over but then again I guess something has to spin the converter I have rebuilt a few myself. I can only remember one front pump on all of them one Cadillac three Fords

    Oh, I’m sure the entire unit comes from there. They did a real crummy job on the brackets
  25. mowerman
    Well, you’re partially right TJ I didn’t do anything to that truck today. I was trying to figure out how to put up a stove fan hood. One thing about this thing I do not like the hardware they gave me at all chicken shit,, brackets that look like a child made them in grade school clearly, I’m gonna have to do a little bit of modification on this thing
