Jhooah. I have downloaded the -10 manual but not the -20. In reality though, do you know what the 5T has against the mule (even though they are super cool and look fun), the 5T is street legal. Thanks for the offer on your friend mule but i will have to pass. You probably could convert the mule...

Fist off, I do know the thing isn't a mule, I would have been all over it of it was. I am more use to gas vehicles but the time has been due for me to start learning about diesels. Don't worry, I catch on quick and I love researching items so it will be interesting. Ok, now I know how diesels...

Sorry guys that it has been a while since I have posted. I don't officially own it but the owner has given me the green light to start fixing it up. Before I try starting it up, I would like to go through the carbs to make sure they aren't all gummed up (I am familiar with gas carbs gumming but...

Hey Recovry4x4. When is the rally for 2015? I can't make it this year even if it hasn't past because these next few months are all messed up.

Wow, sorry guys I didn't see all the responses. First off, "You can buy a M936 for far less than you can restore that wrecker." I do know I can buy the M936 for far less but like I stated previously, it is also the history and the story behind the vehicle, in this case the wrecker. Second, just...

****. I guess I will start looking in the direction of the M715. It seems like it is a small project, like repainting the truck, but I have only driven by it.

Yes, well I was just thinking, the major problem is the crane along with all the hydraulics. If I took the crane off of it, could I convert the wrecker to a flat bed temporarily and then work on the crane bit by bit? I will still pay the amount of money but it is much more manageable because it...

Man I am torn between this. The only reason why I wanted one of the wreckers is because this was right here and I believed and I still do, that I could fix it up. But if I hadn't know about it or seen it, I probably would have looked in the direction of a M715 that I saw. I will figure something...

So what would be the price of "...less than scrap value..."? I mean it is a shame and again, I don't want to see a veteran get scrapped but like you said, it will suck in more that it will ever give me back.

Hey Guys. Um, I found out today that the PTO shaft from the engine to the crane is shot. I don't know what happened or how bad it is. Is this a major problem and could this be the reason why the hydraulics aren't connected to the boom?

Yes Sir.i think I have the perfect opportunity coming up within the next couple of weeks. Edit: Sorry guys. It may seem like a long time but I want this to go off perfectly and wait for the perfect timing (even though the wrecker is everything but that).

Yep, sorry. I completely forgot about that.

Wow, thanks for all the info jhooah. I am adding stuff to a list I want to check this time around, like the chassis, engine, now gas tank, tool box, and many other items. If you were to through out a number, how much would it cost to replace the hydraulic hoses. I am just curious and seeing what...

Yes, and I will have a nice can of wasp killer when I do.

Ok thanks jeepsinker. Well the nest wasn't in the cab because I have been inside so many times and they haven't swarmed at me. I don't know where they would be. Hopefully not the tool bin.
