    A Frame Crane(s)?

    There is a big difference The lift arms are designed for lifting. The three point hitch lift arms ability are limited by the hydraulics of the tractor, they should stop lifting before things really go bad. You will actually lift the front end first and to counter this you add weight to the...

    A Frame Crane(s)?

    A pesky thing called work got in the way of me responding quicker. It is funny how you can change the geometry and increase the loads by an incredible factor.

    Needed assistance, New M920 owner Ele problem.

    The 7155 is a cat transmission. Some people love them, some hate them. If you love them that has a habit of ending if you ever have to work on it or find somebody to work on it.

    What have I done now?

    Then you need a bigger driveway, or better yet a garage big enough to fit several. And do not forget your right hand man to lift the heavy parts. It is addictive and they just multiply by them selves.

    What Is the distance from the end of the outer tube to the foot? What is the distance of the exposed screw from the nut to the gear? I am wondering if the foot was welded on last and may be covering a pin or stop of some type that was put on before the foot was welded on

    Singling out the rear of a 5 ton

    Since you are using the vehicles to transport passengers you should be subject to the same regulation as a bus company, dot compliance. This being said any modification to the suspension should be approved by an SAE engineer and done by a reputable shop The springs are one way to go but you...

    Low air pressure buzzer is dead.

    There are several problems with this thinking. The first problem is a lot of the dot guys are ex military. The second problem is that if the officer has a question they can simply ask for help or Google it Not having an operational buzzer is a red flag, and why do you want to give them any...

    It is a federal law and nothing to do with the state.

    Low air pressure buzzer is dead.

    The requirements of the drop flag, light, buzzer or multiple have changed over the years. The end result is you are required to keep all the items the vehicle was built with operational or the vehicle is out of service. On my civilian trucks they have both the buzzer and a red light. The...

    Any cdl drivers needing ride from Kansas to California after the first of the year?

    Dootson in arcadia has the pay as you go plan. They do not mandate the amount of time, or money, that it takes. Unless you are on the GI bill. They will work with you until they think you can pass, then you get to take the test. It took me one month and one test at DMV. My suggestion is to...

    Any cdl drivers needing ride from Kansas to California after the first of the year?

    I looked into this several years ago when I needed to get a new CDL. CA does not require the DMV examiners, or CHP commercial officers to have a CDL. Competency varies widely between personnel. When taking the test it is recommended that you use a truck they are used to seeing, hence a CDL...

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    One thing to consider is that the transfer case and two extra axles amounts to a lot of parasitic drain on the horsepower and MPG. I have driven several trucks that had the same engine and transmission in them. The difference between the trucks is one was a two axle rear wheel drive dump and...
