Very cool. I'll probably do my own mainly because I don't know of a shop around me that could do the conversion to my spec. But doing it myself also means it might be a while... tobyS: I can get easily get take-off 14ft and 16ft dump beds so agree I have to be careful. Not a bad thing when...

Nice truck. Is that an electrically driven pump or did you tap off the transmission PTO or engine fan belts? PSI of system? What size reservoir needed for that multistage cylinder? I know, lots of questions, but that is pretty much the exact setup I'd want.

I hear ya, Fasttruck, and agree with your concerns as there are idiots out there that don't comprehend limitations of their equipment. Worse yet, are the clueless ones in the average size car or small SUV who will speed up and zip in front of a fully loaded truck plodding safely along in the...

Thanks, Wes, for pointing it out it the TM. It was so obvious, I forgot it was there and just remembered folks discussing it. Looks like adding a commercial bed to a M939 series can add significant capacity over a M929/M930 and in a safe manner which matters a lot to me.

I saw the tables that show the weight per yard of various materials but it doesn't help me understand the true limitations of the M929. I agree with Wes's point of adding a commercial dump bed to a M939 series is a great solution. I have a M925 project truck that would make a great project...

Is the yardage limited by the dimensions of the bed or by the hoist? The truck itself should hold a lot more weight wise than just 5-6 yards when not on rough terrain.

I’m assuming quarry mode is named because of the raw unscreened rock and dirt fresh from the ground? And the purpose of quarry mode means a mixture of large and small things or sticky things like snow can flow over the over instead of jamming up trying to go below the top hinge?

Ahhh, it's easier to see in the 800 series manual. The 939 series doesn't make sense to me as it refers to using the wings so I don't understand how it meters the dump. I uploaded the spreading section from each manual here.

The dump bed on the M929/930 is shaped differently than civilian dump trucks and has an odd gate arrangement. I'm interested in getting one to move build roads on my place, haul brush/trees to the burn pit, etc. but not sure how well it's suited for those tasks. The civilian dump trucks are...

Thanks- that is a good site. I just looked but wasn't able to find where the cam follower was listed. There is a service manual for sale. Any idea if this is any good?

Okay, that makes sense as I sent a message via paypal about the pushrods when I paid but didn't hear back. No worries. And yes, last post was 1 Oct because later that day my wife gave birth to our daughter...been kinda busy since then:shock: My days and nights have been blurring together...

Wes- I paid and pm'd you a while back but haven't heard from you. Let me know that status of the cam follower. Thanks, Rex

Engine No. 11108780.

Here’s a pic —— You’re too fast Wes- will get engine tag as soon as I can get back to truck

Cam follower is cracked on my M925 parts truck with NHC 250. I want to see if the engine is salvageable so need to replace the follower before playing with it. I’m sure these are plentiful but don’t know the commercial part number(s). And any recommendations for a parts house?

What?!? You didn't read the fine print before you bought an item? For shame.... :rules: I just read the fine print myself and found this: specific items that are not covered include (a) conditions that can be identified only through the operation of a machine on a job site or under load...

I noticed on GovPlanet most of the vehicles listed have the IronClad assurance inspection that is outlined here. Looks like it just means someone working for the online auction house personally inspected the item and documented the info. On the flip side, when a vehicle does not have the...

Yeah, I'm not having much luck. Was hoping someone had a good answer but not holding my breath.

In case someone is looking, it's this thread which has amazing info (thanks Gringeltaube!). https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?84241-Combat-wheels-FMTV-wheels-HEMTT-wheels I wasn't sure if those wheels are the ONLY wheels that fit our trucks. For instance, the Caiman MRAP isn't...

There a number of decently priced equipment trailers that go at the Ritchie Bros auction in Dallas and Houston and I'm wondering if if I can get a one-way rental truck that has air brake connections I can use to pull it to San Antonio. I do a lot of travel for work and can easily jump off the...
