So here is the outcome from the code compliance officer who was kind enough to help me with this issue. Due to the fact that I was able to provide a copy of the registration showing that it is registered as an antique vehicle and not a commercial vehicle and I did provide them with the sections...

Code enforcement picked up all the paperwork I had for them this morning. As soon as I hear something back from them I will post the results.

You're welcome. Yeah most of those if you can find them from what I have seen aren't in the best shape. Mine was in kind od rough shape when I got it. Took some time but she is definitly in much better shape then the one you found. They are nice trucks if it is something you are looking for.

Looks a lot like the M52A2 I have. Mine is a 5 ton tractor with the LDS-465-1A motor in it also. It should have a spot to mount the air cleaner on the passenger side fender. As far as the levers though I'm not 100% sure. Mine only has two. One for the transfer case and one for the parking...

I was kind of thinking that too.

I have a fenced in back yard so I can look at putting it there if it fits between my side fence and house. If not, I will have to look at building a new fence on the other side of my house. It is definitely wide enough there, just no gate to drive through. I plan on talking to the enforcement...

So I will find out more in the next couple of days, but doing some research I may have just found the loop hole for those of us in Texas with the problem of parking out 5 Tons at our homes. The following comes from the Texas Statutes... TRANSPORTATION CODE TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC...

I'm also trying to figure out what the switch labeled WARNING is for. It is on the bottom of the dash to the left of the steering wheel.

They quit working again. I tried hooking up a spare flasher relay that I had and unless that one is bad too which is always a possibility. I went around and checked all the connections and everything looked good. I'm going to have to start checking components next. That's the last thing I...

Today I fixed my turn signal issue. Turns out it was just a loose connection. Took it out for an afternoon drive and ended up driving it to work.

If I knew how I would definitly do it.

That's the way to go. Best of both worlds!! Too bad I never thought of that. Lol

It may be, but I have seen some mods get on people about it. Better to be safe than sorry.

I'm in that situation right now. I'm going to be talking to the Code Enforcement Officer who wrote my violation notice tomorrow. He seemed very easy to work with and gave me some possible (although not really practical) options to get around it and is going to help see if having it registered...

Be careful about posting about CL ad's. One of the rules is not to post current CL, eBay, etc ads on here unless it is your own. Not my rules, I just have to follow them like everyone else. Not trying to be a jerk or anything. I don't want anyone getting in trouble or getting banned.

Data plate shows 22,150 pounds empty. Then add the weight for carrying capacity. Mine is registered with a gross weight of 32,000 pounds. Im sure they probably would. **** if it's a slow day they may do it just to check out your truck.

The type of trash truck that goes through this area is definitely heavier. Where I work we have a DOT certified and calibrated scale and the only way in and out is through the scale. When they come through they typically weight 42,000 pounds or a little more. When I registered my 5 ton the...

I'm sure you are right. I think I know who it was due to the speed at which code enforcement showed up. The truck wasn't at the house any this past Friday which is when I got the truck, Saturday and Sunday Code Enforcement isn't open and Monday was a holiday so they weren't open then either...

Different states have different classifications for licenses. For example a class B in Texas is: Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or more and any such vehicle towing a vehicle with a GVWR that does not exceed 10,000 pounds or a farm trailer with a GVWR that does not exceed...

Me too. It is very annoying and very stupid. Some people just have nothing better to do than complain about others though. That's what started this whole mess for me.
