I have spent over a year developing an interactive self-guided diagnostic process for use by technicians when diagnosing and repairing hydraulic and/or electrical issues particularly as relates to ground speed oriented salt distribution systems used by entities responsible for keeping our roadways clear of snow & ice.  Hopefully, this process will reduce stress on technician by providing a logical and easy to follow diagnostic process allowing return of the snow & ice truck back into service quickly.  This diagnostic guide can be accessed at the link listed below.  There are no password or log-in requirements. You are welcome to review and evaluate the guide at your convenience.  You must use the arrow button on each screen for navigation as the guide utilizes many hyperlinks.

Jax Snowplow Grease used by many northern agencies

Truck & Trailer Specialties, Boyne Falls store, has several customers that use Jax Snowplow grease for lubricating Husting hitches.  The active lubricating ingredients in this product are:  molybdenum disulfide and graphite which are both excellent for lubricating  metal against metal sliding surfaces which is exactly the application when one is using a plow on a husting plow hitch.  Moly is more robust than graphite and tends to hang around longer.  This product is available in aerosol  can and many customers carry a can along with them on their snow plow routes and reapply occasionally.  It is also great for lubricating blade circles on both plow truck and graders, plus blade side shifts on graders, any other place where there are metal to metal sliding surfaces.
