The hoist is built by Rugby I think, off of an old GMC single axle dump that had a Gvw 35000. As far as maxing out the hoist, I've had over 10 yards of 6 inch minus on it and no problems dumping. The hoist sub frame is only 10 feet so I use cribbing blocks on top of the truck frame to support...
How does she handle a load? Now I want to do this to my m931. Steal the hydraulics and pto from my other 925. Switch between a dump and a tractor, and I'll have a wet kit if I ever get a dump trailer or a lowboy. Never seen a single axle 4x4 tractor yet.
I didn't mess with the washer. I simply removed the arm that makes contact with the washer on that air valve by loosening the Allen head screw that holds it on, and the little arm pops right off. Then I can decide when I want the front axle engaged whether in high or low range with the dash switch.
I was wondering what happened to those trucks. Looks awesome. Would have been nice to win one of those trucks. Just got a little expensive for my tastes.
