Still would be interesting to see pics of that project. I was in love with the old US trucks looooong before I got my military M51A2 5-ton. If I could have chosen between the M51 or a Pete under similar price I would have gone for the Pete without a second thought. Unfortunately, its easier to...

nopics And for me personally, especially of the Pete. Which year? Why is it sitting around, just hobby or no work for it?

According the Dutch DoT, I should install special mirrors for minimizing any dead angle. Unfortunately, those mirrors are often mounted on truck door frames. Our trucks do not have fixed door frames, so I got an automatic waiver. My biggest problem is not only back view but ESPECIALLY a right...

Welcome from a fellow dump owner. You cannot overestimate the importance of good brakes. If they fail, you have 10 tonnes of dead weight running wild. It will crunch anything or anybody in front of it. The hand brake is a joke. It might keep your truck parked at a not completely straight road...

A very nice pics show on the find HERE :tank: and a short video, if you can stand the prior adverts and the bla bla. and a bit better here. The 20-odd soldiers needed over 9 hours and two tracked wrecker tanks to get the tank out and onto a lowbow.

That I understand, but why it did that only when switching to today's post and not any other link?

Did that, seems to work. Any explanation why it works?

I read the German newspapers about this, and did not get that story. However, the 78 year old guy has a permit dated 2005 for it, it has been demilled (cannot shoot) but the police is not sure if that permit is still all valid today. They are investigating if he is violating the "War Weapon...

The story seems to be a bit more complicated. Some months ago thanks to Dutch investigators later assisted with the German federal police a lot of both Nazi looted art and art that was ordered by Nazi's or made by Nazi artists and had disappeared after the war (like Hitler's bronze horses) was...

automatic crossed. but this is not logging out - logging back in. This is being logged in and trying to switch from the forum menu to the today's posts menu.

Noticed something strange while steelsoldering on my ipad. Once logged in, I can work normal as long as I stay in the forum submenu. When I try to go to today's post, the "you appear not to be logged in" page appears and the site works like I am not logged in??? Tried several times, so its not a...

She is behind the trailer, so no disrespect intended. The M720 looks like an interesting piece of equipment I could use over.

What is the strange contraption behind the truck?

EDIT remark moved to the voting thread

better a 5500 fee than coughing up 55 520 for a out-of-hand emotional auction. With the 47000 you save you can buy and repair several others

OK, that makes sense. I was looking on the M915 series (Freightliner) and there it said However, on the M939 series, to which the M923 apparently belongs, it mentions So an M915 rig could go quicker safely, but an M923 doing over 70 mph is way beyond its safety margin, not only or not...

It looks like it, but is the set-up of the dump bed similar as the M50s and the M800s? That is, the tractor has the same wheel base as the dump but only a single frame? If so, putting the dump on the tractor using its own sub frame should be easy, and the dump subframe already has the larger...

I am a safety first person also, but just for the sake of devil\s advocate and pure curiosity. I am not familiar with the 900 series but to me they always sounded more like a normal road/highway truck than the good old "real :evil:" 5-tons like the M50s and the M800s. Even when in the 1980s...

If you start from scratch, why not make it into a dump truck with troop cover as extra?

:not worthy:
