RE: Big Dumb Trailer... I think a couple of 5 Ton Tool boxes would make more sense on either side for storage.

RE: is it for sale Try to get that to someone that can get it together or help another truck get together. Those trucks are too rare now. I saw one similar at Reading and it was amazing to see.

Why is there a water drain under the tranny?

An Air Hammer with the hammer up on the fitting around the lunette and on the lunette should break it loose if you're applying the hammer blows and someone else is whacking the shaft.

So what is the correct socket? I'm going to have to do my bearings at some point this summer and I might as well have the correct socket ahead of time.

In some cases, you don't want to float. though it depends on the vehicle. My Ferret and Dingo can float (flat undersides) and actually paddle along over mud like a crocodile. The Deuce can't do that, so it' needs to get down to firm ground below the mud.

I put a 2nd tool box on top of the first on my fist 6x6, a 5 ton (M813A1). The new owners have since returned it to original form.

The better ones have a true accelerometer in them that's more dependable than a pendulum. the Tekonsha Prodigy that I have in my Deuce is one of those.

They're off an M123. I doubt you have many of those in the UK. :wink:

I ordered mine from Saturn Surplus.

Fuel pump is on the engine. Gear driven. There's no secondary pump like on a deuce.

For the steep grade on I77 near your place, about 25 mph. Either straining near the top of 5th gear low range or in 3rd gear high range. But then I was at 26,200 lbs with a trailer back there and no fuel fiddlyness. The rest of the way it waggled from 45-55mph depending on hills and such.

The law was vetoed by the Governor. No problem at any other level and iirc was voted for unanimously in both houses. Why the Governor had a problem is anyone's guess.

Well, I've got the rear facing PTO shaft on the dual output PTO. Seems like a shame not to take advantage of it.

You could always go with a set of arms from a 10 ton like my Deuce has.

I'll join up as well as I'm more comfortable on the long trips, with friends it should be a snap. though, I suspect we'll take longer. I could probably scrounge up a few more too.

I made a locking door handle for mine. Do I need to repost the images?

Bravo on getting the Job Done. So....are they going to get a second one since it was able to go where the other trucks weren't?
