    Dump to tractor conversion guide

    My M931A2 Tractor is set up with the side rails on the frame that the 5th wheel bolts onto. I'd like to get a lower profile 5th wheel if possible that I may be able to nest under a bed so I could have the option of craning the bed off quick and exposing the 5th wheel. We'll see...it may end up...

    Snow plow setup

    I bought a gas REO on time that had a plow mount on it and in the above pics there that lower front brace runs under the axle...these knuckleheads welded it DIRECTLY to the axle and couldn't figure out why it kept breaking loose. Eventually they broke the short axleshaft (like I said...

    M939 transfer case air lines installed wrong

    After all this BS with these trucks breaking the t-cases, learning that when they're put into low range they AUTOMATICALLY (via tripped air solenoid) bring in the front axle, AND Bolkbich's finding of multiple trucks with the plumbing wrong on the T-case I had to do something on my M931A2. I...

    why is the 5 ton front wheel further up?

    18,000...awesome! :) From what I recall they also use the five ton sheet metal on the ten tons but the axle is centered on them.

    what do ya know about driving a crane?

    Most of the cranes worth the weight will have a limit stop hanging at the end of the stock capturing the cable so that when the hook reaches it the function will stop mast extension or cable in. Also don't forget about line parts when looking at the capacity for the crane. It may only be 4 ton...

    After losing a wheel and almost my life...

    On my trip back from TTC my GMC duramax truck started bumping around more than normal (pintle hook...you know) so I pulled over to see that three of eight left rear studs had broken off and the other five lug nuts were only on by a couple of threads. The other side were loose too. I went up to...

    Suggestions on Large Tire Balancing...???

    I'm running Dynabead ceramic beads in my XM-47's on my Unimog. They were never balanced by the previous owner and had slight wear spots but still at 80% tread. Michelin gets between $1,100 - $1,300 PER TIRE for these so I invested in the Dynabeads. There's a calculator on their website for...

    why is the 5 ton front wheel further up?

    I *think* those axles are rated at like 11,000lbs so there a chance it may just be neglect from lack of maintenance.

    hydraulic power steering kit

    Anyone? Why are they talking about the 939 trucks? Are they getting parts there? It sorta sounds like they're spamming the add.

    WMO for home heating

    A buddy of mine is an HVAC guy and totally heats his massive shop's radiant heat system with a boiler firing on WMO. It took him some trial and error but he's got it set now. Nice working on something with a warm cement slab under ya.
