    Changing a tire on a 5 ton

    I can change a tire on a standard cargo 5 ton with my 3 ton floor jack. As mentioned keep the jack as close to the tire as possible. I use a 12 ton bottle jack for my wrecker though.

    932 fuel tank removal

    I think you're right, that's how the single tank 5 tons are.

    5 ton window removal problem

    There are two little brackets at the bottom of the window that prevent it from coming out of the door. They have two small screws in each one.

    i need a good trick to remove studs from hub of m35a2

    I've done it literally a hundred times, I use a front lug nut and thread it on the stud so it is flush with the end of the stud. That way you hit the top of the stud and the nut equally. Make sure you hit it straight, I've had some bend if they were in there tight.

    5ton sf-97 question

    It depends on the state, some get the Florida title and some get the SF97. I don't think you get a choice.

    5ton sf-97 question

    SF97s are not transferable he would have to title it first then sell it/transfer it to you. Not sure on changing the year.

    I though I read when that is happening it means the seals are bad on the air actuator on the t-case.

    5 ton axles ratio

    Which way are you looking to go? More freeway friendly or lower gears for off road use? The 6.44's are pretty standard, there are some lower gears but they are very rare, something like 8 to 1 and 10 to 1 but you really wouldn't want to try to find 3 sets and swap them out if they are going into...

    Are Runflats worth trying to save???

    I can tell you that I gave up trying to get mine out in one piece. I ended up using a chainsaw from the inside of the run flat and a sawzall from the top side of the run flat and I cut them apart then pulled them out with a chain.

    Possibility of using the winch hydraulics to run bed hoist.

    Has anyone done this? I have a 923 with all the winch controls but no winch and thought a dump bed would be a great use of these unused hydraulics.

    M931 as a farm semi?

    Hey Adam, ya that's Andy's place he is a good guy to deal with. Yes that was me you got the motor from too. If you go the 931 route I have one I will sell reasonably, I had big plans for it but I never followed through on it so I will be selling it.

    Bent drive shaft. Anybody know the RPM's?

    Are you running a one piece shaft that you lengthened from a stock one or are you running a hanger bearing. I'm guessing your wheelbase is longer so I was just curious. It should be able to handle any RPM's your deuce can throw at it. We run deuce driveshafts in our mud truck and our motors spin...
