I am out of work for a few days now. I fell off my 5 ton and broke my right heel. So everyone just be careful. This so far has been a very painful experience. And probably costly depending on how long I am outta work. All because I didn't watch where I put my foot. But it could have been worse...
I recently came acquired a complete winch with the bumper and extensions from a M35a2( I think anyway). Someone cut it off the truck with a torch the pieces of the frame are still bolted to the extensions. I have no PTO, just a small piece of shaft that was also cut. I need a bumper on my M818...
I found some turn signal lamps that I had put up. I have been looking at the lolli pop lights but I just like the look, and I dont want anything on top of the fenders. So I got the idea to put the turn signals on the back of the fenders. I think it will really be help in showing a lane change or...
I have been trying to run WMO in my M818. It runs fine, other than the slight haze of smoke. But I did find that the factory fuel system cant pump the thick oil. So I pulled the fuel pump out of my M35a2 and put it in my M818s drivers side fuel tank. I dont use the left side so Im not gonna...
I have been doing a lot of reading about how people would make more power out of these old engines. And I came across a few talking about headers. I am thinking about building me one for my M818. I looked at superchargers, but it is really hard to find one that would fit the engine. I dont...
I am looking to put either 22.5 or 24.5 wheels on my M818, at least on the front for now. I have searched for days and cant seem to get a set answer. What size in 22.5 or 24.5 would match up to the 11x20 NDTs in the back. Im just looking for a tire and wheel combo that is just easier to come by...
I went and picked up a M818 this afternoon. I traded a 1951 Plymouth rust bucket and $2500 for it. They threw in 2 new batteries, it has decent tires, and a hard top. Now the bad, it has a fueling problem. Once up to speed it runs fine to me, but it idles really rough. When you accelerate from a...
I am looking at a xm813 5 ton cargo truck that is for sale in Waldo, Fl. Is there anyone near there that could go and check it over and see if it a decent truck.
I have a man trying to sell me two 5 tons. One is a M818 and the other is M52a2. Both need roofs. The 818 needs a hood and lights and the winch needs some stuff, the clutch also needs to be replaced. He has a new clutch. Both need tires. The 52a2 needs some minor body work other than the roof...
I friend out mine near gave me a semi trailer and my deuce is not ready yet to move it. I need it moved about ten miles. The reason a OTR semi cant do it is that I will need to bring it down my ditch. I dont think it will be any problem for a 5 ton tractor or bigger. Is their near me that could...
I will be headed up to North Carolina from South west Georgia this weekend with a empty trailer. I will be bringing back some tires Monday but may have some room on the ride back.
This weekend im headed to the tampa fl area for a few days. I will have the back of my dually empty on the ride down. Does any one needs anything moved.
Any chance any one could save me a trip and help me get 6 14.5r20 tires mounted in m35a2 wheels from North Carolina to any where close to south west Georgia?
I have a civi 6.2 that I am building up to put in a 1969 C 50 tow truck. My question is has any one ever tried to put a C turbo off a m35a2 on a 6.2. I figure that the turbo makes relative low boost so it may work. And I think it would sound awesome.
I just had another 3053a quit on me in my m35a2. I have a 1969 C50 with a NP540 5 speed that I believe is a over drive. It looks as if it would be a simple swap. It looks to have a small u joint on the out put. It looks to be a 1410 u joint. It has a rear facing pto which I want. I has a...
In 5th gear only it seems, I am starting to hear a loud tapping from the transmission. I is loudest under hard throttle and when engine braking. Any ideas?
