    M1031 contact box marker light lens

    Thought I'd update this thread. I purchased six of the 90051, which are supposed to be the clear lens. Well, they fit perfectly. The only problem is, they have a hole drilled right through the middle on every last one of them. It's almost like they wanted water to get out. That doesn't help...

    M1010 Starter Button

    Guilty as charged... My ignition cylinder froze... couldn't remove it..... So I pulled out the actual switch at the base of the column, remove the rod, and actuate the switch manually... Just waiting for a warm day to wire in a 'boat' keyed ignition switch w/ accessory AND push to choke...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Check out your local welding supply shop..You'd be surprised how inexpensive it is, ESPECIALLY if they have remnants, short sections they can't use...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It's a lot easier to carry a $20 4" anvil than $300 pair of hydraulic crimpers that take up more space than a tire iron... :D I'll leave the hydraulics at home :-p

    You want to tin the wire first if you're doing that... Also, do NOT use plumbing solder..

    Hawker 6T AGMs.. Holy mother of god.. now I know why It's taken me 6 months to pull the batteries out of my M934 to charge/test/dispose of..... What are they, like 100lbs a piece? EDIT: YUP!

    M35a3 vs m923a2 need some opinions

    My 5 ton is ~12' on 1100r20..BUT... It's an M934... lol I believe specs put an A2 ~10ft tall. It'd be pretty easy to cut the exhaust down and put a flapper or 90* on it if you had to...

    M35a3 vs m923a2 need some opinions

    A deuce drives more like a large pickup whereas a 5 ton really feels more like a semi.... Whenever I take out my 5 ton, I feel like I'm prepping for a flight.. Gotta go through the checklist, let it warm up, check connections/fluids/temps/pressures, etc. I find the 5 ton easier to drive (auto...

    Security

    No joke. After about 10k $ of equipment was found 'missing' from a local base, I got a call from CID because numerous people had reported the Eotech I was selling on Craigslist was stolen from them. Obviously BS, and a quick pic of the SN to him got an apology for wasting my time, but yeah.. I...
