I am thinking of using 1"x3"x14' DOM as a spacer under the boom & bed (and under the rear 2' of the cab) with the thought that it will reinforce the frame. this will replace the wood strips found under the cargo bed. Any thoughts or observations?

I would love to see pics of it!

which engines do they have?

I got a spec sheet for the boom today, and it includes the rating for the manual extension... 750kg/1650lb @ 8.4m/27.5ft

be carefull what you ask for, I may bring it with the bed needing to be rewelded.

Unfortunately if i put the crane base as far forward as possible I am still 11" short with the bed stock length (horns already removed). How much frame space does your's take up? mine is 32 3/4" can you take some pics of how yours is mounted to the frame? I am thinking of making spacers that...

reminds me of the carc'd minivan.

I imagine what you saw were back sections of the MK48 (articulated 8x8 ). Most of the ones I have seen were the mk17 drop side or mk 18 bridge carriers. I would think you could move one with a 5 ton, but it definately wasn't made for that. "The LVS has an off road payload of 12.5 tons and an on...

I will be using a slightly shortened pipeline bed the picture below shows the bed (the yellow line is aproximately where I plan to cut it) just under 4000

paid 1500 for the crane which included the use of the previous owner's skidsteer for mounting,a small bobcat excavator(used as a moveable anchor/weight), his help, his son's help(I think they were bored), and lunch.

after close inspection, two of the data plates are legible with concerted effort. One says "Do not stand under load" the other is the load chart, it reads "Safe Working Load" 5000kg/11000lb @ 1.9m/6.3ft 3750kg/8250lb @ 2.4m/7.9ft 2650kg/5850lb @ 3.5m/11.5ft 1800kg/3900lb @ 5m/ 16.4ft...

I have started a new thread here http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showpost.php?p=335099&postcount=1

A brief history... After looking for a few days (actually about 3 1/2 years) I recently found and bought a knuckleboom crane to mount on my deuce. The truck.... Purchased on Ebay started out its life as a M185a3 which I bought as a cab and chassis. The knuckleboom... 1972 Hiab 950...

I would think so...as long as the multi pump is not clogged up.

maybe this is a lucky rack? If anyone wants to borrow it to see if it works for them....;-)

the crane was actually mounted to a short section of truck frame welded to a universal skidsteer mount. When I got there they were very close to crushing the skidsteer with the crane (one side of the mount had come free from the skidteer mount) I have 8 rods/with nuts I will need to make the...

a few observations... A hiab 950 is probably more than a ragged skidsteer can safley handle The M44 series rides like crap as a cab and chassis I am tired I'll probably start a seperate thread on the crane in a few days.

I like it... "turbo charged 6.0" I bet it can do wheeleies with ease. the " used 4x4 parts" stencil on that 1/4 might be the understatement of the year rofl

What RPM would you want to run your deuce at for powering hydraulics? I don’t have my hydraulic pump yet so I want to pick one that hits the specs I need at the speed that is best for my “D” multifuel. Keep in mind I can use the transmission to change the speed of the t-case pto relative to...

I like it, but isn't it just an open field in the opposite direction?rofl
