Nice! Andy

Pete, Thanks! Enjoy the kit, and nice truck! And, for everyone else, as the seller, Pete was great to deal with and it was a pleasant transaction. Andy

Yes, it's much quieter. The relocated stack and the hood insulation make it rather pleasurable to drive, at least compared to an M818. Andy

So you're the one who outbid me! :beer: Congrats, and enjoy the truck! Andy

My version would be: 1. Pick up deuce brake drum and carry across yard. 2. Pick up 5 ton brake drum and carry across yard. 3. Buy a forklift and never carry anything heavy again. Andy

Hobart is now owned by Miller (which is owned by another large company). Anyway, the Miller website has a manual download section that is fairly complete. I couldn't see a model number on the tags, but you may be able to do a search and find a manual and specs on the welder (or something...

I prefer the 2 separate gauges. It's much easier to glance down at the tachometer and determine if I need to shift when you have only one gauge to focus on. I ignore the speedometer, as I doubt I'll ever get a speeding ticket in any of my trucks. Andy

Possibly 14.00 x 20's (off of a bridge truck) squeezed on M35 wheels. Andy

Up a 3% grade over a distance of 2 miles? It's easy compared to what an M818 would be like (20mph, or less), but 500 hp/1800 ft lbs would be better. Andy

On 10 November this year, I won a GL auction for a mobile shop trailer (SGPRSMD) in Ft Leonard Wood, MO. Payment was made, EUC cleared, blah blah blah.. Anyway, Friday, 16 Dec, a friend (Hairba11) and I drove down to pick it up. I took one on my M915's to get it. All in all, it was a smooth...

When I flat towed 2 of them, I removed both driveshafts. If towing w/ the front in the air, then I would only remove the rear driveshaft. I can't comment on the transmission question, as I am still a novice w/ these trucks. Andy

Mud, A very nice job with the workmanship as well as the write-up! Thanks, Andy

They'll fit an M915 just fine. Andy

And I'll bet she was even more pissed when the new engineer came up with an idea that saved the company 5-6 figures in production costs.... Andy

Tim, Speaking from personal experience, sell the M818 and buy an M931. These trucks are exponentially better then the M818's (I have 4 M818's and 3 M931's). They drive better, they're quieter in the cab, the transmission is GREAT, and overall are better trucks. Oh, and nearly all of them have...

Did those come out of Jeff City, MO last year? Andy

Hairba11 and I have installed a handfull of things on one of my M915A1's, one of which is a toolbox behind the cab. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-mods-hot-rodding/75340-m915-battery-relocation-kit-toolbox-mod.html Andy

I'll up it to $10, but I need it delivered to St. Louis. :beer: Andy

James, For trucks in the Southeast I've used Stanley Crawford, a Landstar agent (he's a member here, but I don't know what his user name is). Last time I used him it was for an M920 from SC to StL. Used an RGN and he took care of me. His phone is 757-859-6575, email is...

WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D Andy
