I know there is a handful of folks on here from Brazoria County and the surrounding area. We are supporting the Brazoria County Fair Parade on Oct 16th with several of our vehicles.
Anyone interested in participating? If you do not have a vehicle but want to attend, feel free to ride with...
I have used the deuce bobbers around the farm for a few years and they have been adequate tools but this weekend I used a 5 ton to deal with some downed trees from the storm.
All I can say is WOW... Just WOW! One of the root balls was taller than me! These trucks are in a completely different...
I got tired of feeding the mosquitoes and came back in but I am puzzled. I was putting the new cargo covers on the M923 and the M925 but they look like they do not fit. I checked the PN against GMA and they are the correct kits for these trucks so it is me...
Front to back they fit fine but...
Do these units share the same chassis? I think they are the 406 platform but what I am asking is can an HMMH be easily converted to an SEE and can an SEE be easily converted to an HMMH?
I am looking at an HMMH and want to be able to put a front end loader and backhoe on it as needed.
Justin...
Anyone of you custom builders thought about converting your wedge air brakes to any of the new air disc brakes on commercial trucks?
They make 19.5, 22.5 and 24.5 versions. May be an interesting upgrade to do the the new set of axles I am putting under the M923 before they go under...
Justin...
Anyone have a Ferret near Houston or Dallas? I friend is looking to buy but wants to "see" one first. I will be happy to buy any takers a slab of dead cow for their time.

FYI All,
The t-case in the M939 trucks has a .732:1 high range ratio instead of 1:1.
This is a difference of 15 mph at the same rpm.

I have been racking my calculator and brain to figure out HOW my M925 runs 60 mph at 1850 RPM.
When I calculated 1850 RPM / 49" dia / 6.44 ratio I got 40.87 mph. The GPS says this is not true.
I got to digging...
The axle ratio is 6.14 so that is an easy fix but the numbers still do not...
I have an M901 3/4 ring that I am going to mount on my M925 truck.
Does anyone have any specs on the (qty 4) legs that hold the LWS on the M939 trucks?
Are the door jam leg mounts the same for driver and passenger sides?

Has anyone put a set of Alcoa 22.5X14 and 445/65R22.5 XZL on an M800 series or M939 series truck? Any pics?
I have seen the pic of the red/black bling M931 but they were skinny tires/wheels. I am asking about the super singles.

OK, Soni has really caused me some sleepless nights. I am laying here staring at the ceiling tonight and I thought "why not the M925?"
We have all seen the M920 Soni has built. Very useful and well thought out truck.
I have been looking for an M920 to trick out as a heavy recovery vehicle...
It looks like the bench seat in my M925 has been removed from the battery box top and replaced with a radio mount and bucket seat. I would like to replace the bench seat for the extra room.
Bruce, Chris, Jason, etc... anyone have a bench seat assy from the battery box top up that I can buy...
OK guys... let the ribbing begin. I can not figure out how to operate the hydro winch on my M925. :oops:
I put the tranny in gear and held the brake while I pulled the PTO lever to engage then put the tranny in neutral.
I can hear the PTO working but when I pull/push the line in/out lever...
Changing the fuel filter on my M925 (855 Cummins). I have the NAPA number (3401) for the 800 series (855 Cummins) fuel filter.
Do both of these trucks take the same filter??

Anyone have a lead on a 5 ton parts truck with rear air bag suspension. There were truck frames that came out of MS but I can not find them.
I need a complete rear frame section w/ bags etc.

I have no idea what I just bought but I love it. It appears to be a 5 ton ESP truck. 7 speed Allison and Caterpillar motor. The truck is made by AM General and it is listed as an M923E3.
Any ideas? I would LOVE to find some manuals for it.
I was cruising a 60mph at 2100rpm on the way...
