    Help starting 5 ton in DC for $100 cash

    The motor is too cold for the amount of juice you have in the batteries. If you have access to electric, you could try to put some heaters on the engine. I've used small ceramic heaters and heat guns pointed at the head(s), block, or intake. I suspect you still don't have enough juice in the...

    Holland Michigan Inspection Help

    NON-Military but could use some help and don't really know where else to turn. I need someone to take a look at a mini-excavator in Holland Michigan if possible. PM me if you think you can whether you know your way around these machines or not. I'll PM more details if someone can help. I can...

    Selling in the Forums

    There is also a "random classified ads" blurp on the right side of the home screen. So when clicking, it takes you to the classified section. Perhaps people are posting classifieds in the forums to get more exposure knowing that there are many members who don't surf the actual classifieds...

    new member from williamsport pa

    I'm down here in York and have, or will have very soon, a deuce to sell. I've had it for a couple of years. It's a former PA national guard truck, a plain jane though, no winch, no heat. But the best runner I've got. Soft top too. I lost some storage and need to sell unfortunately. It has...

    Something to Move a Dozer with

    I pull my JD 350 and mini exc. around on a civilian tag along behind a deuce. It's a smaller tag with electric brakes. I wanted electric because of the weak deuce system. If the deuce brakes fail, I still have electric in the trailer. I normally pull it with the deuce, but now have a 5 ton...

    M1101 - LTT-HC Trailer Recovery

    Silver Eagle MFG Corp. It's not the LTT-FE it's just the LTT-F. Without the plates on the deck. So just the frame. I wish it was the FE. Now that I've spent more time with it, I've come to the conclusion that it's never been used. The pressure washer that was mounted on it was removed for...

    M1101 - LTT-HC Trailer Recovery

    Picked up my M1101-HC chassis trailer today from Mechanicsburg with the M1008. Smooth sailing. Brand new HMMVEE tires. Mold nubbies still on the TREAD much less the sidewall. Perfect condition. Data plate on the one fender indicates it was previously the proud supporter of a steam pressure...

    m105a2 woodshop trailer

    I don't feel so bad now. Were the boxes empty? Probably. Mine was complete with saw and everything. Boxes were full of stuff. Bows and tarp too. If anybody is interested in one of these trailers complete, let me know. It needs to go to a good home. Eco

    m105a2 woodshop trailer

    I've got one of these with the saw and everything. I've been trying to sell it. GL screwed me big time and I have way too much into it, but it needs to go to someone who will restore it or use it. It's just sitting in a field now.

    GL auctions ending Nov. 5th 2009

    I have a specific need for it. Didn't even know it was up. I saw the one at Meade, but then found this one. One at Meade appeared to be a USMC trailer. This one I don't think is.

    M185A3 van body electrics

    Tried everything, did the research, and read the TM's. Nothing works. No lights, no fans, nothing. Any thoughts? Are these things supposed to run on 24v from the truck or plugged in from something else? I'm lost. Outside, I don't see how this thing is getting 24v from the batteries. I...

    Hard Starting & Idle

    Got a M185A3 that is very hard to start. Temp doesn't matter. Have to mash the pedal to get it to fire off. Once running, it does ok. However, I have to give it some juice to start out or the RPM's drop. All my other trucks I can put in 1st low and let the clutch out and they will idle...

    Which is the most trouble free engine?

    Is it safe to run a 5 ton with the 250 in it at 55 stock though? I like my 5 tons, but 52 is slow.

    HELP M35A3 TRUCK 510 miles from home

    You would have to pull the drive shafts and the axles so nothing in the differential is spinning. If it's the axle seal, then you are loosing differential oil. Might have to do more diagnosing so others can weigh in. Better wait for the experts to chime in though.

    Deuce look over by more experienced eyes

    Oh, No, not no. 2 injector! I see what you mean. Odd that it's out. Got to ask yourself why it's like that and plan accordingly. No.2 is not easy as it's behind the oil filters. The steel fuel line does not bend easily either so you may have to loosen the other end of the line at the IP...
