    5 ton dump truck questions

    I've had an 817 with duals and a 929 with singles. I'd stay with the duals because with a load, the singles can be "bouncy" and not as stable. I think the 395 would be a bit better than the 14.00 as it's not as tall, but if I had money, I'd go to dual 12.00 tubeless in the rear. The G177 in...

    Harbor Freight/Northern Tool welders???

    NO...if you are not a very experienced welder, anything heavier than sheet metal body panels should not be relied upon...NO frame brackets or shock mounts or anything that requires penetration. Especially if you are talking a mig. If you can do stick, the small rods can be used and you have...

    LED dash and other uses

    I received the red and green LED 24 weatherproof from China and have a couple of extra pieces to peddle and then will order a few more in various cut length sizes. I'll put an ad in classifieds for them. Sorry no pictures yet.

    M939 Hard Top Mold

    Since the subject is mold, how about one that is a negative...the mold on the inside and the outer layups are the outside. Ribs or a honeycomb could be built into the mold. Steel parts could be incorporated in.

    M939 Hard Top Mold

    I bet to do it with some goodies, there could be 4-5 pieces.... fiberglass assembly required, but easier to ship. What to do around the windows? How about a back window or at least a piece of polycarb? Could get complicated and fiberglass is not my preferred medium but I've collected some...

    M939 Hard Top Mold

    I recently put a set of booths in, in a fiberglass fab shop nearby and might be able to get a few made on the cheap. They have all the capability that you are talking about from molds to multiple lines of chopper guns and cure booths. I've considered it myself but haven't really had much cash...

    3 generators on trailers at Ft Drum NY move off base or haul to CT

    Do these have torsion axles, 8 lug? Probably dual 9.00 on the big one.

    3 generators on trailers at Ft Drum NY move off base or haul to CT

    I think you're right Will. Why aren't you bringing them back, splitting apart and selling? I'd love to have all those components for trailer building projects. Bring them to you and I'll work out trucking with some boot.

    Pull tree with a winch?

    I'll admit to pushing a couple with my boomtruck. One tugged hard on the cable once pulling and I don't do that any more.

    M103 Trailer Shock

    I may mount an S-788 shelter on the 105 axle. I'll be removing 4 or 5 of the springs to bring it lower, leaving the overloads in place. That would be a good time to add shocks. Thanks for all the shock info.

    Desired front axle caster and pinion angle

    Robert is right and I think it results is a positive caster angle of the wheel. Post up pictures of your fun!

    Possible road trip to Tennessee, Won M4KN 4K Forklift

    Even longer at 10-15. Could one of these be pulled at 30-35? Nice FT Phil! I've wanted and needed one of those fork-trucks for a long time. I'm entirely in sand so anything less sinks. I have 2 trailers of machinery that need unloaded, sinking into the ground. It looks really nice...

    M43 Ambulance - Distributor Questions

    Probably valves or valves and rings. They make an electronic ignition for changing almost any points over that eliminates the points problem.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Sorry, thought you wanted to stay with military issue. I'm several orders of magnitude under your budget. Here's one that I thought about using on flee bay, title: Solidremote 12 - 24V Wireless RF Remote Control Relay Switch Receiver 2-Channel is $18 and 4 channels can be had for under $40...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I've used other cable setups and don't always see the OEM as best. But I know you like OEM, so all is well. I try and give SS a significant price savings but it's clear some don't. Since my M35A3 doesn't have the exhaust close, like your 5 ton, I'm probably going to air for the PTO...

    M37 Barn Find

    Could be a 273 which looks just like the 318. Had one in a Dodge Coronet that could keep up with the 383 until the top end back in 75.
