Welcome....good luck with the troublesome Granite.......ill bet its emissions systems or injector cups....lol Of course, assuming its an MP series......

Would the museum have the build sheet for my 2011 gu813???? Theres a few holes i cant fill in.

that poor "little" deere didn't stand a chance.....lol. Can't beat brute force and ignorance.

a high school buddies dad is a local electrical contractor, and had an old ford cherry picker. It was (is?) a gas job with a belt driven compressor for the brakes and pto.

I would love discs.....just gotta find a way to convince the boss man. Anyone have a ball park number to convert an triaxle from drums to discs? i realize there are lots of variables, just a rough estimate will suffice for the time being........

Yard guy at work has a 2014 mustang gt, had it about 3-weeks when someone hit it in a parking lot and wrecked the front driver fender, front of the driver's door, rocker panel.....no note, no nothing.....people suck

Power supply can be fairly easy to replace in a desktop

I ripped the carpet out of my first jeep and shot the inside with rhino lining....best money ever spent

And.....welcome

The epa07 (dpf) emissions system had been giving trouble. Lots of cracked filters. My buddies 2010 mp7 has gone thru 5 or 6.... I have had good luck (knock on wood) with the epa10 (def) system so far, 120000km on a 2011 model year. Both are gu813's with mp7 405-m and fuller 8ll in vocational service

If they share a bolt pattern with jeep, an old buddy of mine might have a set in his garage.....

Good read. Thank you.

Possibly one of the best places to start..... Welcome

Although, closer inspection of the pics reveal a ridiculous shifter.....damn

Ha.....neat.

Too bad it's so far away. The cab on our R is a bit rough.......

Could have been worse......maybe

Don't mean to hijack.... We have a pair of small air cooled diesel generators with both PULL START and electric start that have compression relief lever. Needs it to start either way.......pull starts a bitch, lemme tell you Thing will break your fingers if you don't know what you're doing.

We run an old (89) rd with an e6 350 econodyne and an 8ll that puts my mp7-405m and 8ll to shame......

Good ole 360. A buddy of mine had a ram 2500 4x4 witha 360 in high school. Good reliable monster it was. Got a good laugh pulling him out of the mud with my 88 jeep yj 4.2l tho..... Ha. Still makes me smile lol

Not sure about this specific set up, but the pig farmer I worked for had a small livestock trailer with air over hydraulic brakes. There was a master cylinder mounted above the landing gear with an air brake pot actuating it from glad hands on the 99 Mack c? Tractor that pulled it. Can't remember if it had spring brakes too.....Seemed to be a fairly simple set up. Surely someone with more knowledge than I will chime in....

Drive on......

*posted on another forum* I LIKE THIS TEACHER ! A lesson that should be taught in all schools . . and colleges Back in September, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Bobcaygeon (north of Peterborough Ontario) public school, did something not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. ... When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks. 'Ms.. Cothren, where're our desks?' She replied, 'You can't have a desk until you tell me how you earn the right to sit at a desk.' They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' No,' she said. 'Maybe it's our behaviour.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behaviour.' And so, they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no desks in the classroom. By early afternoon television news crews had started gathering in Ms.Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom, Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.' At this point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it. Twenty-seven (27) War Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom, each one carrying a school desk. The Vets began placing the school desks in rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.' By the way, this is a true story. Please consider passing this along so others won't forget that the freedoms we have in this great country were earned by War Veterans. LEST WE FORGET - WEAR A POPPY TO SHOW YOUR RESPECT ON REMEMBERANCE (VETERANS) DAY.( ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SHIRT ABOVE YOUR HEART- NEVER ON YOUR HAT OR ANYWHERE ELSE- SHOW RESPECT! ) Eternal gratitude to all those who fought and continue to fight for our freedoms.

Rims ain't touching the road yet.....

Twin steer tandems are the norm around southern Ontario for mixers and slingers etc. a few dumps too, but mostly steering lift tandems now, thanks to the SPIF crap
