Don't know about the 900 series, but the M51 has a special dump sub-frame. The pump and the tank for the hydraulics and the cylinders themselves are mounted inside the sub-frame, space enough.

Nice truck. Is that a Volvo PV444 behind the truck?

That is a great truck, were they ever in Europe? I want one.

If I might add: yes but...sometimes it does not

Good call on getting the belts in. We are thinking to transport people in the back of our 5-ton as well. This would be driving through our little town and to the Iron Curtain - Cold War exhibition along the former Iron Curtain only half a mile out of town. For passenger safety (most important)...

Most older European trucks used to have a simple receiver with a holding pin in the front bumper, not really sticking out like a pintle hook. When I was driving trucks as student to earn a bit of extra money, we were driving container trucks with trailers in night shift. Backing them up to the...

I am no bobber, but this is a modification I might look into. Did anybody ever did this with a 5-ton M39 series?

Just came across this old thread trying to find my own thread back quickly. Was not with Reomie this year, but last year they still had enough stuff and prices for scrap or driving trucks were still high enough for me to swallow and walk away. Most of this stuff goes out to Africa. They...

Just found this thread back, showing some of their stuff and a remark of them sending stuff.

Try Reomie in the Netherlands, just across the water. For whatever reason, their site is off the air for me just now, but I know they ship goods all over the world. I got all my filters there. Don't have the bills here so can't check the prices, but they were not bad compared with what I heard...

Thanks, I could not find good examples yet. Name history was in the WIKI on Kaiser - Kaiser Jeep history. I was interested in it because we have one.

The winch actually looks like a maritime item to me, certainly looking at those two side-slips on each side of the actual winch. I saw similar but much older winch sets on the old ships that carried cargo through the Dutch canals. Some older sailing boats might have similar winches. I will try...

Thread has moved on while I was sound asleep (due to the odd 7 or more hours time difference) hence the late reply. Tires are 11x20s, not 9x20s. Kaiser name "The company changed its name to Kaiser Jeep in 1963. By 1969, Kaiser Industries decided to leave the auto business, which was sold to...

Is this specific for the 800 and later series or do the M51s have the same problem? I am asking because a full brake system overhaul and maybe installing a double system is second on my list (steering problem is first).

Sir, I stand corrected:not worthy:

Thanks, it does. Sounds logic, but shouldn't you get more M35,s there then? Then again, did not check that carefully. Following it, I did noticed that some GL posts mentioned 2 1/2 ton and some 2.5 ton With the second, you indeed could get the "5-ton" mistake. For a computer nerd, it's very...

Unloading A free moment to upload some more pictures. The transport started driving from Rijssen, the Netherlands Monday morning. In the end, he arrived in Trebon and we hooked up around 13 PM Tuesday. It is only 900 km (560 miles) but Europe has very strict rules on driving and resting time...

Looking at the 5-ton section and saw the announcement of an M35 A2C in there (hope this is not against rules). This wil probably happen more often. Now the 5-ton fans will ignore this item and most of the deuce fans will not find it. Is this the moment to get an unexpected cheap deuce?! Too bad...

Me and my big mouth :shock: Will try, but these weeks are too busy for us with the museum to do much beside it, has to wait till August.

Seeing the picture of the dump in action, I first got confused on the single action cylinder and the cargo-like bed without the front part that sticks out over the cabin (is there a name for that part?). Then realized its a deuce and not a five ton. What vehicle type you have, an M47, M59, or M342?
