We recently installed a ring mount on my buddies M813. That truck has a hood big as a KW. I went past where he has it parked and saw he has a novel way to open and close it. He ran length of heavy cloths line through the hold down handles in the front and looped it to a pulley he rigged to...

I have a five ton with a muffler installed in the pipe above the fender and it fits just between the mirror brackets/ on the end, whoever did the mod cut and re welded the standard deuce end on it. Looks okay and I actualln never noticed it since I bought it as a non runner. When I got it...

I'm happy to say I scored one of these hitches from Randy and I just have to figure out what I am going to mount it to. It is a beautiful piece of enginiering The best part is, it is removeable so when you drag a trailer to a show, the whole thing comes off to be stowed away and you don't...

Here goes again, sure wish I was better at this posting stuff. Hey poppabear, Yes, the Untouchable is back together and running strong. We started it up and took it out for a spin friday moning. Runs like a raped ape. Hit 70 mph and pulled the hills in high gear. I got so excited I wanted to...

Gentlemen, My nephew has just finished rebuilding the engine in my guntruck and we took it out for a spin. The readings on the fuel pressure were in the range of 50 psi and the boost, read at the intake manifold. It was 30-35 psi while running at 2500 rpm and at 60-65 mph. Jatonka says that...

Axel plug for five ton I think the fording plug under the clutch bell housing is the samd as the axel plug . You don't need it for anything unless you are goiing swimming so give it a try. sorry this reply is so late

Southern yankee, Get in touch with David Doyl and Larry Fiandt. They have a great storehouse of info on guntrucks. As far as building the badest assed guntruck, They were all badassed and all carried bounties on both the trucks and the crews. Those guys all volunteered for the job and were...

I've been busy lately, so I haven't been able to keep you guys up to date. We did pull the radiator and the left fron fender. The radiator had to be sent out to have all the seams on the shroud welded. as the vibrations have loosened all the soldered joints. It also had a leak in a couple...

The dump and the fifth wheel tractor are the same chassis.So it should be dooable.

M62 gets 3mpg but they ride smoothly. Just not too fast.Clean fuel filters new air cleaner and clena plgs charge the batteries and check the brakes. It should give ya 200 miles before you find something to fix.You can get a tower to haul it,but that is generally cheaper than driving and old...

I just stumbled onto this thrread, The busted up govenor housing is very simular to what happened to the Untouchable on the way to Carlise.Very larg hole in the side. we tooke the peices apart and it looks like one of th e shafts on the weights loosende and got hung up on the housing. That is...

I turned the smoke down on my LDSa1 and found I lost a little power but it cleared up a lot of smoke. I will re tune it so iit smokes a little more when we put it back together just to get some of the power back. Secret to getting some more top end out of them is to put a overdrive trans out...

Having been assigned to operate the M62, M543,M543a2, and havin owned a M816, I found that the M62 will lift more weight with the single piston using the boom only but the 543's will pick up more weight using the hoist with the boom already up and extended. Both have excelent push power...

Sorry folks,No Untouchable this year. I blew up the injector pump on the way to the Gathering and JT hauled it north to the farm. We have all the parts but for a couple filters and since it its there and I am here, its gonna take a couple more weeks to bolt it together aslo during the teardown...

When I had a trailer for my deuce, I made a duel system by adding miltary lights welded above the twelve volt lights and added a center light bar benith the standard lights in the rear and extra markers for the sides. I had two power cords One twelve and one twenty four volt. Looked good I...

Just wanted to give a shortend AAR for this years Gathering. The Untouchable almost made it under its own power untill we got to Indiantown Gap Pa. We were rolling along when the engine gave a litltle hickup then a loud bang and it lost all power whe the engine quit. We brought it to a safe stop...

Okay Yohan, Here is the skinny on how the Jersey crew put the armour on Satans lil Angel. We decided on 5/16 plate steel. original steel used in country was hardend 3/8 steel. We used the 5/16 th because of weight concerns and available funds at the time. and the Guy at the yard where we bught...
