Sorry for the lack of response on my snow plow mount. I have been busting my but getting the rest of my equipment ready and have not had a early night in weeks. I have not been spending any time on my computer... My mount is exactly like Jakelc15's to a t. It cradles the axle with a c type...

Thanks again for the compliments! Travis, my mounts are pulled off vdot trucks, standard municipal mounts that cradle the front axle, and attach to a modified front cross member through the bumper. Easy on and off. I'll get you some pictures to your phone on Monday. I sometimes go several...

I've searched and not found any info to help me so I'll seek expert advice here;) I have noticed that my windshield leaks a fair bit of water around the edges when driving in the rain on both my 931s and would like to know if there is a remedy for this. The seals look to be in ok shape, should...

Thank you all for the compliments! Artisian, thanks - words to live by really. The plow is 3 pins to remove from the mount, then 2 pins and the mount is off the truck. It is mounted to the front cross member (through the bumper) that has been reinforced with 1" plate. The lower part of the...

Thanks! I have 6 trucks on with VDOT and the good thing is these 2 trucks are on Interstates, so they get called out at the hint of snow and get lots of standby time. If we have a mild winter these trucks will still do good with little wear and tear. If we have a winter like last year, I'm...

[thumbzup]Thanks in large part to this forum here is the almost finished project from this summer. I have learned a lot and am willing to help anyone who needs advice if I can provide it! It has been a lot of work, but fun at the same time! I am mounting the sander on my second 5 ton now and...

Ok, please forgive my lack of knowledge, still learning the basics on these trucks. I guess I'm a little more concerned about keeping the air system from freezing during extended periods of sub freezing temperatures while removing snow and spreading. What steps can I take to make it less...

Davo, Would the dryer benefit my trucks with me using them to push snow?

I race motocross recreationally and was at a practice track when I came up short on single table top combo that was not ment to be a combo, I tried it anyway. It didn't work out. I'm getting slowly better, down to 1 aircast and crutches. Did a lot of reading on SS the past 8 weeks;)

And Thanks to all that have helped me thus far in this obsession..... I'm not really sure what I have gotten myself into here but it is fun! All the mechanical and electrical systems will be gone over, the plans for the trucks are to complete hot water pressure wash and remove all the lose...

Well I introduced myself already, so now I have my 5 tons I will show them to you all:grin: I just got them this past weekend from Sparta with the help of Jeff Laumer. They both run great so far. No electrical or mechanical issues at all. I have not had them on the road yet, one feels stronger...

I think I might be able to make this work. I'm trying to line up my route to pick up 3 items I have spread all over the east and pick up a few to help others and help cover fuel costs.... If I pick up the trailer from John's place where could I deliver it in Ga? I know John could load it for...

If that thing isn't too wide I could get it to Atlanta for you. I think it's too wide for my deck over gooseneck. Do you know it exact width?

I am picking up an item from Milton Fl GL auction and taking it back to Va. via Warner Robins Ga for another item so I could transport from fl to va or vice versa if someone needs. I also have an item in Indianapolis that I have to get back to Va as well, so if anyone needs something...

I'm following this thread because I am in a similar situation. I am setting up plows and sanders on my trucks and need constant hydraulic pressure to run the sanders. Then when I am plowing and not using the sander just the plow, it needs to run for just the plow operation, up down, left and...

I like hearing that about Jeff. He is an asset to this community. Thanks for the offer.

Will do. I'll be traveling from Wisconsin to VA. I'd like to make some contacts in between just in case. I'd like to have some knowledgeable member's to fall back on if I need a little help. I'm very mechanically inclined, but these trucks are new to me.

Ok, just got the start on my plow trucks! Won them on GL out of Wisconsin. Got one with 260 Miles, 8hrs on rebuild, and the other with 171 Miles. I just got off the phone with Jeff Laumer, he is going to get them off the base for me, and prepare them for the drive home. I will fly out some...

Thank you John. Those eastern trucks look good.

I agree, John if you had pics that would be great. I wonder if its the guy I see in Leesburg? Neophyte, your setup looks fine. Far from "junkyard"! I checked in on plowsite. For some reason they think 2.5 or 5 tons are a waste of time for plowing. Most of those guys are commercial lots...
