    A big welcome to you!!! Man we are growing them fast in Michigan. Bob H he is close to you so go get him! 2.5 ton will be more bang for your buck IMHO and you could always put air steering on it. I have one truck that belonged to the Oscoda fire department.. Glad you found us..

    Do you guys bid on "does not run" trucks?

    auaWhen they do the inspection for the auction. If they hit the key and it does not start they have to put it does not run. They dont mess with jumping them or doing anything to get them started at most yards.. I have purchased many trucks only to fiddle with them check over some major things...

It seems to be the same make as one that came on a tan deuce I bought.. I too will have to mount one on my tractor and check the fit.. BUT.. Well ummm.. The only...

    5 ton dump rebuild parts?

    What model you after? M817 parts are out there but will cost you.. M52's will be a little harder. One thing that seems to be short are good running LDS-465-1A motors.. I think they both share the same dump box.. Fenders and sheetmetal should be easy for either model.. Now 900 series you will...

Make sure you have the correct match or you will get a wrong reading.. maybe check engine temp with lazer thermometer.. It does sound like you might have a stuck thermostat..

    M101A1 vs M116A2 - Need Some Help!

    You can add brakes/axle ,serge brake set up, and different rims to a M101A1 but it would cost you more than the extra shipping cost. Or maybe hold out for a M101A2 in your area? I think Mangus had one for sale in NY ?

    M101A1 vs M116A2 - Need Some Help!

    Go with the A2.. It will sit better with what your towing it with.. No tubes and flaps to worry about. Will pull better at high speeds and you can balance the tires. The serge brakes help greatly even with a empty trailer. Remember they are about 1280lbs empty. You can come up with bows and a...

    M35 Chicago Area to Munising, MI

    Maxim is right.. I have been on some adventures in both 5 tons and M35's in snow with NDT's.. It is a **** tire on snow.. That 350 miles will feel like 1000 in my opinion.. Also without GOOD heat is a issue . The wind blows through the cab of a M35 like the deck of a sail boat.. :-D I would come...

    New Owner with M37 question

    Not trying to be argumentative.. To me the distance between the back of the cab and the hub center looks further. Just a observation.. :-D It could just be the angle of the photo and the flatbed... I attached some pictures of both wheelbases..
