mowerman Posted yesterday at 02:50 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 02:50 PM Yes, I got the pressure screen out. The other one I have not removed. I haven’t really paid that much attention to it, but I’ll be out there looking at it in a little while. I still haven’t finished the oil lines, but I did put on the pressure line, I put the alternator back inAnd the fan belts. Also still having trouble trying to center the wheels . I’m going to go out there in a little while and measure distance between the backing plates and the leaf springs. Try to get an accurate position for Straight wheels, … Bob 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/79/#findComment-581516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted 20 hours ago Popular Post Share Posted 20 hours ago So the page and a half of complicated instructions on timing of the steering box and pulling it apart again and again and the rest of that stuff I am far to dumb to understand wasn't needed ??

Popular Post mowerman Posted 14 hours ago Author Popular Post Share Posted 14 hours ago Well, job is complete. On a happier note. I’ve got great turning radius now and steers real good. sector shaft is no longer leaking but the bottom end cap is Joey you had mentioned. Did you put that cap on the wrong side well, yes I did at first and I noticed that as soon as I got it bolted up, took it back off I tore the gasket slightly sealer had already set up in just a few minutes. I thought I could pull a fast one and just goop it up real good with Indian head, but it did not hold. No other leaks. I guess that’s part of the sink or swim. Glad this messy shit is almost over with. Do it yourselfers uuuuuuuuurrrrrrr 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/79/#findComment-581563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted 13 hours ago Author Share Posted 13 hours ago Ha ha, thanks for the peptalk. At least the box doesn’t have to come out again. I still don’t get the punch on the sector shaft is at 9 o’clock, and the punch on the Pittman arm is like 1230 but everything seems to be lined up perfect i’ll stop by O’Reillys in the morning and get some more gasket paper. I am going to need it for the rear axle also Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/79/#findComment-581566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechohaulic Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago there is what appears to be an early yr R model with wrecker body in CT on rte 10 cheshire . reason I say early since it has the one piece hood : not having the two lower fender additions , purpose of mentioning due to right front fender had a mishap. reminds me of the DM. since yours will be done soon ; maybe you want more fiberglass fun. If i could figure out this picture taking ;I would.
