Yeah the goal is to recreate the assemblage of structures in size and location from about 1780-1820 by using old photos and insurance atlases.
We finally got to use the outriggers. They are pretty easy to setup with two people.
It was fun. We used all 26ft. of that boom!! I don't know how...
Hi,
This is sort of a continuation of the previous thread: "M819 Saves Barn." You may remember that the original cable snapped on our previous outing so we ordered a 400ft. reel of 9/16" dia. 6x19 wire rope with a fiber core, just like the original. The crane takes exactly 105ft. with a...
The low air buzzer is probably one the most irritating sounds created by man. I feel your pain Madsam. It should be on the firewall. Just unplug it. No need for any alternate system. Just look at your gauges.
The first time I heard it, I said: What is that!? "What the f*ck is that!?"...
Excellent Job! I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm in your neck of the woods alot; is that your Deuce on Main St. in town?

A Konig's Tiger is over 12ft. wide! No wonder they needed transport tracks.
Someone should gather all engines that were ever put in Deuces and 5tons: All Multis, Macks, Cummins, Gassers, etc. and Dyno test them.
That would make for a good series of MVM articles...
Maybe these photos will inspire you to learn :) How about a 5hr. roadtrip?
Gimps right. It is very easy to take on bad habits & practices from someone who might have good intentions.
Hi,
This is an excerpt from one of the 5Ton Assembly TMs in .pdf format. It should give you an idea of whats involved. Too bad the parts list doesn't describe dimensions whatsoever.
It looks like Toonces the driving cat got ahold of those trucks. 8)

Hi,
I just wanted to share some pictures with everyone. We finally got the chance to combine saving a little piece of America's Historical Architecture with MVs. We also got the chance to use that last 6ft. on the M819's boom as well as the outriggers! Thanks Ron! That extension pole does...
