Great music with it, from what is it? That truck is almost as strange (ugly) as the "FAT DAF" truck. Love it. Then again, I am a sucker for Canadian stuff

I also have the old Ross TM, if you need it send me a pm

I had problems with the steering as well with the old ROSS steering system. Some links: my own M51A2 steering problems A nice video about the Ross power steering: not sure it works still and a new one from another member

Feuerwehr? The truck comes from Germany?

I like how they start with the time frame context before talking about utility. For showing some history, not a bad video at all.

At least in 5-tons, master cylinder has ONE and airpacks have TWO bleeding points.

The older I get, the more know thats not true. Now I am getting old (or at least pensioned) I just know I know nothing. And I am secure in that knowledge.

Now there is an easy restore project for a sunny afternoon. Good wash and more or less ready it seems. Are you thinking about contacting the WWI museum or any other WWI history museum or organization to get some info on use during the war?

That's really old history, could actually be towed by horses.

That's a good observation. I was watching the Ice Road Truckers, and you see these people jumping and being jostled around the cab on those bad roads. I think they are driving without seat belts as well and was wondering about that. Being thrown through the cab is not actually the best form of...

First, MTVR and your brother and al other LEOs and first line support people here, certainly in this times: :not worthy:. Forget about the words in the smiley, just see the bow: thanks to all of you for the very hard and difficult work you do under emotionally circumstances. In Europe, we...

Does a MWO applied to all trucks of that type makes it as of that moment, legally at least, an OEM issue? I would say that it is something similar to a factory recall for private cars.

Technical Manual (TM) MWO 9-2320-200-35-1 Modifying Working Order effective date 1 October 1988 and completion date is 30 November 1992. Modification of 2 1/2-Ton and 5-Ton vehicles. . My M51A2 got the seat belts while in the POMS depot in the Netherlands, in 1991.

Hit a concrete bridge part once in 1985, with 50 mph, something like an off-center frontal accident, on the driver side. Thought I could stretch out the hood and continue until I saw the front driver side. Front wheel was more or less folded against the cabin. I did not had anything apart from a...

Anyway, shortened the rod linking the control box and the rear transfer shifter, and tried to straighten out the PTO lever on the box. Almost there and then this The lever broke!! auaauaauaaua On the right, a bit hard to see, you see that on top there is fresh brake marks, but most of the...

What surprises me is that an engine with that kind of damage runs at all, and with so little "damage noise". If a sleeve disintegrates like that, doesn't that mean that one cylinder is more or less wobbling free through the block, and the diesel mixture exploding directly into your block?

That's the real orange one I was talking earlier over. In the Netherlands, yesterday was "Kings Day", or better said, "Orange Day", a national celebration day to celebrate the birthday of our reigning monarch. Normally, the whole of the Netherlands more or less colors orange and changes into...

Migginsbros, what's the 5-ton dump truck in that pic, also yours? Is it an M51A2, like mine?

Jeff, that noise wasn't too bad, now its time to :grd: although to be honest, sometimes an old as+-is truck is nicer and has more esprit than a perfectly restored better than brand-new looking 77 year old truck. What is your final plan for this beauty?

Dump hoist control box, some better pics. First of all, the control box lever moving the shifter shaft for the PTO is slightly twisted. It is a bit removed from the box, I was already trying to take it off before making the pic. More important. looking at the pics in the TM and the different...
