Hobart and Miller are owned by the same people. The Hobart is a Miller without as many "bells and whistles". You can't go wrong with a Hobart. Just stay away from the foreign stuff.

These days, batteries and radiators won't last long in a abandoned vehicle. Then you have people that like to tear stuff up just to tear stuff up. Unless it was on private property where it was unlikely that somebody would find it, I would try any means possible not to leave it.

This is actually not that uncommon on stuff that is still current issue. As has been said above, it would help to know what kind of item we are dealing with.

Ron already seems pretty wound up. This should finish him off. :razz:

:ditto: I don't see what's wrong with the pattern. Sure, it's different but I don't see why it can't be the "ultimate truck" with the stock pattern.

I think the agm batteries are top of the line batteries but I still wouldn't pay $369 for one. I've had horrible luck with the standard lead/acid 6TLs but the agm batteries seem to hold up.

I think the adds are put up there by Google. Barring any obscene adds I don't think the site has any control over what is advertised there.

I wouldn't pay $369 for batteries. As said above, get some group 31 batteries. I can replace both batteries for less than $300 and they will likely last just as long and start the truck just as well. You just have to come up with a different hold down.

What truck are we talking about?

The only thing I'd add is if you mount the PTO to a M915, you'll want it pressure lubed. Mounted at the 11 o'clock position it won't get enough lube otherwise. The M939 won't need the pressure lubricated option. The clutch shifted PTOs sure are nice but they are expensive.

Just went back and looked at the lot. EUC required :(. Guess I'm not as lucky as some of y'all.

The 5-tons and the deuce use the same cab so I'd think the bows would be the same.

I think it's good that you are learning to oxy/acetylene weld. It's almost a lost art with all the fancy welders out there these days. Once you learn how to do it you can transition into other processes with ease (Gas welding is great for learning puddle and heat control. You can weld just...

I just won a M931 today. I was going to fill out the EUC tonight but I better go back and look at the auction. I didn't pay any attention but I assumed it required a EUC.

I think the bars were a afterthought. I don't think the early trucks had them so if you look in a older TM they won't be listed.

Personally, it would warm my heart to see him hanged. This scrap thievery has gotten way out of hand. Cops around here don't seem to care. The local sheriff is one of my good personal friends but our relationship has been strained over this. They seem to be more worried about the revenue...

That's right. The farther you move the hoist back, the less it will lift weight wise. It will go up faster and dump at a steeper angle though. It also puts more stress on the hinge and bed frame the farther you move it back. Where ever you put it has tradeoffs. You just have to put it where you...

I still doubt any more people would use it. The way it is now, if you leave feedback for somebody they will get a PM telling them about it. They can link from there to their feedback page and can leave you feedback from there. I don't know of a better attention getter than a PM.

Personally, I think you'd be better off to just replace the stock compressor. By the time you make a piston work, mount it, buy a pressure switch and other related parts to make it work, and cobble up a mount, $275 doesn't look too bad. Also, how are you planning on running the clutch? I'd think...

I can answer the first question. He's talking about a York AC compressor. A lot of people are modifying them into air compressors to use for on-board air on a vehicle.
