Greetings, Does any one know where I can find the overall deminisions for my truck? I am not able to get to my green beast and I have to have it trucked to my new location by June. Thanks

Thanks again to all for the welcome and info. Matts article is very informative and helpful. My 5 ton would qualify for the collector truck non com. tags as it is a 1972 model and the price is right for that limited use tag. However with that tag it still could be a "side of the highway...

Thanks to all for the welcome and info!! I am up to my eyeballs getting the new house set up and squared away, but eagerly await the day that I can take a break and enjoy my old green Iron. Right now the big beast is still down south east in Delaware at my father in laws house. It should be...

Thanks for the welcome! Good to know there are SS around. I would love to hook up at the next meeting. Any info on tagging BigHoss out here? Am i in for an expensive regulated nightmare to run the beast around?

Greetings, I have a M814 and just moved to Co. I was wondering how many members are in the area (SW denver) and what it takes to tag the 5 ton in park county. Thanks.

Thanks, what about tourque specs on the nuts? Is there a tm on this?

Ok checked the site for any posts on detailed wheel bearings info with no luck. Are the rears of the 814 oil lubed bearings and the fronts greased? In my years working on late model heavyhaul trucks in northern AK. the rear bearings get lubed with the diff. oil and some of the earlier trucks...

LOL...sizzlechest, Sasquatch would be Pop. He is an amazing fabricator/welder/mech. In his years he has fixed almost everything on the planet that burns oil or made of steel. My wife calls him Silverback...and I believe his skin is tougher than a leather welding jacket, hence the 3 jackets...

Got back from a trip and wife had a 5-ton winch in the back of the truck, SWEET!!! She hacked in my comp. and found the info to a S.S member and picked it up. Dave had everything all in order for her with all bits and pieces. Total time was about 2 days. Gathered up all new bolts and engine...

Hey Guys, Thanks for some good advice. Here are some more specifics as to what and where I am with this journey. I would with out a doubt have loved to purchased one on the west coast...simply could not find an 814 out there, and the people I got in touch with told me "good luck on finding one...

I will be driving my 814 from De. to Oregon at the end of the summer, I am looking for any and all advice concerning pm checks, tips, and tricks. This is my first big GREEN machine, so I want to make sure that I dont miss anything and have a Safe run! Also I will post my route later as I...

I was doing some pm stuff and realized I had a stuck drivers side motor. I removed motor/pump and realized the red button was sticking and not reversing direction. I removed end cap/valve and squirted some rubber safe lube in the air holes....Whammo now she is froze up real good. Does anybody...

Hey J, how much do you sell the conversion for and do you have one for the fuel filter?

Any one know where I can locate a cargo cover for an 800 series 5-ton. I am in De. for the summer?

Hey All, Thanks for the warm welcome. Its guys like you that make it all worthwhile! MyothersanM1- the troopseats were on BigHoss when I bought him, 3 are the newer fiberglass ones and 1 is old wood kind. Not sure what they came off but they dont really work as seats...legs are too long so when...
