Got my first big bolt yesterday, a 1952 grain truck with dump bed. Not sure of if it's 1 1/2 or 2 ton. I will research that once im done here. Ok so I got it running today and started playing with things, has no brakes yet but is well chocked in the driveway. I tried to see if the bed would raise and pulled the lever up and heard a grinding noise, figured well I need to push in the clutch. Nothing happens .PTO won't engage.......move on to the next thing.yesterday when it was delivered right in the middle of the driveway( wife loved that) I used the starter to move it over to my side of the driveway. In theory that means the clutch was engaging correct?? So now after trying to operate the bed the clutch won't engage to move the truck . My thoughts are something is stuck from trying to engage PTO and therefore clutch won't engage.Or 2 speed axle isnt working but driveshaft is not turning either so tht would tell me something in trans is wrong. Any advise is greatly appreciated.
While I'm at it, where do I go for big bolt brake parts?
