Welcome. When you go to get it be prepared to give the axles, etc. oil. Not saying they will be drained. Haven't dealt with that base. Better to be prepared than not. How you getting it home?
Hey Bjorn, The data plate on my M52A2 wo/w has it listed as 17,410 empty. Any ideas on that?
Still don't have that hydraulic head changed, weather, not enough hours in a day.
Just as I said and Clinto agrees. I'd drive it. Plus from where it's at and where it's going that's like 99% four-lane driving. Let's not overlook that not counting commercial trucks almost every other vehicle out there will try to avoid you. The "imtimidation factor".
Actually they do. I bought a van your way earlier this year and brought it back on a transfer plate. However what you need is one from Michigan. That is where it is coming from. Some states the plate is good for a few days, some a couple weeks, some a month. It's purpose is just to...
I'd drive it. Allot cheaper. Just like driving a pickup, just bigger. Does it have plates, or can you get a transfer(paper)plate? Get a list of who's in between. You have problems give a call. I'm sure others would give a hand. Not much could break on it that I don't have here on one of...
RE: Re: RE: Manufacture Dates
David, I was wondering. The one truck I gave you info on, the REO M109. The only thing that is 1952 is the dash. Other than that it is identical to another one I have that is a 1974 M109A3. What would you call that? A major rebuild?
Take ya right there. You can meet Tom, Shawn, or maybe Chaz. While we're there might as well stop by Saturn. Go on up the road and get a pic next to the M60 at the VFW. For the price of fuel and some food I can get it up here and then some. From my place it's 100 miles west on I-86 to I-90...
One parts truck I have has the 1"x2" stringers. Three of them, one centered, then with the other two splitting the differenceon each side of center. The wood has its corners smoothed. They used carriage bolts so nothing but a little hump sticks above the wood.
It's nice having a 5 ton eh. After playing with these trucks for who knows how many years I finally got a 5 ton a few weeks ago. Still don't have it running yet. Not enough hours in the day to do what I want. Nice looking truck. Glad you got it.
DOT 3 is what I always used. Since you don't know what someone might have in there to play it safe I would flush the system out completely with DOT 3. Then you know what's there.
