Sounds like spool valve has some gunk stuck in it?
-
You would need to talk to Barry at Watt's and see what the situation is. If they are looking to have more made? I don't know who they have make their stuff.
-
They did, but apparently they are all sold? I got mine from Barry about 15 yrs ago and they were only $600 back then. Last I saw they were twice that?

Welcome aboard!

Funny, just clicked on Ebay link again, it says auction ended...but here is something "similar"> It was a late model Freightliner. Ya, that's similiar..............NOT!

Bendix has a nice manual you can download and it goes over brake systems. I have it saved at home, I was googling trying to find the link again online. http://www.bendixvrc.com/itemDisplay.asp?documentID=6390 Click on link and save it to your computer. It covers everything about air brakes.

Yes, my B still has the flip valve that controls the TP1 valve and you leave it in EMERGENCY to run bobtail. Then flip to Normal when you hook to a trailer. The dry/wet road is a control valve for the regulator for the front brakes. Putting it to WET would limit the air pressure going to the front brakes, keeping it from locking in wet weather. That push valve is for parking only(tractor maxi brakes). Nothing to do with the other valves. I can't tell what the upper control is?

Sounds like the PTO (Power take off). The old ones were cable control, newer are electric or air. There is a gear that meshes with the transmission to gives you power to your winch. Likely not engaging fully. I'm sure someone here will have more hands on information about it.

Likely Don Martins red KW? I saw it last year at Ashland and that is when I noticed the billet 5th wheel. Yowza. Found it: https://www.4statetrucks.com/frame-chassis/semi-truck-aluminum-holland-5th-wheel-teflon-no-lube-slider-pad_18843.asp?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIidC39aD02wIVD4hpCh01GAGNEAYYASABEgKCmPD_BwE SKU: 09-05110212 Warranty:1 YEAR Read Reviews $2,095.00 EACH

I had to do a reverse serpentine around 3 sets of offset cones. It really was easy(if you have a clue), I just made the tandems on the trailer follow the tracks in the gravel from previous testers. No guesswork. Turn the steering wheel. Though, I know my g/f is HORRIBLE at backing up. She's paranoid as hell even in the middle of an open parking lot. She freaks out every time I parallel park or back into a spot real quick.

Third CB from the right says "anti lock" right on it. -
Took some finesse and looking for my Neway bags a few years back. Had to cross them to something, can't recall now. Looks to be the same model ARD 144?(I got the manual at home) something like that.
-
And you want to ask them just what did they think they were doing?? Destroying the truck and trailer was not going to help. I would expect "the doubles I used to pull turned tighter then this one trailer".......doh.

Hey hippy, is this what we were talking about

Ok. Got to thinking after I posted it might be overnite(duh). Oh well, if anyone else is looking for signs these are available. -
In Lexington? I forget which one you needed?

There is a place you can order blueprints to build a loader for your lawn tractor. I've checked it out, but just acquiring the parts isn't cheap. They list it like $1500 in parts(steel and hyd). That is a nice looking tractor, but I think it is priced a bit high. Maybe 2-2500 is more in line? Guess it all depends on how bad someone wants it?

Welcome to the site. Good, old, reliable engine. Won't win any races against a big powered truck of today, but it will keep doing it long after the new stuff breaks down.

Just the other day on FB, a buddy showed a truck stuck in his yard at his shop. Seems he has a huge area, but somehow this driver never turned the wheels and drove straight off the road into the ditch. SMH.

Heard from the driver after............"well my 14ft straight truck always made that turn okay"................

Oh, one of these days I'll escape my Ashland show job and get over and hassle yun's. Someday. Glad to see you all had a great time. Did Vlad get the "long distance" award? At my FE Reunion we have two that show up, one from Europe and one from Australia. -
For the cabover lovers. Low miles. Pre Emissions

My 237 has "muffling device" tag on the turbo. Being a firetruck engine I see why, as early firetrucks were typically muffler delete....ie:loud. -
Bob...stop in Ohio for my Ashland show. Macungie Friday, Ashland Saturday!!!
