I think all the 939s only had the one weight rating of 5 ton.
If your terrain isn’t too harsh or steep sidehills, you’ll be fine with the 2000 gallon.
Also get a snatch block for the winch, they are relatively easy to stall on a single line.
D5 shouldn’t have broke it at only about 12-14 ton, off road would likely get it done though.
Guy on here while ago ran a lime spreader on a 936 chassis, claimed to haul 20 ton regularly, not sure how it held up though, would probably be well over 60k on the rears.
YES! I would imagine just about everyone with a cargo truck would like to make it dump. The more experiences documented the better...
Truck and bandsaw both looking good!
There should be someone around here that knows a little bit about HOW MANY AMPS...
Maybe he's busy sitting in his lazy boy with a plunger stuck to the floor watch how to shift video's?
Yep, once I did a search I see how common these are. I cant believe Ive never run across one before. Also thinking of putting one on my Powerstroke, so I can use one of the batteries to back up my house battery on the camper.
Sorry, mine are all gone. Somebody should have a pile of them though? Hopefully they didn't get scraped, or if they did someone saved the insulation...
Ooh.. I can see you slipping over to the dark side, the starter IS where it starts! With that big Cat trany you could really crank up a little bus motor.
Looking forward to a ride report!
Do you happen to know your typical weight on the rear tandem empty, with your trailer hitched, as well...
Yep, a couple more feet of reach on the passenger side.
Going to eventually put a pipe, to drop it in, up around the front bumper also.
Hopefully now that I've thinned out some of the coyotes around here, maybe get some pictures of deer hanging from it this year!
Mostly Harbor freight junk. Part of spare tire davit for the upright, old engine hoist for the main horizontal beam, 8 ton harbor freight air over hydraulic cylinder, #2,500 Harbor freight ATV Winch.
I went with the smaller winch so I did not need as much juice to run it. I have confirmed it...
Oh no, I hope you didn't get Creosote burned. I've been burned several times and it makes a sunburn seem like fun.
The side boards look awesome. I'd go green if you can match or just leave them as is, look cool to me! Just my $.02
