mechohaulic Posted yesterday at 02:52 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:52 PM 18 minutes ago, mowerman said: 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. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/64/#findComment-576173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted 20 hours ago Author Share Posted 20 hours ago Well, I went out there and tried to remove the bottom return line and I was making such a mess. Just trying to get that thing off. I threw in the towel and came in the house and started watching TV. I’ll start on it first thing in the morning and no, I did not spill any oil But was getting mud and gunk and oil all over my hands. I think tomorrow I’ll put on a pair of rubber gloves to finish removing it. I think I have to take a hacksaw and put a little cut in it.

mrsmackpaul Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Old rubber can be a bugger to get off I just replace everything as I go, I figure it's been there nearly 45 years, it's best days are probably behind it Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/64/#findComment-576200 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago ha ha Paul yes, I will definitely be changing both lines. I must be getting old too much grease and grime and oil gets overwhelming. … bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/64/#findComment-576211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
