    what do you pull behind your 5 ton tractor?

    The fish mouth coupling works a bit like a 5th wheel coupling. When empty, it is always closed. When you want to lock up a trailer, you put the coupling open and on sharp. Then you just drive the truck backwards to the trailer and once the trailer ring is completely in the fish mouth and hits...

    what do you pull behind your 5 ton tractor?

    I am not sure what a pintle actuator is. I removed the original pintle and replaced it with a fish mouth coupling, which are standard and obligatory in the Eu; military pintles are not allowed as coupling devices on civil trucks here. .. The dump assembly and 5th wheel assembly are...

    what do you pull behind your 5 ton tractor?

    Waiting for my veteran registration papers and until the truck has been completely restored and painted in proper colors with proper markings. Then I need to borrow a semi trailer at least once to get the feeling of how my M512A2 truck looks and drives as a tractor. = =

    Two more pages and 25 odd posts and we are over a hundred pages and thousand posts in one thread. Are those other amazing records we broke?

    Any idea when they might be getting close to discussing this? Thanks to the USA getting early into summer time, you are 5 hours behind us. That means you guys are up early. Well, you know, the early bird gets the worm. Fingers crossed

    As sponsor of the bill, can you block another amendment being attached to it? Cannot upload waiting and impatient smileys.

    It's not a deuce

    Not an expert but a Deuce in war time in a lot of situations is easier to handle and work with than a 5-ton. The here-famous Czech Prage V3S and the Dutch Daf are also in the 2 1/2 - 3 ton range. In WW II and the first part of the Cold War, that size just was easier to do. So the military just...

    It's not a deuce

    I have the same problem talked about in this thread: people keep calling my truck a REO (as in a Deuce built by Reo). My solution (not ready yet) will be a T-shirt with a Deuce and a 5-ton next to each other, with the following text: No it is NOT [*=center]a REO [*=center]a Deuce...

    Zout, let me see if I have this correct. Your list gives district numbers and house numbers. If you call the district number, you will get a clerk who is fronting for one or more house members. SS Members should call the clerk with the message to support the Bill 392 and mention that it should...

    Towing a 12 volt trailer with the deuce - please help.

    In RVs and on boats the converter is - mostly - not used directly to power applications but permanently charge a battery (or a bank of batteries). The application runs of the battery. My late brother's converted cargo boat to house boat had a set-up like that. Special start battery to start the...

    Its normal: my subscription email says that "I will not get any other email about this thread...bla bla". So you will get one notification and then nothing until you visited the thread, and then you will get another one.

    I know how the system works but which .... ever thought up this idea that you can add completely unrelated amendments to a bill to try piggy backing the amendment through? :soapbox: Technical questions on that, just interested - Can any chamber member add any amendment to any bill regardless...

    Seems to be a funny bunch there, this senator answering a technical question and going on to state that he also does not understand what he just said. Ahh, the bell is back.
