most 5 tons had 11:00 x20 s on them. I definitely wouldn't run 9:00s on the front axel. too much weight. blowing a front tire WILL stain you're skivvies, been there

wait until you pull something really hard. theres a chance you will pull those flanges in.

next time hook a chain and a snatch block to one of you're lifting eyes, to keep the cable in the middle of you're winch. the cable will bunch up in the middle but it will get you out and u can rewind it later. I assume u DO have a snatch block. if not GET one. good luck on u're next excursion.

i.ll have to check the map and see if the beast will make it with no problems ???

I've got a batt. in my 5 ton that was 4 yrs. old when I bought the truck in 2002, and it still starts and keeps a charge. had to replace one last winter with a used one. go figure.

I don't get why people have to change things that work well to begin with. must have too much money?? each to their own I guess.

not to start any thing here, but I went to school back in the 60's with a kid that his favorite word was nebulous. he was a cool dude.

ya postman that's a load. they can take it.

hey ,you gotta put some 12 inch side boards on that thing. I always carry 12 to 15 ton on my M-51. it slow but it hauls it. wish I had a newer one but just can't afford it.

all the ones I messed with you have to power out because the cable is so heavy and it has to go through the fairlead. it usually takes 4 or 5 soldiers to pull on it also.

This is how you unload an M- 51 THANKS to TTT Truck in Rocky Point N.C.

the beast and me is heading to warmer weather. Gonna be residing in Burgaw,N.C. as of 6/18, sucking up the sunshine. No more snow and freezing weather for this old bird. hope to run into some of u guys down there. bye bye New England

I'm shipping the beast down pretty soon ,u guys will have to show me around . making the move the second or third week of June.

Ya, I'm thinking of driving it. I figure the gas would be about $600.00 . then the tires aren't that great, and I think the trip would beat the **** out of this 65 yr. old back. I'm thinking about it tho. I'm looking into a train ride for it also.

I got the same motor and have had it for ten years. been plowing for the town for 8 yrs and the oil pressure is and has been pretty much the same as you describe. I've put over 7k miles on it between plowing and bopping around and don't give it any thought anymore, though I did put in a...

I hauled three loads of quarry boulders for a friend that had to line his backyard so the river wouldn't take anymore of his property. each load was over 15 ton on my 61 m51. it was slow going but she kept on going.

sounds like u got the air lines crossed to me.
