    Joined the 5 ton club yesterday with a 1985 M923A1

    M923 pickup checklist

    Takes gloves, a credit card and some Vaseline. The more time you take to preview, the less Vaseline you need.

    Road Speed 900 Series Truck?

    If you can do 65 in your M35A3, the 5ton should easy run 75 mph!

    Road Speed 900 Series Truck?

    You should be able to run 62+ without overworking the motor. Assuming it runs at all! :-D

    M931A1 vs M931A2 - Dang at 57 years old I still can't make decisions on my own! HELP!

    I really like the A2 motor over the NHC250. You can disable the CTIS- and even sell the control box and make a couple bills. Buy a good A2.

    Changing M923 to a M923A1

    It's an easy upgrade- you won't have any issues- just need muscle. Here's a 925 we changed to an A1 (and then painted:)). Final, during and after:

    Question about 105 hitch height

    I wouldn't call it a 'custom' hitch, just a simple plate to add some elevation. Good to have around. Trailer supply stores. I just towed a trailer 700 miles with it, and the lunette height is much higher than a 105.

    what do you pull behind your 5 ton tractor?

    Since we don't have a 915 forum, here goes. Has anyone seen one of these trailers before?

    Newbie Question on charging

    Series 31 heavy duty truck batteries work pretty good too. I've even grabbed a couple of cheap Costco batteries and started up many trucks.

    Newbie Question on charging

    5.4 to 6.7 volts is DEAD DEAD DEAD. Scrap yards will give you more than trade-in core value.

    Solar panels?

    The controller is in the little black box in the photo. I like them. Have them on most of my trucks.

    M871 trailer - RECOVERY

    Nice. They don't have a lot of coolness- but they get the job done.

    where can I get a 24volt charger

    I picked up a used 24v scooter charger (handicapped type scooter) and it works great for a trickle charger. Got it for less than $15 delivered. There are hundreds for sale on ebay.

    Civilian trucks come with civilian transmissions. Suggest you avoid the military stuff for your needs.
