Glad I could help Dan, I know my kids will have some stories to tell when they get back to school! I had a blast myself, not every day you get to do something like that. Here are a few more pics that I took.

That linkage is for the sprag t-cases

I've got 10 bridge truck wheels if you are interested, I just want the tubes out of them.

Trust me, they are 660 lbs, 500 after you remove the drums and backing plates. Drums are 40 lbs and so are the backing plates with the shoes.

660 lbs

Good point, ya I've got all 6 tires chocked, dash brake on and parking brake on,

Ya that's the heaviest truck I have, not sure how I would get it out of 12 feet of water.

Found another use for my M816. Too hot out today to do any work so I thought I'd let the kids have a little fun in the pond they swim in!

I've done one before and it turned out great but even I might be a little far for you.

Ya check with your local city ordinances, if I remember correctly you can not park a truck with "Y" plates on a city street overnight and of course stay off the parkways or anywhere else you see the "no trucks" signs. I don't know of any state laws regarding restrictions on former military...

I agree, the stock tires are very poor in the mud but with limited horsepower and non-aggressive tread you shouldn't brake anything. The truck in my avatar, now that's a different story.

I would just swap in a Mack instead;)

Welcome to the site!

I've got a lot of deuce stuff too, maybe someone on the trip might need something delivered to help cover fuel costs

Here are a couple pics. The rear output shaft is broke but it goes backwards. Makes finding a parking spot or turning around rather interesting! Probably not a usable body panel on it but seems to run good, at least in reverse!

I'm going to go pick it up today! I'll post some pics when I get back. One question I have (slightly off topic) is if the t-case rear output shaft is broke should the truck still drive assuming the front part is fine? I'm not driving it home, just onto my trailer.

Wow, I guess I thought there would be more similarities to the deuces or other 5 tons. Oh well, I think I might get it and hope for a buyer for the motor and t-case after I get the axles out.

Is there much of a demand for Mack engines? I have done a lot of reading on the older 5 tons and from what I have learned they are a very desirable motor but there are not a lot out there. The reason I ask is I found an M54A1C that is in VERY rough condition outside from being used in the woods...

How do you know what sender you have?

I learned that the hard way a while back, I used to jump my deuces to move them around and one had no batteries in it, well it didn't take long for that alternator to fry. All that voltage built up with nowhere to go will burn out the alternator. If he is near you and needs a replacement shoot...
