According to the TM 9-2320-211-10 max payload on the 5th wheel is 55,000lbs on pavement. Should be doable, just a little slow.

Are you sure its a Mack engine? Which model engine? The older 5 tons (M52A1) came with the ENDT-673. the newer M809 series of trucks ( of which the M818 is the tractor version) came with a NHC-250 Cummins. The M818 is longer in the hood/side panels and fenders to accommodate the longer...

If it has a Mack engine then its a M52A1 not an M818. The M818 has a Cummins engine. Unless someone did some changing of the engines. What do the data plates say?

If you look in the resources section under the tech manuals - there is a TACOM one that gives all the dimensions and weights of all the vehicles and trailers.

What truck do you have? Tractor? or what??? Does the trailer ( I assume the excavator is on a trailer) have brakes that will work with your truck? Pretty vague post - need more info.

So you bought this from Oshkosh and there is stuff that is not up to par? Did you check it out before you left?

Yep all the early and M809 series 5 ton axles are the same.

Make sure you have a lot of patience because you will become upset with GL. Its a given. For first time buyers, the EUC takes a long time. Customer service is at best good, most of the time its bad to non existent! We used to have a GL rep on site here but she could not ever answer our...

google is your friend: Trailer Parts Superstore - Gladhands & Hose Coupler Parts then get some pipe fittings to adapt it to what ever you want, air hose etc.

Never heard of a 6 speed M35A2 but it don't mean that they don't exist! I call BS anyway. I love Napco trucks!!!

I believe the front winches are the same. Fenders and hood are longer on the M809 series (Cummins is a longer engine). Axles are the same.

OD iron or Antelope Valley has them. Note - the fronts are 1 3/4" bore and the rear is a 2" bore. I have read several posts on here about putting the 2" on the front but I also read a post from David Doyle that states - DO NOT DO THIS!! So I wouldn't if I were you.

Does it have the heaters and A/C unit in it? Or the support jacks under the rear? Looks nice.

I want the TIRES!!! :drool: they look bigger than my Jeep!!

Who is they? If you mean military surplus - then no, not likely. Just make your own. There are several threads on here about ramps.

I have run my 35" BFG's on my front Dana 30 in my Jeep Comanche rock crawler for a few years without any problems, just gotta be careful with the skinny pedal. I say 37" tires are fine if you are careful. If you are gonna upgrade - go all the way with one ton Dana 60/14bolt FF axles.

Go to the 5 ton forum and read alot of post there. like this one: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/5-ton-up/57915-m52a2-all-wheel-drive-question.html

no, probably a M54, no passenger side tank. I thought M52's had dual tanks?

the white one in front looks like a M52, with a modified windshield and added winch.

its the invisible jet Wonder Woman used to own!!:grin::driver:
