We are really at opposite ends of 2 states. Have you tried U-ship? Hows John feel about the tires making it? My $.02...trailer it...a Uhaul car hauler can just handle it if you have a truck to make the journey.

Still no luck??? I have one that needs to come from Gimpy at Dayton area to North Indiana. Note they fit on a u-haul car trailer.

Sounds like the tranny is in 5 locked. There is no way you will overcome the gearing and 5th gear clutch pack.... it will simply kill the engine with very little movement. It's like putting a manual tranny car in 5th gear and trying to start out. The reason it works in reverse is the...

I bet you see that a bed that large could be overloaded. I can put the 929 to the limit and you have nearly 4' on me.

Just when I sold the PW, I discovered the modification and wished I had done it. I'm going to do it to my F600 (4x4 boomtruck) with a 391 that burns through points. I've been feeding the Ford points and condenser and an occasional coil for 25 years. It's to the point that the only tools I...

A parts truck....as in has a lot of parts but is going to need a lot more.....aka money pit. Get the engine running before throwing more money into the big green hole.

You need to know if they are both open center valves. Like Wes said you need a two position, 2 circuit selector valve. If the bed valve is a closed center, then use the valve from the 936 and put the selector valve after the main valve (that came with the PTO)(it is open center). That...

Here is what I did to keep stuff out of my radiator...just expanded metal and a couple of bungee cords. Radiators are getting real expensive.

"The ONLY section of fuel line that wasn't tested or replaced was between the fuel filter and the injection pump." That is the section that gives me the most trouble because the engine vibration on one end and the fixed connection to the filter on the other. If your not 120% sure that hose is...

Or just buy an M1061.....great trailers and low. May require some adjustment on the lunette (mine will probably get about a 3' tongue extension).

First, I don't have a FMTV....I have a 5 ton and deuce. Make your LMTV bed into a trailer. I don't think the M105 frame would work very well for that though. Below is picture of M105 axle with bolster wheels. To use with LMTV bed I may widen it 6" so the springs line up with the frame...

Had to outbid a scrap company on the bridge steel....still made money as a lot got made to 2' and the price was $330/ton for the scrap at the time. I'm eyeing some beams from it for a mod to the M322 trailer. I used the money from selling my shop to buy 43 acres. Not willing to sell any land...

Just using a small, say 1 gal. tank and line direct to your IP can tell you if it's a fuel issue. Bypass all of the potential leaks. I'm not one to want to run one up speed with the wheels spinning but I do like having it engaged so the transfer case output spins, not simply in neutral with...

I look at metal materials as a bank account. I'm still using heavy angle, extremely heavy angle and I beams from buying a bridge that was taken down and stored by our county... 90 tons.

Thanks Chris for the offer. I have two trailers full of my tools and machinery that I can't unload into a shop....because I don't have a shop. Land rich and shop poor.

Getting all the materials together may take a while...(could for me). My budget is okay (something sold) or famine, so some projects languish. I have enough tires for the 4x4 M35A3 project but sure would like a set of (5) of the XZL+ 395's selling at $200 a tire (new). The kids have all got...

I think they make a T that would help distribute the top loading. I understand making it like a plane rib now, but that weld would be prone to breaking in the heat affected zone. Making it like a rib does allow a curved top. Are you planning having storage, like poles or anything in the...

I wouldn't take anything out of a 2" flat. Leave that metal in place. If the piece were 4" + wide, then lightening might be an option. You can't see it (angle mounted with the point out) in the photo very well at the front of the bed, but I think putting on the angle aluminum like was...

Take the front and rear driveshafts off at the transfer case so your not turning the axles.

Nice Bronco. That's my favorite body style. Have you looked at the bobbed trucks (4x4) in deuce and 5 tons?
