BUMP. Maybe we can make a video of this at the GA rally? The link of ke5eua only shows five-speed shifting in a deuce, not 10 speed shifting in a 5-ton. I am especially ointerested in the full possibilities of the 5 speed combined with this particular low-high gear.

Before I forget, please help remind me to take this back!!! Does somebody working a lot with 5-tons or Deuces or whatever American saves his/her old screws, bolts etc? Especially those for the door panels or dashboard and bolts for keeping the engine kill cable in place etc??? Or can you get...

Put some of this partly in other threads as well, hope the moderators will cut me some slack here (thanks). I have a free baggage allowance of 50 Lbs including the suitcase or bag itself. Heavier between 50 and 70 lbs costs me another $150, an extra bag of 50 lbs costs me $200. So I have to...

I will be flying into the USA not earlier than Saturday and not later than Tuesday. Departure date is still completely free. I can still change my airport destination. Anybody needs to get an extra car to the rally or does not have time to drive it there themselves, let me know. Can be also be...

Something I want to discuss at the rally as well. Did anybody ever modified the M51 dump hydraulic system to make it multifunctional? Moving the pump and reservoir On the M51, the hydraulic pump is driven by the rear PTO. It is connected to the subframe, same as the reservoir and the dump...

Keep me in the loop on this, ideally we should have some shots from both the drone and the ground video at the same spot more or less, so we can play around and fuse the material together later. I will bring the video and the Nikon, but NO tripods. Anybody can take a stable tripod for the...

Could you do that on the Rally? I never managed that either (but my experience with those combo's is very limited) Few yards straight back I managed, but for all maneuvering I took the trailer "on the nose". Wreckerman, that contraption would almost certainly be not legal in Europe. Fifth...

Anybody having a surplus 5-ton M5x-A2 air pack laying around? How much does that thing weighs? Mine is OK but I want to rebuild-restore it and put a second air-pack next to it to make a dual system. New is too expensive and I think that with help here locally a rebuilt should be easy. I am not...

Thanks for all the great replies and offers guys and galls. It must be clear that I don't come over just to spend some time with some old farts and youngsters on steroids driving around with old MVs. This I can do here as well. Its clear that there are some pretty special good folks around on...

Bump, I need a link to please. Too much things happening here in too short time, no time to go through all posts to find it back.

Dnepr and Oeral bike are sold here but if it is old stuff, getting parts here would mean the veteran circuit and they are not cheap either, if they have it at all. Then again, this new russian stuff is often identical to the old russian stuff, who knows.

Help????? I tried to find the travel thread but even google and looking at my own recent posts came up empty? Maybe too exited to do it good (the steak and the Czech champagne bubbles does not make me work better). Maybe a link in the first post to all related threads?

TATRA or other parts needed from Europe Who needs parts from European trucks, especially Tatra or other Czech stuff or GAZ? I have a 23 Kg luggage allowance, and for $ 75 another 23 kg, as long as it is not too bulky. I need about 5-8 kg for my personal stuff, so can bring some stuff to the...

If a crazy Dutchman from the Czech Republic can make it, what more excuses do you need?

OK. It's final (barring sickness or the DHS). Things were stringing out here like there's no tomorrow with all kind of lines crossing etc etc, making decisions difficult. Whatever, we had a long talk about it and a hard look at the tight finances but I got the blessing of the CiC. She...

Yeaaaaaa ... :jumpin: ... :naner: ... :twisted:... :naner: . .. :doghead: .. :mrgreen: .. :papabear: .. [thumbzup] ... :clinto:...... :beer:

I made an emergency stop when the DoT inspector asked me to on a test ride. I warned him that it might be too good. He would not listen so almost hit his head to the windows when I stopped the truck extremely good and quick. That is not the point. The system functions perfect even today...

Why NL, looks, more to NI to me. All the posts mention the letters in capitals, so if that is the standard, it looks more a capital I then a capital L. NL is the abbreviation for Nederland, or the Netherlands :-P

Like the posts above, the main reason for me (M51A2) to want to upgrade before going on the road is the single circuit. The problem is not that in itself the brakes are not good enough to stop the truck when all is OK. The basic problem is that even a new system can blow a seal or break a flex...

Thanks for the advices guys, 2XL it is, PM sent
