    Cargo Bed Dump Conversion Hinge Designs

    I like that hinge layout. Low profile and tied in well. One thing that i think is a big bonus on the 5 tons is my frame is well shorter than my bed. That would make tucking a nice compact hinge up in there easier. Deuces dont have dont have that option (with the bed located in the stock...

    Cargo Bed Dump Conversion Hinge Designs

    What did you hoist with? I have done a 101 with rear hinges and a winch to do the lifting. Winch was mounted on the tounge and a pedestal with pulley over it and a clevis welded low to the bed. Winch was dual function. There was a fairlead over the front edge to allow winching of the quad onto...

    Cargo Bed Dump Conversion Hinge Designs

    When it was much younger. As for lifting the bed to clear the winch just change the offset on the hinge plate and use 2x wood or square tube would be fine also maybe a bit louder when unladen.

    Whats the difference, BMY vs AM General, if any ?

    Im not a bmy guy.... that said a2 trucks are just fine. I prefer the old cummins 855 to the little 8.3 school bus motors. Ctis is great if it works... either way great trucks and superior to their replacements the fmtvs.

    M923A1 Fuel problem... Won't start!

    Yeah.... thinkin a2 for some reason i apologize. I meant no offense to your 250 by calling it a school bus motor 8.3. If you are getting fuel on the out side of the ip then id check for return flow.

    M923A1 Fuel problem... Won't start!

    So you have fuel at the engine side of the pump. Have you cracked an injector to check for fuel. Check the emergency kill linkage? are you gretting fuel returned?

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I know they are tough as ell. I think they are around 3200 tip if i remember right. I run the old case 1845 case's but they are getting few and far between. I may be going to a cat 262 next year or maybe if the price is right a bobcat 300 but theyd have to sweet talk me into a white machine.
