Once we figure out the proper motor size and if a propane forklift will do the job. I am think having a foot throttle would be great to help on cable in and booming up. Not sure how to make a foot throttle work if the pony motor is mounted on the truck bed? Would the motor need to be mounted on...

Toby thanks for all your help and talking it over with me on the phone. I will work on getting the output hose ID for you. Once we all can start with the facts, then we can develope a proper plan. I have a few options on power plants. I have the engine I posted earlier and an old 4000 LB propane...

I like the idea of a Miller Trailblazer. Really nice units and then you have power and a welder on the truck.

It is only a 60 hp motor. It would be better in a jeep though.

My buddy has this rebuilt Diesel engine. I think it would work great on the wrecker.

I am buying a wrecker from my buddy and I would like to run the rear section off a pony motor. I have been following this thread, but it doesn't seem like we are getting anywhere. Can the rear crane and rear winch be run off a small diesel motor? What HP would it need to be? Would an electric...

Suprman has lots of parts and component for these if you need anything. Supr cool guy too.

I have twe different ramps for my trucks. One is a commercial grating style loading ramps and the other is a two piece ramp that can bolt together as a loading ramp or separated to load a car. Both are 14+ feet long. Both are heavy but I am glad I have them.

A group of re-enactor in Nj has a replica Stug they use. Great bunch of guys too.

Oorah!

I work on a lot of A2s and they are always low on coolant. It is important that you check your coolant before every trip. Well always check all your fluids. Your coolant should be filled to the bottom of the fill tube in the expansion tank. If you see a drop then find the leaks. I have seen a...

The engine is definitely NOT making 400hp if it is set up like my buddies. Does yours have a single fuel feed like to the heasds? A dual feed line kit from Pittsburg Power is a good place to start and you can send them your pump to have it rebuilt and turned up properly. If you add a FASS to...

RTV will do the job. Glad to see you are trying to keep it original and you are following the TMs

glad to see the new motor has a good home and still laughing about seeing you gave the old soldier a proper funeral ;) I have taken 5 ton clutches to be rebuilt. it will save you money, if you can find a rebuild shop. Adjusting everything is in the TM.

Good idea! I see the hand throttle cable bind them up too.

sounds like you have done your homework. good to see your checked all of those things first. As a diesel mechanic I would say the Injector pump is the next step. Buy a new one that was never run or have yours rebuilt. The cost will be about the same, but you can have your pump turned up when you...

I am bobbing a M931 for a customer. He wants me too use 5 ton front springs. It should be interesting. I think front springs are designed for the front of a truck under a engine. But the customer insists and it is his truck.

Nice work.

The engine is ready to go back in but, I have to put it on the back burner. I just got hired for a M931A2 bobber build and a M923A2 four door bobber build.
