Or a military gen with an electric power pack for the hydraulics. Then if you are using it in the yard just run a cord and no fuel burned or loud noise. I love those step/boxes. What are they off of?
No, dump was not in operation needing a radiator (found one just need to get it here) if it had been I would have winched the wrecker out with it.
Disc brakes are great on the bigger trucks. I notice a major difference in stopping distance when driving similar trucks with each system. I see why...
I have a m543 pump if you need it.
The biggest issue with a free flow pump circuit is the oil will heat up. If you don't do a ton of road miles that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Ok, so I am about to finish putting my LDS back together again. Should I use the one hole or two hole injectors? I have a set of both.
I also run a mixed bag blend of fuel. I will pull the heads off the LDT and post pics.
DH, I was loading it in the pics. I would have taken pics of unloading but it was pretty dark by then and my phone takes awful night pics.
Unloading it was very easy once it got onto the dovetail. If it had brakes I would have ridden it off!
Whistlers are ok for about 10milliseconds. Then my brain makes me escape the horrible noise.
Wreckerman, everything is done. Waiting on papers to sign. :grd:

A picture of the same model I found online
Plymouth locomotive!
1927 Plymouth DLB 10 ton locomotive. Used in the Charleston SC Navy munitions depot. Unsure of the history after that. Found in the woods at a local Ford dealership in the late 1990's. Moved to one guys house to restore, that never happened. I got it but never had a way or...
As nice a 'thought' as it is, you might not like it anymore when he realizes gas isn't having the desired affect, and puts in something that WON'T burn...
I towed one home on a m270 trailer that is 4ft high. However, it was not on super singles, and it didn't have a top, or exhaust on it. I believe it was close to 13ft that way. If you have convoy lights or wrecker spades on top of the boom it could be too high. Reducible height is for shipping on...
Got here around 1400. Busy fueling, airing tires, lining up, and fixing trucks. Can't wait for tomorrow. Too bad we don't have more drivers, there are several trucks without drivers!
