    I really didn't mean to buy it...

    PM sent RE wheels and tires. My problem is that anytime something new with wheels shows up here at the funny farm usually something with four legs appears shortly thereafter. After then last M923 showed up I discovered two alpacas, two llamas, four donkeys and a new pony in the barn.:shock: If...

    Trouble removing my troop seats sideboards and headache rack

    If you get them the slightest bit canted and put them in a bind you will rip them to pieces before they come out. My guess is that they are rusted in or as you suspect may have some paint holding them. Worst case scenario is that you have to remove the slats and take out each stake at a time...

    M923 questions

    I have two M927's in my yard. My A2 with the 8.3 and a loaner that has the 250 in it. Both have the super singles. The 8.3 is far more user friendly and gets very good fuel mileage considering the load it's hauling around. The 250 has a lot more grunt than the 8.3 but is loud and sucks the...

    Are prices going up?

    A few years back I bought four deuces for 1000 each out in Ark. These were bought sight unseen but there was a lot of them in one sale and they were all Arkansas NG trucks. I did not mean to buy four, I put in an auto bid on a bunch of them and when the sale was over I had won four. Even...

    New deuce owner, will turn over will not fire.

    A diesel needs fuel and air to fire, no smoke out of the stack means no fuel in the cylinders. You will have to trouble shoot the system to discover where in the system the blockage is. If your in tank fuel pump is working (you should hear it running with the battery switch on) you should be...

    Saracen - British 6 wheel

    There is a market for just about anything......actually finding a buyer that wants it who has cash in hand is another matter. The oddball stuff is cool but brings with it a whole new set of challenges.

    The stock muffler came off the A2 and a straight stack went on.

    It will help you incur a profound hearing loss.......ask me how I know. The A2's with the turbo will be quieter than a 250 if you eliminate the muffler since the turbo acts somewhat as a muffler. It is still going to be loud enough to get attention from the powers that be in some areas. Around...

    Anybody Familiar With This Rebuild Tag Located On Engine??

    The code number on the tag will tell what modification was done to the truck (assuming you have the codes). A MWO can be anything from putting seat belts in to rebuilding major components.

    Hub Studs Sheared Off - Wrecker - Texas

    The most common culprit is the lug nuts loosen and the whole tire/rim starts wallowing around and when there is enough play the rim will start shearing off the studs. I once lost a set of tandems off a trailer because of that. It is very hard to tell if the nuts are loose sometimes. Once one...

    Go LOW and you can't go back!

    I don't see a problem with not being able to back up in Low. Reverse is a pretty low gear anyway.

    M925 deck construction?

    No idea....maybe someone else can chime in.

    M925 deck construction?

    The floor of the bed is about 1/8 steel. If you made a base plate out of 1/2 plate and mounted the crane to it you could drill into the cross members under the bed and bolt it down with some grade 8 bolts.
