    Safety idea.....

    After reading this thread ---> http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/31998-towing-5-ton.html I just had a thought.....let me know what you think..... Theoretically, if the towed vehicle/trailer experiences an airline failure....it would drain both the towed vehicle/trailer air supply, as well...

    towing a 5 ton

    If you hear the low air buzzer come on......downshift, downshift, downshift & roll to a stop. It does not take long to stop unless you are going down a big hill. 2cents

    M35A2 Dump Found

    #1 - Dont tell anyone here where it is at. Or they will beat you to it. #2 - The transmission fluid could have all leaked out & never refilled......that would screw it up quick. 2cents

    M35A2 Dump Found

    Assuming that it is a "real" deuce dumper..... Offer them $1500. If you can get the dumper & engine for less than $5K, you are doing great!

    Pig cooker/smoker trailer?

    I just won an auction up in good old Ft Drum, NY. It was one lot with 4 trailers. One of the trailers I am going to be making into a Pig Cooker/Smoker Trailer. I dont know if I want to use a 275 HHO tank, or a 250-300 gallon round fuel tank. I have both here, but I dont know which way to go...

    Hauling a Deuce

    Your backhoe is longer & weighs more......so if you can pull it, you can pull a deuce. If you cant fit between the fenders, you should remove the 4 outside wheels from the two rear axles & back on your trailer. Deuces are about 8 ft wide I think.

    Deuce v. 5-ton for a bob-job

    In Virginia you are EXEMPT from CDL requirements IF you are using for personal use only. You can NOT do anything to make $$$ (including "farm use"). I have talked with the DOT officials & state police at the weigh station. Both told me I can drive my M818 w/M872 40ft semi trailer LOADED...

    Deuce v. 5-ton for a bob-job

    I like 5 tons MUCH better......but.....the front weighs a LOT more & will sink in the mud (as I recently found out.....30 seconds to get stuck, 10 hours to get unstuck). If you do a 5 ton truck....make sure you get one with a winch or you will be very sorry. 2cents
