:D Retired now for about 3 years. Never thought that I would be busier now than when I worked full time. Been using the 5 tonner dump a lot on my property moving dirt, fieldstone, and logging. Did a little more work on it. Put seats in it, (was sitting on a Styrofoam box for years). I put the...

One of my favorite things is running loads on this dumper. This is a lite load of brush from a tree line I cleared. Now for the dirt. The truck loves the heavy loads. Been moving fieldstone , logs and dirt around. Sure have improved the landscape and having fun at the same time. Stopped up at...

I had a wheelcylinder leaking badly and pulled it apart. The axle seals were bad too. Got it all together and bled and another one went on the othe axle. Ordered more parts and did that one too. They are simple to work on except the axle hubs are difficult to pull because each stud has a cone...

Been sorting dirt and rocks, for fieldstone walls and I have a nice amount for a future project or two.

My loader starter, quit working late last year, was downhill about 400 feet down a steep hill. I wanted it up at the garage to fix it, needed air tools and droplite etc. Brought two of my strongest chains and the M51A2 down and hitched it up to the front frame of the truck and pulled it...

I loaded her real heavy 5 times and she dumped without evn blinking an eye. Works great! Sorry no pics, camera battery dead. :D For a while during putting this truck together, I had my doubts that I would get success. So I am very happy I can use her. The time looking for parts was an...

Still lookin just as ugly but it is functional except for three flat tires that will get worked on this weekend. Dumper works well and no leaks on pistons or anywhere on truck. The truck is great mechanically. Replaced one door and nice to have a good latch that works from outside. Pintle hitch...

Saw two deucues at a large shop after crossing the river into Maryland, I think, the town was Nitro, according to the exit sign. Pardon my typing skills.This place was off I 68 going into western Maryland.

Was on vacation for a week. Got back and caught up on things and then this morning went back to work on the M51A2 dump. Replaced the pistons. Tough job with limited equipment. Very heavy. The problem was the bent pistons. My wife saw me overjoyed for a change! This truck has been waiting for her...

Making progress, I am done with the removal of the bad cylinders. Here are some pics of them.I will be going over to Am Generals house to pick up the good ones as soon as he is free.Four hours each way!

I had time this morning to experiment with the hydraulic control valve adjustment, and I adjusted it all the way either direction and inbetween. The way it was originally was the best adjustment. So I thought I would disconnect the piston ends completely from the raised body. With props in and...

:oops: My post has disappeared about the dump body that will not fully lower. Comes down halfway. The manual says to adjust the control valve. What do you guys think? :oops: Murphy has got to GO!!! :twisted:

Got the dump body installed on the frame. It raises fine and all the way. It will only lower halfway. I tried bleeding the pistons but all I get is fluid, dont here any air coming out. I ran it up and down as far as I could trying to get it down. It has power down and I can tell that is working...

Is there supposed to be a fuel pump in the passenger side tank on a five ton Kaiser Jeep dump truck?

I need some help on this. The M51A2 auxilary fuel tank and the drivers side tank. I see the pump and on the other tank, no pump. On the dash is a switch that says rite fuel tank or left fuel tank. also on the dash is a switch that says fuel transfer pump. How does the fuel get pumped from aux...

5 ton dump hinge pins made of 2" solid bar stock. 8" long with a squre nut welded on one end and 5/16" hole drilled on other end for removal if nessessary. Tapered on ends to ease installation. Might be 2 and 1/8" stock, cant remember.

after sitting in the garage for a long time we moved the truck out and just about ready to attach the body. we are waiting for a pintle hook. then it is full speed ahead. the brakes work!The handbrake is fixed also.I had purchased the pintle off a five ton, but it didnt fit. It was for the...

I have a five ton. It had brakes when I first drove it. Then I lost any pedal . It was parked for a year. I never checked the fluid. Now I want to use it . I checked the fluid and it was bone dry. I refilled it. No pedal at all ,not even resistance on the pedal. Should I replace the master...

The control box innards are worn and so the valve would work for the pistons, but the pto control shaft on the other side of the control box would not get enough movement to engage/disengage the pto. Another used t.o. control box costs 300. And could be just as worn, if not worse. I didnt...
