    This is One Bad A** Trailer !!

    The frequently do...other shop trailers as well...usually drives up the price though.

    Dump truck suggestions...

    I agree the truck would be more adding to the collection than pulling its weight. M915 is in sorta the same boat. I can make it pay for itself a little. The biggest issue isn't initial cost its the recurring costs. I'm already paying annual registration and insurance costs on the tractor...

    mechanical pipe bending machines

    Pro-tools bender was used on extreme a few years back, I've been planning to get one for some time. Best to stick with one or two sizes as the die sets are pretty spendy.

    Dump truck suggestions...

    Yeah I thought about the belly dump option but a rear dump is more versatile. I am a jack of trades and do everything but plumbing, electrical, and HVAC (because they need special licenses). So the dump would haul everything, like demolition material, top soil, fill dirt, gravel, compost...

    How to - M916 5th wheel plate swap

    Not going to put words in Soni's mouth but I believe the running gear (wheelset) he is running on the M747 is smaller than OEM. That compiled with the shear load he uses the trailer for levels it out nice. I think he grosses 160000 with the locomotive...off top of my head I can't remember the...

    Dump truck suggestions...

    Correct me if I'm wrong but the M51 would have a Continental Gasoline Engine, unless and A1 or A2. As most I work with will tell you, I'm a big proponent of "Real trucks don't need spark plugs" I would own and old gasser though for collector sake only. Old school Dump trailers which have...

    Dump truck suggestions...

    If you had a M915 then yes M915A1 has the allison... Depending on my research I may just use a remote. IE wet kit on the trailer...

    Dump truck suggestions...

    See that's what I love about this forum. I completely forgot about a dump trailer...I can snag those for dirt cheap and register them for even cheaper. Then Mil it up... See just like I though....addicted to trailers!

    Dump truck suggestions...

    Thanks for all the suggestions, I'm sorta partial to sticking with a dump version and mod it to be unique, or at least my styling. Gimp, I'm already getting stuff together to make a 105 dump. For me I don't need a lot of material in the load so the two I listed make perfect sense. I do like...

    Dump truck suggestions...

    I'm considering adding a Dump truck to the collection. Many of my jobs this year seam to benefit from having a dump truck which I don't currently own. While it probably makes more sense to by a civi version I'd like to keep the military truck theme growing. So I'm looking for M817's although...

    Rebuilt injector pumps - maybe

    Why don't I direct your attention to those individuals with *For Sale* listed after a vehicle in their signature... Surely the intentions of posting a source and and posting an ad in your signature are different, yet one goes completely disregarded. Or why not delete threads within the realm...

    Looking for GL bid advice

    Never bid more than you are willing to lose... Good bet the vehicle will take more than double to recovery and make useable. A total invest ment of 3 times the winning bid is a good start. If you have 3000 I wouldn't bid over 1000, is what I'm saying. Not bitter at all...just stating the facts

    M109 maximum angle?

    Rollover formula LA=V2/Rg (Lateral Acceleration = velocity squared divided by the radius of the corner multiplied by gravity). LA represents lateral acceleration which is expressed in terms of G-forces. It's a factor that's measured by calculating speed and the radius of any given turn (R).
