    Dolly Convertor Saga Continues completed haul

    I spent $250 for the M 200A1 and $200 for the fifth wheel, the two sons in the photos cost more than I can say and the steel was the tail end of a 27 foot trailer I built in Texas to move north at my wifes bidding. All in all it will be about $600 for the whole deal since I scavanged two double...

    Abusing the Equipment

    Tires and the sounds of a .357

    my guess on this is a bruise caused by hitting a rock or curb with a little speed. All it takes is a cord to be sheared to let air leak into the outer rubber of the tire. The good thing about a duece is the bud style wheel lets you single out that rear to keep the flat from burning up your...

    tractors, tractors, and more tractors

    RE: Tractors 5 ton plusssss In reference to the M 915 with an air shift CAT transmission, expect much higher speeds than 75 since I once spent an entire day chasing my M 915's in North Dakota and Minnisota in my M 1009 doing 85 and not catching them until they reached a traffic jam. When the...

    Dolly Convertor Saga Continues completed haul

    Wreckerman: I may have been an M 354 two axle dolly convertor. If it was sand colored it was one we had in the First Cav in Desert Storm. Jeli: Thanks for the comment, The M200A1 is a good chassis as you said and if you get one as cheap as I did ( $250) you might be temped to make a custom...

    Dolly Convertor Saga Continues completed haul

    RE: Finally got the dolly done except for paint Thanks for the complement, I am going to tee the line on the dolly and also make up a double gladhand line to go from the duece to the semi and bypass the dolly brakes since I do not want them braking harder and jacknifing the rig. I will most...

    this forum aint dead

    With the likes of Pelosi coming to power we will have a problem getting even a fuel tank let alone an armored one. I think it would be great to have an armor section it just means having the land and friendly government along with your deep pockets to own one. That is one reason I stayed so...

    Great deal on a back saver for your Deuce

    RE: Updated Photos of the little crane that could You will notice that the heavy pick warped the bed of the duece even with additional backing plates below the bed. I am going to straighten the bed and instal a bigger base plate on the crane. It was my fault for overloading it but I had to...
