    If you look past the shiny wheels

    Really its a late 40's design. Production started in 1954 I think. Only thing that was changed is the engine. Everything else is the same. (besides a OD gear in the trans and U joints in the front axle The REO series (2 1/5t and 5t) First on the road in 1951, I had a early 1952 m52

    Rewiring 939 Series 5-Ton to Eliminate Electronic Controls

    You have to REMEMBER that a lot of the interlocks on the 900s is NOT for safety but to keep the young and dumb from DESTROYING the truck, just like the control box on the 809s keeps you from trying to start if the truck is running, this makes it hard to roll start unless the the fuel shut off is...

    Scale gun models

    A few would be cool with the proper AP MINE WARNING signage in the front/back yard, outside the shop, rigged with a fireworks flash/bang and either a trip wire or electrically triggered with either a button or a motion sensor, ought to cause a BROWN spot for someone NOT supposed to be there...

    Hydraulic vs. pto Winches

    The pump can not put out the volume, hence pressure for those BIG motors, I think it was a case of TWO different groups designing the 936 but not talking to each other since each had a job to do, One group set up the hyd winches, assuming that the existing hyd pump had enough push but not...

    Hydraulic vs. pto Winches

    So what I was told is true, thank you for letting me know :wink:, I was told the pump on the 936 is the SAME pump that is on the 816

    NO, NOT a anti tech rant, why should members on SS have to adjust for phone use, I DO NOT think so. SS is not a phone app, the phone app needs to be adjusted to read and show SS correctly.

    Hydraulic vs. pto Winches

    Think the first is wrong if both winches are the same, heard that the 936 drag winch was DOWN rated on the 45000# to 25000# because of the hyd. needed to get 45000# for a single line pull, could get enough hyds for 25000# with the existing pump, but needed to change pumps to get 45000#

    Maybe UP GRADE your SMART phone, if it was a REAL SMART smart phone, it should be SMART enough to adjust to text color and NOT have members adjust for the DUMB smart phone
