for further information,I was considering buying a non running(dropped valve) Caterpillar 955L crawler loader (on craigslist),but considering the replacement parts cost($3700 + including core charge),plus the cost of shipping it(considerable),I decided to pass.

Yes,but I decided to pass on it,repair parts exceeded the purchase price,that was not counting the under carraige parts.

Evening folks, I am putting out feelers for some possible assistance from a local or close to Waco,GA wrecker owner. I may need a roughly 36,000 pound, non running piece of tracked equipment winched up on a trailer, I have several double sheave snatch blocks and several 3/4 chains I will bring...

Cannot do that in a GMC deuce,the front axle turns in the opposite direction vs a M35.

Well,I got the M54A1C cable finished this morning,and cut,pulled,spooled and installed the 280 feet of cable on the M62A1 this afternoon. Only 3 pictures.

The 760 feet of 5/8 cable arrived yesterday,brand new US made! I got 200 feet measured out and installed on the M54A1C this evening,I'll finish the winch chain on it and take pictures of the cable on the wrecker install tomorrow. I also contacted an individual about another M51 dump...

Yes,direct bolt in to the stock dash holes,I used 4000 psi hyd hose(overkill I know,but it is what we have at work).

One of the reasons I ditched the electrical gauges and switched to this.. http://catalog.baileymotorequip.com/item/pressure-and-vacuum-gages/pressure-gages/item-1023

Update to my previous post, I will be bringing the M54A1C for sale and not the Gama Goat,as I already sold it. I also have 16 Gama Goat wheels with tires,4 or 5 have 50% or better tread with no weather checking,the others just hold air and I would not recommend for road use, $400 for all 16.

I purchased and installed 4 new group 31 stud post batteries for the dump and wrecker,plus finished adding the JD cornhead grease to the winches. I also had to change a fuel tank on the dump truck(pinhole leak I found after I filled up the tank!) ,plus swapped a level wind assembly on the dump...

No more projects,slowly selling off all of the collection.

No problem,Glad I could help.

Well,time once again to bring another thread to a close, I loaded the M561 Gama Goat on a shipper this evening,bound for it's new owner in Arizona,hopefully he will enjoy it as much as I did the short time I owned it.

Welcome to the world of the Mack powered trucks,I'll go ahead and tell you,NO ONE carries that particular J pipe for a 5 ton,the Mack engine in the 5 tons was and still is a rarity,so not many dealers stock parts for them. I have had to make all 3 of my J pipes for all my A1 trucks,it's a 3 1/2...

Not that I am aware of,I highly doubt that coming from Oregon(lots of logging going on there over the years)that they would sell less than quality wire rope. I will update this thread when the spool arrives next week.

No,no further projects,just decided to knock out some major bills,hard choices had to be made. I may stop selling after the M54A1C leaves,just not 100% sure yet.

$1.36/foot I ordered it from here www.westechrigging.com Definetly not local,Oregon,long ways from me,but cheaper than any supplier close to me,including shipping!

I ordered 760 feet of 5/8 wire rope for 2 wrecker winches(280 ft each) and 1 regular 5 ton winch(200 ft) to replace the winch cable on 3 5 tons.
