That looks nice, any change of a schematic drawing? Do you have a free quick-connect ending somewhere as well, for external stuff or a trailer connection?

Do you have a schematic drawing and some pics of that?

I was/am still thinking about this. My M51A2 I can switch between dump and 5th wheel and I want a hydraulic leg system to lift the dump bed so I can drive from underneath it. As seen from the numbers, the M51 is a Dump truck, in my case W/W, so a front pts for the now froozen/#$%$#ed winch...

Probably everybody is still driving home, WiFi is bad there I think. Besides, they are living it, not reading about it :cry:

With COVID-19 and coming from Europe, no way I could make it this year, regardless lack of time (new job) and serious lack of $$$. With several other actions we were supposed to attend this year in the USA (Blacksmith meeting, Hereditary Cancer conference), we will definitely be coming to the...

We need some more pics of the wrecker

I also have the old Ross TM, if you need it send me a pm

I had problems with the steering as well with the old ROSS steering system. Some links: my own M51A2 steering problems A nice video about the Ross power steering: not sure it works still and a new one from another member

Feuerwehr? The truck comes from Germany?

I like how they start with the time frame context before talking about utility. For showing some history, not a bad video at all.

At least in 5-tons, master cylinder has ONE and airpacks have TWO bleeding points.

The older I get, the more know thats not true. Now I am getting old (or at least pensioned) I just know I know nothing. And I am secure in that knowledge.

Now there is an easy restore project for a sunny afternoon. Good wash and more or less ready it seems. Are you thinking about contacting the WWI museum or any other WWI history museum or organization to get some info on use during the war?

That's really old history, could actually be towed by horses.

That's a good observation. I was watching the Ice Road Truckers, and you see these people jumping and being jostled around the cab on those bad roads. I think they are driving without seat belts as well and was wondering about that. Being thrown through the cab is not actually the best form of...
