Hey woodchip, welcome aboard! This is a great site for information on these old trucks and there's a lot of very sharp people willing to help out. Now, about the M49, I have to agree with BFR on this. I wouldn't pay more than five or six hundred for it. You can find good running trucks for...

Anybody know if the shear pin for the 5 ton is the same as the deuce?

Too bad, something like that would definately be worth saveing!

'Scuse my ignorance, but where, exactly, is it located?

I know it goes without saying, but a decent set of basic hand tools should always be onboard. Combination wrench set and 1/2" drive sockets up to one inch, screwdrivers, pliers, vicegrips, hammers etc., as little or as much as you think necessary. Tire irons can double as pry bars, vice grips...

The engine in my 5 ton is 383 green and it looks ok next to the Gilespie 24087 on the rest of the truck. Just my 2 cents worth, as usual.

Check out his other items for sale. Looks like he has the decimal point one place off!

Are the tracks on the rear section powered? Almost on the order of a tracked gamma goat!

Again, as with other DMV questions, it all depends on your state and local laws and the mood of the cop you're dealing with.

Maybe it's just me, but those prices for farm damaged trucks seems to be a bit out of line. A similar auction up here a year and a half back with 30 or 40 gas deuces and 3 five tons brought 4 to 6 hundred per deuce and $1100 to $3500 for the five tonners. They all ran! The previous owners were a...

Man, that's just plain cool!!!!!

Jan 10, 5:25 PM, slower than ever, but finally connected. Glad it's not just me!

Cool, just one question though. Why did they bother pulling out the H2? I'll bet you could've driven right over it and hardly even noticed. Sort of a small obstical in a big mud hole. You can probably tell I'm not a big fan of Hummer junk!

I'm not saying the guy's a thief by any means. I'm just tired of "Let the buyer beware".

The last thing I bought off ebay was a set of the composite lights this guy lists all the time. His listing stated "No broken screws, no water sloshing around inside". There were no broken screws because no one ever tried to take them apart, and the water that had been in them had leaked out the...

whosa' moron?

Not a bad price, as long as the truck comes with it.

Man, you guys are harsh! It's a good thing you'll never see my snow plow.

Hey wallew, We have several air type bottle jacks and a couple air operated floor jacks at work. The floor jacks are a lot more stable and lift higher,but cost considerably more. The ones we have are made by Gray. I'll have to check tomorrow to find out who our supplier is, but I would...

Airmitch. Cottage Grove is 5 or 6 miles east of Madison so I'm guessing about an hour or a little more. Ron
