It does pull right out of the mount so I could make a holder for it on the front bulkhead or on the inside of one of the drop sides. Hmmmm.......... BTW, let's settle up for the battery boxes! 8)

Well, I couldn't wait so I snapped a few tonight after work. Not too bad considering it was so dark the camera would not auto focus! These are the hydraulic tank/pump. The perspective makes it appear crooked in relation to the truck but I can assure you, it is square! Last pic is the side view...

Well, I got the hydraulic tank/pump/valve mounted yesterday and hooked up to the PTO. Now I have to get my linkages hooked up to the pto for the winch output and the pump output. My pics did not turn out, I'll try and get some up later in the week.

Clinto, I bought the hoist off of Ebay, go here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1000-Lb-Hoist-Lift-Davit-Truck-Boat-PWC-Jet-Ski-Dock_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ63697QQihZ005QQitemZ150064734645

I dont see the need for a chainfall, I do need a small rigging chain for it though. It lifts 8' and the bed is a little over 5' to the ground so technically if I rig the tire on the ground with the hoist fully lowered it should lift the tire 8' off of the ground. (I hope!) Do you have any pics...

Plans are coming together! I figured out a neat way to change a tire, well, actually being able to put the flat back in the truck...... I bought this neat little hoist that rotates and sits in a ball bearing support with a rotation lock so you can park it. It also lifts out of the housing easily...

Today I started on the pinion seal leak in the foward rear axle, what a bear this is! :x I finally got the pinion nut off and pulled the flange, then had to pull the bearing support and found that the seal is BEHIND the bearing support housing so now I have to press out the pinion shaft to get...

Semi-finished the bumper and semi-mounted the winch.

Let me get this one done A.J. and let you see the final installation. I'll treat you right. 8)

Now that I've made one and have the sequence down, I suppose that it would not be too much trouble to make more........ Is the Deuce bumper the same as the 5 ton? I made the 5-ton bumper exactly 96" wide. If they are the same and the process was standardized it would keep the costs semi-reasonable.

It is a Hobart 180 just like your son's. The 230v welders are much better on usable life for me as I've burnt up TWO 120v machines, your son will be very happy with that welder.

I know this has nothing to do with the dump, I got side tracked! My front bumper is beyond repair, I figured that I would make one out of 3x10x1/4 box tubing. I then had what I thought to be a "logical" epiphany: add a winch as long as you are doing the work! So, got a winch and made the...

FYI, At 40 degrees the capacity for my setup is appx. 18.8 tons.

Well, I just spent the last forty minutes typing up a great reply and got kicked off of the internet! Funny thing is, I work at an AOL tech center and yes, I am at work! So, I will summarize VERY briefly- I went with the Knaphoist 1527L conversion hoist on my M813. Hoist placement will...

Well, the Deuce PTO will not work on the fiver as ya'll stated. Clark Truck parts traded me PTO's and just charged me a little to add an accessory drive to it for the pump. So now that the PTO is in I figured that it was a waste of a good front output so I bought a winch off of Ebay and will be...

Funny thing about that- I did not know this but you can position the hoist either way as long as the pivot points are in the same location as stated in the Knapheide literature. They say that dump angle and capacity is not affected by turning it around. So, the drop down will be close to the...

I ordered the entire kit from Shade Equipment in Winchester, VA. If you are not in VA go to www.knapheide.com and get a number for your closest dealer. The really cool thing is that they sent me a whole page of calculations so I could see exactly what capacity I would have at what angle and to...

Alright, My dump hoist finally came in! The entire kit came complete and matched to my specific requirements. The kit also came with a hinge but I wanted a commercial dump grade hinge so I ordered that in addition. I am going to try to link some pictures from my album to this thread.

Re: RE: M813-A1 dump conversion. Will my idea work? Follow this link for the hinges: http://www2.rowetruck.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=35#hinge

I have a M813 with the 14' ISO bed and I want to convert it to a dump without losing the look it has now. My idea is to use a commercial style dump bed hinge at the rear and a scissor type hoist underneath the ISO bed. This would make the truck appear stock w/the exception of seeing the rear...
