Hi all, Would anybody know where I can get manuals and brake parts for my Michigan 55III? I've been procrastinating for about 5 years on getting the brakes working and finding manuals for this machine! I think it needs wheel cylinder's and shoes. I replaced the air vavle back when I bought it but that wasn't the problem. Thanks Jeff S

I have the same trouble with my 75C.Try doepkerindustrial.com they have a large selection.

Thanks Blaster, I'll give em a try. I really haven't did a thing other engine tune up's and fluid changes to this machine so I don't know where to get parts or if there even available anymore! It's mid - late 70's era. I was told it's a 79 but i have no clue if that's right! Thanks again, Jeff

Call your local Volvo dealer, up here they go by Strongco. Give them the serial number and they will give you all the nformation on your machine

you could also try associated power train. They are the self proclaimed "Michigan experts" and should have what you need.

Bigstevex4, Hey thanks for the info. Beleive it or not, I don't know of any good drive train outfit's here or in Buffalo, NY anymore but, then again I really haven't looked in awhile either. Does the air compressor get oiled by the engine oil? I'm gettin alot of oil in the air tank. Bad rings in the compressor ya think? Thanks again for the help! Jeff
