Mack CH613 Dump Truck
Deere Mack replied to Deere Mack's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Honestly I had rather find something that fits the bill. So many of these trucks are getting shipped over seas they are getting harder to find every day. I've also found a '97 RD tandem that I'm going to shift my focus on. Here's a few pics

Mack CH613 Dump Truck
Deere Mack replied to Deere Mack's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
I haven't looked at the truck just yet, got pic's and a little info. It's about 4 hours away, held up when I learned about the frame. I'll have to ask him how thick it is. I'm looking for a truck to use in my excavation business. It could be used for anything, but more than likely a lot of on site stuff, maybe some demo, hauling top soil and chert etc. Need a good all purpose truck. I'm not opposed to an tri- axle, just trying to keep opperating and expense cost down. -
Mack CH613 Dump Truck
Deere Mack replied to Deere Mack's topic in Modern Mack Truck General Discussion
Thank you sir! Thats pretty much what I was thinking. Having a hard time finding something ready to work around here. Where's a good place to look other than craigslist and truckpaper or the other know equipment sights? -
Good Morning everyone! I've been looking for a good tandem dump truck and found a '02 CH613 for sale. It's more than likely been converted and doesn't have a double frame. It's got a 15' bed, the guy said it'll haul about 16 yd and camelback suspension. My question is, should I be shy of it not having a double frame? Every thing else checks out. This will be my first dump truck so I'm not that familar with them. Thanks!

Single 5205 lbs and dual 4805 lbs at 110 psi
-
Thanks for the replys! After the brain storm here, I'm not sure they'll work, on the legal side anyway. As dual tire's they are rated at 4805 LBS each and that puts me at 38,400 (19.22 TON) with 8 of them for a 35 TON lowboy. My dozer alone weighs that. Humm.

Hello everyone! I found a good buy on some used Michelin 255/80/R22.5 XRV tires with 85% or better tread life. My question is, they are X"RV" so would they be safe to run on a 35 ton lowboy? I only do short local hauls. I've tried researching just to get even more confused about commercial tires. Your help is appreciated!

Adding hydraulic lines for detach trailer
Deere Mack replied to Deere Mack's topic in Engine and Transmission
That sounds easy enough! But I'm sure I'll figure out the hard way to do it, lol... Looks like I need to add line to the tank and make an small adapter hose for the dump line to use on my exsisting quick connects for the supply line. Remember, I'm wanting to keep the pony motor for back up. Here's a few pic's of what I got to work with. Sorry I dropped the ball on this one, it finally quit raining and I've been full throttle!

Adding hydraulic lines for detach trailer
Deere Mack replied to Deere Mack's topic in Engine and Transmission
I hear ya man! I'd love to come hang, there's a lot of good music going on in B'ham and most of it's coming from my home town . I just don't have the time......who am I kidding, my wife would kill me, I'm on probation...lol -
Adding hydraulic lines for detach trailer
Deere Mack replied to Deere Mack's topic in Engine and Transmission
Thanks for all the great tips! I'll post some pic's of what I got to work with later today. So if I understand, I can use the single dump line I already have and just add a return line to the tank? -
Good Morning! My truck has a wet kit, but I've never used it. As of now it has a single line that was used on a dump trailer. Supposidly everything works? I'd like to add two lines to opperate my detach trailer. I've been using the pony motor that came on the trailer, it's plumbed in with two quick connects. I'd like to keep the pony for back up. I would also like to keep the single line for the dump trailer and just add the two for my detach trailer. My pto looks like it has a spot for two more connections, do I just plumb it in and rock and roll, or is there more to it?

Once I got the right grommets they went in just fine. Lesson: If your trailer came with Grote lights/grommets, you at the very least have to have the Grote rubber grommets if you replace any at all.
-
I now know what you mean by grote! The other grommets will not work!
-
I'm having trouble installing the grommets and lights without breaking them....... They are a little different than what I had, they have a raised lip on the outside of the frame. I can get my 4" rubber grommets in but not the light and I can't even get the 2.5" grommets in period! Used a little oil with no luck. Any tips or tricks here would be appreciated. I get all the wiring done and can't even get the damn lights in! By the way BBIGRIG, I now have a junction box at the end of my Fontaine trailer Thanks for the eye opener!
-
Yup, I'm married to a Fontaine too. I'm hoping the solder job will help my troubles. The new LED's I got seem to have a better conneciton too.
-
BBIGRIG, I appreciate your reply and help! Was trying to get this done before Monday hit. I just got confused thinking that the turn light would also serve as a brake light when not in used as turn signal. No junction boxes on my trailer, "was" a bunch of mangled patched up wires from the previous owner. Cut it all out, replaced all pig tails & groumets, soldered and heat shrink all connections and replaced all the lights with LED's. This is a lowboy truck with a detach, so I added two led strobes in the grill and two LED strobes on the rear too. Now hopefully these nuts pulling out in front of me will see me coming and back off! Thanks!
-
heres my wire diagram. I may be wrong, maybe my outside turn doesn't serve as a brake light too?
-
Hello, I've started installing new LED's on my trailer and I've gotten stumped . I've got 4 tail lights, two each side, all serve as lamp and brake then one each side is a turn also. My question, the one with turn, how do I wire it for stop too? If I splice it into the stop wire wouldn't it bleed over to both lights and make them both blink? Help!!! I cut it all loose before looking didn't think it would be that big of deal......My pig tail has three wires, one for ground, one for lamp and one for blinker or stop. Where does the stop go here? the only way I see is to use the ground wire for stop??? CONFUSED YET?

Got the rod from OEM replacement parts www.oemreplaceme.com . Great to do business with! Good luck with your project Paul!
-
Where to get replacement rods that don't need machining, anyone?
-
Ok, got the kits from H&D, good to do business with! Now I'm looking for a resource on the rods. I've got one that's worn/damaged enough that I'd rather replace it than re-chrome. Any one know of a good place to look for a new cylinder rod?
-
Thank you, I'll give em a try!
-
Not trying to go the cheap way out, to much trouble to tear down four cylinders and go cheap. I feel the same way about certain things with Deere, but there is almost a $1k difference between hercules and deere for all four kits. I've had several mechanics, including my deere field mechanic say the hercules is just as good if not better in seal kits. But there no good if there not available! Just got a lead on these guys http://www.hddistributors.com Fingers crossed!

Good evening! I'm in the middle of rebuilding all the cylinders on a Deere 200C LC (yellow Hitachi with Deere stickers) and my mechanic only orders direct from Herculie's and the kits are 2 weeks on back order (give or take, go figure). I'm curious of a retailer that might have them in stock or another brand that would be as good or better, so I want have to spend twice the money at Deere. Any tips on a good online retailer and other brands will be a huge help! Thanks!
