The now M931A1 becomes a 932A1 and gets in the action

[hot rod deuce]

Well he it is. I got it home last week after a long trip. Picked it up in florida, headed to portsmouth for the 932A2 parts truck, then to adelmans and on home.

I couldnt take it any more, I had to get some gobbs of greese on the fifth wheel plate. Its kinda fun to have a truck I can actualy use AND show.

the first pic is backing one of our rock crushers in to the shop for some quick, and seemingly endless, maitanace. The allsion sure works good and has plenty of "gear" in high range reverse. This crusher puts about 45,000 on the fifth wheel. Im not sure, BUT if i were to guess I would say thats about all you would want to put on one of these trucks.

The other is just moving the step deck around the yard.

If any one has a M932A1 spec data plate im in the market.

Looking good. The 5 ton tandem is rated at 44,000, but the super singles are only 9000 ea. I think a 931A0 with dual commercial tires could move the weight without fear of blowouts, and having a 'gator come in the cab with you through the soft top. That would hurt.

Yeah, I never thought about a gator swinging up into the cab. I wouldnt take it down the road like that. Its way over axle weight any way. I can only scale 28,000 on the tandem with 14" wide tires up here in the land of 10,000 lakes. However, with a shot wheel base and six wheel drive it shure makes a nice yard truck.

Nice truck...for what you paid...if you paid anywhere near where Chris was asking originally...you stole that truck. That is easily a $15K truck. I've owned several M939 series tractors and that one ranks right up there. Congrats!

does yours have springs in the rear or airbags? I have the same truck more or less and I'm sure I'll be asking you some questions.

very nice truck

 

[hot rod deuce]

jwaller, Mine has springs. Dont they all? I did hear a rumor you had air ride. Do you know what brand/model your air ride is?

Have you pulled anything down the road with yours?
