    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Is this truck sort of a holy grail of 10 tons? Did the PO know what they had? On another note it would look good with a piece of towed Artillery behind it....

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    My truck has two air filters because I'm planning to install a turbo in the near future and that turbo sits in the spot where the heater should be. Because the heater will have to be relocated to the driver side I decided to give myself a challenge and put the heater in the driver side air...

    How do I mount an M60 on my 1919 mount on my mule?

    Not sure if this is the same but it's an M60 on a mule that I saw at a show:

    Does anyone have a dragon stencil painted on their truck?

    I got some paint mask stencils from Rick Larson and added the old unit ID numbers to the front bumper using 3" tall characters.

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    Today I drilled and tapped the stock manifold and installed the temp probe. The interrupted thread NPT tap (the black one) made easy work of the cast iron and it all went off without a hitch. The wiring is hooked up and I connected power to the gauge - now all that is left is taking it for a...

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Truck looks really straight- very nice! As far as being complete goes, is it missing anything?

    M125-A1 Cargo Truck Cummins V8 300 Powered

    Sweet! So is this the only M125 with the V8-300? I've heard of M123s with this engine.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    There was finally a lull in the breeze long enough to get some stenciling done.

    New pyrometer & boost gauge pod install

    It looks like I could make you a gauge pod for $48. The extra setup cost for loading the special roller dies into the press brake adds a little more than I was initially thinking.

    M813a1 turbo help

    I haven't messed with them yet but from what I've read most of the manifolds are mounted upside down so they could be the same as you're seeing just upside down. Here is a good thread with lots of turbo installs of different configurations: M809 turbo installs Here is a compilation of the...

    Looking for pics of m813 next to normal cars

    I'd say about 5 years old or more. I remember seeing active Ebay listings for those about that long ago. Edit: the tan 4x4 was from May 2013 according to their Facebook page.

    3 Jake heads under a stock M809 hood!!!

    One last add-on that I just finished (sorry it's not a video of jakes operating) The reservoir tank lost its support bracket when the lift hook got removed for clearance so I finally got a new bracket made up to take its place. The new bracket is a slimmer, ambidextrous, 10 gauge version of...

    Looking for pics of m813 next to normal cars

    Not an M813 but just for fun. That's a real car on the back.

    I took my kids in the 5 ton to their school's end of year parade to say farewell to their teachers!
