I've seen it in person, twice! once at Jackson and at Brandons! It is a nice tractor. Too bad he's going to butcher it and put a silly mack engine that only takes one kind of fuel, the expensive kind! lol
Sorry to hear that, everyone was looking forward to it (probably not as much as you guys were but...)
You could have it on a shoestring budget and then have the real one later...
Paint it that morning so it is dried on the ride up!
Rick, glad to hear you're still going! yeah, would be nice to ride with us all the way, but that is a tad bit out of your way.
We will get all this figured out and have a better idea of when we will hit I-75 as we get closer and others...
Angie wants to paint it 3 color. Might buy some walmart special and just spray bomb it for now.
Wouldn't take long to make it 383 green though...
Could camo it later
Hey everyone,
Anyone in the south east or along the way want to convoy up to Haspin? So far it looks like it will just be me and JP (EMD567)
Hoping to gather up others. I will have deuce fuel available for $3.00 a gallon if that helps anyone.
If you want to go, but don't have a truck, take...
I maybe hauling a deuce down that way in the next few weeks- I live right around the corner from Eastover so I could at least pick it up and hold it until you find a shipper, or I might be able to move it if I move that deuce.
I'm resonably sure that the dog bones are the same as a 5 ton already... my M967 tanker has the same boogie set up as that trailer and it has 5 ton dogbones...
Just saying... I'd check first.
Nice looking trailer! just HEAVY!
My wife rebuilt the MC in her 1963 M37b1, in our living room! Napa part #1. I think it was like $13...
I also found the wheel cylinder rebuild kits on Ebay, set of 4 for like $25...
How much cheaper are you wanting to go? Brakes are not an area you should think about skimping on...
The...
Are there only one set of lights? if so, the 12v connection will run right to them, and the 24v connection has the resister. I recommend putting LED lights on the trailer. Not only are they brighter and last longer, they are omnivolt, meaning that you can run 12v or 24v and they work the same. I...
I love that truck.... can't get over it everytime I see it, I want to build one so bad.
I have seen them all three ways-
amber one sided facing front, amber one side facing rear, and amber and red with red facing rear. I would think the amber one sided facing front is kind of redundant...
If you didn't get any fire whatsoever on ether, you have 3 posible issues-
1- the engine has lost all compression or most of it. several things might have happened to cause this, all of them pretty bad
2- the path for air to enter the engine is totally blocked. No air, no fire, no ether...
Congrats guys! awesome looking wrecker! I tried to use mine last night and the hard line going to the hoist motor blew a leak. On a side note the D600 WVO collection truck looks shiny new!
I have been wanting one for awhile now, as many pickups and recoverys I do for myself and others. Just can't justify the prices I've seen.
I made a quick set with some angle and two rear LEDs. Work ok but I would like to get the real deal or build something very close one day.
That is a nice...
