my bud got a 62 m51 dump for $ 3500. runs great . needs a little tlc. if i had the room ,it would be in my fleet.

you can get 24 volt stuff at fleetpride over in norwell ,or corsini truck over in midd.near the rotary. also new england truck in brockton.

i'm with recovery 4x. the port is not letting the fluid back to the m/c.

hey , if you're gonna swap the m/c take it apart and clean it, put it back together. rebuild it at another time.

my 5 ton did that a couple times, once in the 4th of july parade. had to put it in low range to move, and it stopped by itself. the m/c had crap in it , not letting the plunger return. replaced the m/c and been fine ever since.

isn't collusion when cars crash into each other??

iyeh, int title ser. is the way to go. try a friend in n.h. first. the dmv is a nightmare. i had one woman ,then she had to check with someone else, then he had to call boston, and then they said there had to be more than 5 serial #s. after 2 hrs they just wrote it up and said go to another...

geeze, i thought that was my truck for a minute there. oh, mines a 5 ton

i've been using one of those coleman tent heaters in my buggie for the past 5 years while plowing. i set in the right side floorand put a 20# propane in the bed, and run a 10 foot hose thru a hole in the floor to the heater.like they say , with all the drafts in the thing, you will not kill...

once in a while take it somewhere and go about 20 miles an hr and jump on the brakes. i was towing my p/u one day , went to slow down for a corner and pedal went right to the floor. always get ready to pull the emergency. had to do it a few times already. almost done replacing all the lines now.

reminds of a time way back i got thrown off a parkway in jersey in my p/u. the cop said if i had a cap on it , there'd be no problem??? went down the street, found another on ramp, and booked for mass.

what i'm getting is any p/u over 5000 lds.(which is any full size pu ) has to have comm. plates? i thought mass. was bad .

check with a lumber co. in you're area. some of those trucks are drop decks and can haul a deuce no problem. might find a guy running to ny empty.

as far as i know the 5 tons take a 2 inch wheel cyl. front and rear. at least on my 61 M-51

"a man has got to know his limitations"

just like the brake fluid ghost. before i go anywhere i peek in the master cylinder and sure enough the ghost has stolen some of my fluid, not much, but enough to say where the he-- is that stuff going?? use about a pint a year.especially when i do alot of plowing.

i just put one of those 1500 watt thermo syphoning heaters in my 5 ton.15 degrees and that 602 fired like it was summer.

as a good friend of mine always said " a man has got to know his limitations"

had a friend worked for a gravel hauler a while back, had this old person in front of him on the highway, wasn't going fast enough for him and layed on the air horns, scared the guy off the road ,and the company got sued form the old goat.

i always carry a couple buckets of sand in the back for slippery sitiatons. plus some small chains i run thru the spoke holes of the duals,usually good enuff to get you out of a bad spot.
