Well, it looks like he is gonna buy it... :hop: considering he handed over 2k downpayment last night! Its a little rougher in my mind than I had thought, but it will come with everything it needs except the labor. Alas, I am a dumbass and forgot to use the camera though :banghead...

thanks 73m819... If we switch it to the 11-20's, they are already on rims so it shouldnt be much of an issue. My buddy still needs to square away the funds... :banghead: anyone need a '92 international model 9300 Daycab Road tractor? with Hydraulics? BTW... for spelling check...

If you insist... [^] but I know from experience, that the sparks from them things are mighty hot!!! :jumpin:

Sounds like we have a volunteer!!! [^] [^] [^] [^] get your walkin shoes ready!! and maybe some long gloves so you dont get burned with the flare... :banghead: :banghead:

But I like suprises!!! :hop: [^] ... oh you mean THOSE suprises... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: The route I have planned is pretty simple. Only downfall is about a mile or so of 'suburban' driving. Will have a few stoplights and some traffic to contend with. Unfortunatly...

thats the plan.... I assume that connecting the air brakes will help alot of this wont it?

hehe I have had about 17,000# or so behind mine... I agree, it does take a while. My monster load of wood I had (see pics on my gallery I have posted elsewhere) shocked me. I took expressway with it, and I almost think it went faster on the way home, loaded, than on the way there empty....

[dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] [dito] so anyway.... any feedback on my braking theory?

[^] [^] [^] This is where I get to be soldier A :hop: :hop: :hop: Soldier B would be the new owner of the truck... I dont think it will be any problem for him at all... :roll: Although... there could be that one turn... :freaked: Having traveled the route a few...

ummm... thats a given!! :hop: think the plan will be to tow it home with a towbar behind my deuce.... The 5 tons had glad hands on the front as well for towing them? So I can make a short set of hoses to connect to my trailer connections? Do I need to use both? or can I just use the...

No Problem!!! I am in the money making business... [:)] you guys buy your bridge trucks, bring em up here to NY, and we can do the 'conversion' for you... [^] for a fee of course... :deal: Seriously... I will be willing to share what we learn, and double seriously, I am sure my...

While I havent looked real close at one in person, I think that it would be really easy to narrow the bed up basically by squishing everything together. I gather from my research that the only reason it is that wide is to accomdate the bridge sections... [:)] Basically the game plan is to...

oh... and by the way bruce keeps 'begging' for the truck, I guess I will have to assume its a decent deal :hop: BTW... did i mention that it has only about 3000 miles on it? Soldier A decided it needed to run hot, REAL hot, and overheated it, seizing it... :banghead:

Trying to make the truck appear as legal as possible... [:)] I can imagine what it will be used for, that it will be overweight from time to time :banghead: so it would be best to avoid an overwidth issue.... The plan is to narrow up the existing bed, and keep the 'roll-off' setup. I am...

I wonder if I can get the seller to put 11-20's on it... he has tons of them on rims about 50% tread. Which would be better? 14-20's on singles? or 11-20's duals? I think this truck is going to be about 75% road, and 25% following a tractor around a field catching sileage from a corn chopper....

hee hee the truck I am talking about is 135!! do you know what the exact legal width is for ny? I had stumbled upon 96.... but if thats so, how are all those 102" snowmobile trailers legal?

farm which requires a detailed route? I think in the end, he is going to make the truck narrower to suit. It just makes sense. How wide is the 10ton? I cant seem to find much info on it readily available.

Farm plate? or agriculture plates? there is a difference..

you believe the tires are? I am a little confused about how you have it worded... :banghead: I did look up overwidth requirements here in NY... it seems that for farm use, a year permit could cost less than $400 a year, then it would be required to have the 18" square orange flag on each...

Width, lets talk about how wide this sucker is.... what makes it so wide? (how wide is it to be exact?) is it just the rollers on the rear corners that cause to be an issue? I assume that the dual 14-20's keep it within legal limits? Does anyone know about dealing with an overwidth vehicle...
