The M35A3 got them from the factory :p They have two on each front corner. It's really easy standing on a fender using a side handle to pick the hood up!

I was thinking about duals earlier, but they won't make the track any wider - still about 8 feet. @pmramsey I remember seeing your A3 like that the first time and thought it was a neat look. Later on I saw some Lebanese M35A3s with duals on them too. The ones that still had singles on them...

I'm wondering if flipping the wheels like that would damage the bearings despite the rear hubs already being flipped. Having read here about fire departments on here flipping or crashing their grass truck deuces on the account of big (or bigger) water tanks like yours, I would get a 5-ton to do...

I've never seen a bridge truck carrying a boat! Or is that even a bridge truck? I thought they were XLWB.

I just found out about Frank today :( I always appreciated his responses to the threads on here. He gave me some advice too. Hope you're having fun where ever you might be now, Frank :driver:

At least the driver didn't get squished! I know of a few flipped trucks like that which killed their occupants. That's a nice M813 - hope it gets fixed up or goes somewhere better!

Amazing how many different kinds of green iron everyone's into :p I hope that lube order helped you out, though you probably won't be able to test the power steering anyway until you get it running again!

The LO says OE/HDO 10:

What does the lube order say? I don't know off the top of my head.

I've never actually seen the power steering setup for a 5-ton. Cool!

That's basically what I started with. If you want to learn some CAD stuff so you can print your own creations, let me know - I'm thinking about offering tutoring for Autodesk Fusion 360, which has a free license for hobbyists. I'd probably do it over Skype or something. What do you plan on...

Hey, cool! A M46 machine shop truck in service!

I'm wondering about the hardtop enclosure on the back of that deuce in the second picture of the last set. It looks like an ERDLATOR back but it appears to be sitting right in the truck's bed. The tailgate is down too.

The M35A3 came that way :p The brake fluid reservoir is on the passenger side of the engine compartment firewall. At least someone at AM General thought it was a good idea later on. I think it is too having gone under a few dashboards to top off brake fluid.

Nice job! Rope burn was my first thought too :LOL: What are the steering wheels made of anyway? Some kind of plastic? I haven't looked into it.

I'm following this out of curiosity. I was under the impression that the MT654 was pretty reliable for the 5-ton. Having not done research on that bit, is reliability actually an issue?

I still want an M36 with dummy missiles in the back (y)

My dad's halftrack had a starter issue that sounded like this. Turn the key a couple times and it would spin and fail to engage. Second or third time it would engage the flywheel and start the track. Eventually it wouldn't even do that, so I pulled the starter and sure enough the starter gear...

I'm already running the bed at 100 deg C for ABS, so I don't have much, if any room left unless I can beef up the printer's power supply. I don't plan to do that any time soon. I'd rather have a print bed that heats evenly like it should. But Chinese quality will be Chinese quality :rolleyes:

I forgot to add: If you want to read about my tire project, I have a big thread about it in the Deuce forum. It's not hard to do on your own as long as you can be smart about lifting a ~400 lb wheel and can deadlift about a... 70 lb rim? I'm not exactly sure how much it weighs but the...
