I recently acquired a (I think) 42' 1 1/2 ton Dump Truck.
Vin: 2MS0420216
Engine: BFC42I858
Trans: 736944
Got it home. Rebuilt the Rotenchestor,flushed radiator,replaced thermostat,oiled her up (she leaks from every orifice) then took her on a victory cruise.
Then the inevitable occurred,multiple tire failures.
Now looking for used 20" in Central California. They want more for one tire than I paid for the truck.
Second issue is the oil leakage. My girlfriend calls it the Exxon Valdez. I am assuming that this particular
engine is a 216? And parts are available? What I cant seem to iron out is the transmission.Its #736944 left side PTO with output yoke dia. of 1.750 and PTO shaft of .750 oil pours out as fast as I pour it in. Any help in either direction would be most appreciated.
OH! buy the way there is this cool square hatch cut out
of roof on passenger side for what? A guy with a machine gun ?
Thanks Derek
