The mounts are not the same. The second picture and third pictures are examples of the different mounts. The bolt pattern is several inches different. Not sure if the pintle sets lower in either mount. I would doubt it. But I know the pattern, size and bolts are different for the large and small...

Fasttruck, in reference to your images, the first mounting plate is the one i need (the first image). The larger one has 2 ribs running up and down from above the trailer plug hole down to the pintle and is about 2 or 3 inches taller. Even the bolts for the larger mount are bigger. The old...

Spoke to White Owl again today, they don't have the hitch I need for my M51a2. He is still saying he is only aware of one hitch. I looked through several images of 5 tons. There are 2 styles, but I can't figure out why one 5 ton has the smaller hitch and other 5 tons have the longer hitch...

White Owl is surprised the hitch didn't fit. He said he thought their was only one hitch for the 5 tons. Looks like I'll be driving that 2 hour trip to return it.

I don't know what happened to the flashers, but the next morning they started back working like they should and have since. Still trying to track down why the lights are not working with the brakes. Side note, I got several items from White Owl a couple of weeks ago. Just installed the pto...

Got an electrical issue. Turn signal was flashing. Now it will just flash once and stay off. Any help would be appreciated.

Trying to also figure out what top I want/can find. Got a number for a company that makes the canvas top, haven't been able to find a vinyl top. Don't think I want a hard top. Anyone with their own pros and cons. Thanks guys.

Thanks Fasttruck. I got the plugs out and all the water with a little bit of oil. Tried cleaning it out with kerosene and rotated the input shaft. Drained and put a few quarts of straight 30 oil. Going to leave that in there until I can get the drum lock to move. Any suggestions on moving...

Does anyone know the Allen wrench size for the plugs on the 5ton winch? The drum lock and in out lever will not move. Turned the input on the winch and it sounded rough, then water started coming out. Plan to try and flush it a few times. Really don't want to have to pull the winch but it's...

Spent most of the day working on the M51a2. Changed fuel filters to wix 33540. Changed oil filter and oil, using napa 1133 and 15w40 Supertech heavy duty with Lucas zinc additive. Did get what looks to be a ball from a bearing and a piece of metal from the drain plugs. Also got two new...

Thanks for the heads up guys. But I was following the forum's policy, if you can figure it out with the search function don't ask. But for the ones who want to know. The master cylinder was low. I had to go to the rear cylinder to get fluid. I'll have to change the bleeder valves, just...

Anyone had an issue with the throttle return spring. It seems the bolt the spring the attached to is stripped. The bolt pulls out freely, if the spring was attached it would probably fall out. The issue is the spring does not have enough tension now to pull the throttle back all the way...

She has a lot of white smoke, but I hope it clears up. Parts I am looking for: driver side fender panel, passenger side door handle, pto winch drive shaft, rear pintle and mount. I would prefer to buy from a member than a vendor. Looking at getting a oil spin kit from a member, before I...

After a little reading, this weekend I'll check the u-joints, air pressure and go from there. This website is great. I wonder if the no air sound when shifting to first is causing an issue. The Foresty guy said their was a transfer case issue, I have found it yet. Maybe part of the problem.

I have drove the truck a couple of times at low speeds, with no problem. A good amount of smoke but that clears up some. But today I tried going a little fast might got up to 45 maybe and two separates times when I got started back from turning around and in 5th gear the truck started a...

Changed out batteries and the starter worked. Guess those batteries are getting weak. Thanks again Beast M. After several attempts the motor started and kept running. I do have a fuel leak on one of the return lines, I need to replace it. I am going to go through and change out all the...

Thanks Beast M. I've to more batteries at the house on the charger. Will try them tomorrow. Will try and get all batteries tested. They are getting some age on them.

The mesh cable from the block to the (I think it was the frame) looked good. I'll check tomorrow before work and see if I am get 24 volts to the starter. Jumping the solenoid cuts the buzzer off. I believe the switch is working for the starter. The cable from the battery to the starter looks...
