Hello! I had to google what a m656 was, but I remember seeing that on Kijiji. Congrats on the find! How's it going so far with her? No major problems?

Are you just meaning because they're built solid; is that it?
Most engines I've found that if you want to have higher horsepower, the longevity of the motor decreases. So with that being a stock N14 cummins, yeah I would guess it should run a long time. But if you take that motor, increase the fuel you put into it, increase the RPM's, add a turbo, etc you are now going to decrease the life of the motor as you are adding extra stress to all the stock components.

I had a guy there trying to get a winch from me last year but we could never find a good way to get it there without an arm and a leg for transport. I was wondering if he ever joined Steel Soldiers. We discussed it.

Turns out the person who wanted to bring them up out of the USA was not able to. Its my understanding that you cant unless you own a corperated business
Do you have a source for this information?
I'm planning on importing an M35A2 from the USA in a few years, and this is the first I've heard of it being a "business only" affair.

Anyone out there know of a Leyland/DAF T244 for sale? Just discovered these trucks exist after seeing one in person yesterday, and it checks all the right boxes for me. Similar to the Bedford trucks but with a bigger cab. Doesn't look like they're very easy to find over here, though they are plentiful in the UK.

Hello guys i live for the quebec and i search project restoration for a am general m52 do you would to help me ?
Are you using a translation website to help with your posts? If English isn't your first language then communicating will be a bit tougher but we're all big boys and can figure things out.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Can you clarify if you're looking for a project......or searching for information on a project you are already working on.

For the fun of it......the 5 ton forum might be a great place to;...... A) Start a new post with your build information all in one place....... B) Find an older post with important/relevant information that you can add to and ask questions.

Before I type a bunch of useless information, here are links to the 5 ton teams and the 5 ton TM's (technical manuals)

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?115-5-ton-and-up-TMs

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?43-5-ton-and-up

If you're reading this site through a translation page I'm sure a lot of information will be lost in the translation......and it might be very humorous at the same time.

[QUOTE = wilson7889; 1991193] Bonjour les gars je vis pour le québec et je recherche la restauration du projet pour un m52 général m vous aideriez-vous?

Utilisez-vous un site de traduction pour vous aider dans vos posts? Si l'anglais n'est pas votre première langue alors la communication sera un peu plus difficile mais nous sommes tous les grands garçons et pouvons comprendre les choses.

Je ne suis pas sûr de ce que vous demandez. Pouvez-vous préciser si vous êtes à la recherche d'un projet ...... ou à la recherche d'informations sur un projet sur lequel vous travaillez déjà.

Pour le plaisir de ...... le forum 5 tonnes pourrait être un endroit idéal pour: ...... A) Commencez un nouveau post avec vos informations de construction en un seul endroit ....... B ) Trouver un poste plus ancien avec des informations importantes / pertinentes que vous pouvez ajouter et poser des questions.

Avant de taper un tas d'informations inutiles, voici des liens vers les équipes de 5 tonnes et les 5 tonnes TM (manuels techniques)

Http://www.steelsoldiers.com/forumdisplay.php?43-5-ton-and-up

Si vous lisez ce site grâce à une page de traduction, je suis sûr que beaucoup d'informations seront perdues dans la traduction ... et il pourrait être très humoristique en même temps.

You picked a difficult truck to find. There is something like it up in the bush north of Edmonton but the guy put a P&H crane on the back and it's been sitting for decades. I'm certain it had the 6606 Continental under the hood. It would cost a lot of money to haul it across Canada. We need to find something local for you. How much money were you thinking of spending on an initial purchase? Just trying to understand if you're looking for a $1000.00 truck or a $20,000.00 truck? I searched "M52 for sale" and have not observed any trucks for sale.

Keep searching the internet and we'll keep hunting for one....like this http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m52.php

Vous avez choisi un camion difficile à trouver. Il ya quelque chose comme ça dans la brousse au nord d'Edmonton, mais le gars a mis une grue P & H sur le dos et il est
assis depuis des décennies. Je suis certain qu'il avait le 6606 Continental sous le capot. Il coûterait beaucoup d'argent de le transporter partout au Canada. Nous devons
trouver quelque chose de local pour vous. Combien d'argent pensez-vous de dépenses sur un premier achat? Juste essayer de comprendre si vous êtes à la recherche d'un camion
de 1000,00 $ ou un camion de 20 000,00 $? J'ai cherché "M52 à vendre" et n'ont pas observé de camions à vendre.

Continuez à chercher sur Internet et nous allons continuer à chasser pour un .... comme cela http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m52.php

When's the Stampede?

I guess that's likely in the summer months, but as rodeos go they say THAT there is one real rodeo, maybe the best!
