Wreckerman,you are right about not being a speed wagon but also right about the pulling power of the M52's low range in 1st gear. I pulled a dead Case 850 up a steep mountain road, with two heavy chains and a full load of dirt on her for traction. Got the loader to the shop and fixed it. I swear...

Sure will!

I have a 4+bay garage but all 9 ft wide and 8 ft high. 22ft deep so mine gets repairs outside. I will be adding on and up with new door hopefully this summer.

I scrapped a perfectly good one. No one wanted it. Now I feel like a bad guy.:swbradley1:

Getting some knee work soon?

Yep the knees. Mine are much better after the surgery.

Many projects. Now I can't wait to get back outside. Not too cold a winter but too cold to work dirt. Then too muddy.

dump truck Thinking of selling the M51-A2 with the multi-fuel Needs work. Been site truck. Works and dumps. Needs brake work. I keep adding brake fluid. Anyone have advice on what it's worth?

and the fenders are much larger on the five tons.

Thanks Ratch, I was wondering where I left that!

I have a K3500, 1987 same condition, flaking all over the rear half and one broken rear shackle , The cab was all repaired using parts from LM and classic truck. Then the frame cracked, I broke the back window, and then the driveshaft broke off at the rear axle, (the tube was rusted) I am done...

Doing good now. Just slower! Doing things I never had enough time for. One problem, not enough money! Plenty of time.

Soun ds like you got a good price! Plow set up alone worth that.

Back when I plowed with a tandem axle dump, we had air pistons to raise and lower the blade. Would the compressor put out enough air to run the plow's ups and downs and power the angle pistons? Anybody utilize an air powered system?
