The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts 48 1.5 ton Hydrovac mounting

Yeah, I removed the unit last year...got a new one from Altretta...I forgot how it mounts on the frame because, yep, I didn't take pictures...it is clear which line connects to each port on the hydrovac but I think I misplaced a mounting piece, or two. could someone direct me to a "mounted on frame" image of the unit? No luck in the archives and the manual just shows the unit off the frame...Please, I promise not to remove anything again without pictures...duh...thanks in advance guys and gals...

P.s. This is all I lack from getting the truck on the road, just finishing the brakes, and I have all the parts here in the shop!!!

If you scroll down to the bottom here, you can see what mine came with. It just appears to be a piece of angle iron dolled up that bolts to the frame.

I don't know what they came with from the factory.

Mine has a U shaped angle iron bracket in the front fastened in the manor shown in rustednuts link and an additional piece of strap iron bent in an L and fastend to the back of the HV and then to the frame. The back L bracket just stabilizes the unit a little more so it does not flex on the front bracket alone, it's the front bracket that carries the weight.

If need be I can crawl under the truck tomorrow and shoot a few pix of it mounted in place

Sleeve,

If you can shoot the extra pix, I thank you...

Rustednuts, thank you for the pic as well...

I figured it just needs to be mounted and secure but wanted to make sure and try to put it back as it came off...I know I removed a mount that I have misplaced in the shop...some things don't fit into used coffee cans for keeping in order...

Try this one and look at others before and after

Grigg's mount picture is pretty much the same as mine.

Thanks Grigg...I got stuck at your picture site for awhile looking at all the pictures...interesting that some hydrovacs are mounting inside the frame and some are mounted outside, like mine...
