The five-ton multifuel LDS engine has a fuel shut-off valve on the fuel pump, if that is what you mean. A pain to reach and work on.

Good remark, but we covered that. The fuel shut off rod gets stuck regularly, but we made sure it was completely back in when starting. After a few tries, we pulled it out and pushed it back in again to make sure. I think the difference between full out and back in is about 1/2 inch or a bit...

Finally getting back to work on the M51A2 1973 multifuel dump truck. And now for the first time since I have the truck, it will not start. Background: the truck has been sitting idle outside for three years. Last time I started her up with the almost gone Hawker Armysafe's after a long period...

Great truck and nice pics. There are a few good MV people around Toronto; I met two of them last year. Rusty Loads (from Toronto) even drove his Tatra to the GA rally last year, maybe you can go in convoy this year or organize a Canadian - Toronto meeting.

Too short for German. I think its Aussie, but they would say bloody dingfod and everybody would know. The german short words would be something like eisenbahnknotenpunkthinundherschieber, which states exactly what the man's function is (and we can find out who understands German here, apart from...

Talking about obese. With $ 175K as asking price, you need to sell a lot of food before earning that back. Throw in fuel consumption and other running costs and I wonder who would buy that rig. Maybe it would work for high-end special events, but even then. Nice though.

So you're nomiating the C123? Did you inform the owner?

Oops, double posted the same message. Can I delete my own post somehow?

That sounds and looks a bit like the Dutch guys were doing.

How much does that crane weighs and does it influence the balance of driving? In our over-regulated EU you probably would have to go to the DoT and get it registered on your papers as additional empty weight influencing your loading capacity. It it is not a removable item but a permanent part...

How come your tapatalkakal whatever now shows real pics instead of uploads? Idea? When you have time, just make a few real picture posts summarizing the build? Checking these tapatalk uploads gets a bit annoying. For the rest, sweet setup, :goodjob: as usual.

Can't find the pic, but when visiting Commerce Trucks Wildervank (surplus Dutch and Nato army), I saw something approaching that on a different type of truck. That truck used the same type of hand brake which is part of the drive shaft. What they had done was making a separate air circuit and...

Most are in private hands, although the state sells them off occasionally as well. I have no idea how they ever ended up in private hands, maybe as part of the 1993 restitution of properties and equipment stolen by communists, or in very early surplus sales. They used to go for around $$ 1,000...

Sweet, what kind of crane is that, any description of the building procedure? In the early days, I was thinking about removing the front rack of the dump bed on my M51 and try get a knuckleboom crane from the Czech Praga V3S military truck in between the bed and the cabin. Above the...

Even better than the original. Nice find and very nice looking truck.

Any pics of the paperclips being used during a lift of a deuce on-off a ship?

Glad I saw this, never occurred my mind. Does this go equally for the larger/stronger 5-ton multifuel? Other question. In my old cars, I start using Shell V-Power diesel. Thought about doing the same for the M51A2 Multifuel, at least in the beginning to get things clean and good running...
