After reading this thread ---> http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/31998-towing-5-ton.html I just had a thought.....let me know what you think..... Theoretically, if the towed vehicle/trailer experiences an airline failure....it would drain both the towed vehicle/trailer air supply, as well...

If you hear the low air buzzer come on......downshift, downshift, downshift & roll to a stop. It does not take long to stop unless you are going down a big hill. 2cents

I thought that water buffalos were aluminum? :?

This is a "deuce dumper" (M342) -----> M35 For Sale. Deuces for Sale Turbo Diesel, Army Trucks, Logging, Heavy Trucks, Off-Road Big Trucks, Four Wheel Drive

#1 - Dont tell anyone here where it is at. Or they will beat you to it. #2 - The transmission fluid could have all leaked out & never refilled......that would screw it up quick. 2cents

Just use a canvas tarp from Tractor Supply. Thats what I am using to make my bikini deuce top this summer :) Like cranetruck did ---> CANVAS BIKINI TOP FOR THE M35

Assuming that it is a "real" deuce dumper..... Offer them $1500. If you can get the dumper & engine for less than $5K, you are doing great!

I just won an auction up in good old Ft Drum, NY. It was one lot with 4 trailers. One of the trailers I am going to be making into a Pig Cooker/Smoker Trailer. I dont know if I want to use a 275 HHO tank, or a 250-300 gallon round fuel tank. I have both here, but I dont know which way to go...

I think that you need to get a different speedo cable. 2cents

Did you get my emails?

Paint it green or camo!

Mike I will PM you a list tonight! I can pay you as soon as you get back in town :mrgreen:

:ditto: If its been sitting for years you will need.... Oil/filter change = $100 Fuel filter change = $30 10 tires/tubes/flaps = $1000-$2000 Gear oil for all 3 axles = $100 DOT5 brake fluid = $50 etc etc etc It might not be a "steal" @ $1000! 2cents

Your backhoe is longer & weighs more......so if you can pull it, you can pull a deuce. If you cant fit between the fenders, you should remove the 4 outside wheels from the two rear axles & back on your trailer. Deuces are about 8 ft wide I think.

Here you go ----> M109 RV/Camper Truck Project EXCELLENT conversion by a member here. 2cents

In Virginia you are EXEMPT from CDL requirements IF you are using for personal use only. You can NOT do anything to make $$$ (including "farm use"). I have talked with the DOT officials & state police at the weigh station. Both told me I can drive my M818 w/M872 40ft semi trailer LOADED...

I like 5 tons MUCH better......but.....the front weighs a LOT more & will sink in the mud (as I recently found out.....30 seconds to get stuck, 10 hours to get unstuck). If you do a 5 ton truck....make sure you get one with a winch or you will be very sorry. 2cents
