    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    We actually participated in winter this year with a full week of this including snow. Only problem is we have 20 ton Air Conditioners and 5 watt heaters, Good thing it will be back in the 70's Monday

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My CAT Dozer draws 60 amps on a long crank with 2/0 cables I cannot get a reading on the 8.3 as it fires right up as soon as the starter engages. Apparently the high/low setting on meter is not working. If you are drawing enough to worry about burning out a switch you need to look at your...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    It is a flush mount switch but I cut a hole out of the battery box and just put the front housing through to minimize visibility. I will tape it off and paint it to match the box and hopefully it will almost disappear. Also with it being through the cut hole it allows outside access to the keyed...

    Installed a keyed battery selector/cut-off. I am running four batteries but now I can isolate group 1 or group 2 or lock them in the off position.

    Went on a camping trip in Ocala National Forest. Lots of trail riding and wildlife, Could not get the camera out quick enough to get the bears but they were healthy

    Went ahead and did some maintenance and mods. Changed the fuel filters and got a new belt, Had no idea the belt tensioner pulley was touching the back of the water pump clutch Also installed a couple of cameras to aid in the gracefulness of its maneuverability

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I am not so much OEM but what is going to work best for the price. I was looking at linear actuators but the safety factor will not work. What I really want is a Lodar wireless control for hydraulics, A 4 function control is $900 though so I can handle using the cab controls for now until I come...

    The only person to come through on even having a line on the A2 cab control was up near Elvis and that was his reason for the price. Only one company makes the A2 control and it would have to be ordered new.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Finally finished up the winch install. It was not difficult hands on work, just getting all the correct parts together up was a job. Finally found a A2 cab control housing for the low price of $591.25 from a vendor so that sparked enough motivation to modify the A1 and make it work. I tucked it...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    What a terrible loss, I cannot even imagine ever having to go through that. I lost my Father in an accident in 07 and I still pick up the phone to call Him sometimes, like when I got my first 5 ton. These trucks are a great get away and I always "forget" my phone inside while I am out working...

    Put winch install on hold long enough to get thru the parade and bring home 1st place with a little help from my brigade.

    https://www.fastenal.com/en/22/third-party-logistics-(3pl) Have used them several times. They ship from store to store. It took 6 days to get my last shipment. They are not going to bring it to your place and you need to call your local location about dropping off or picking up.

    Fastenal is the ticket on shipping items like that, I shipped a 2200 pound Caterpillar engine from Indiana to Florida for $275 on their 3PL

    Local to me CL ad has dropped price to $700 for 800 series winch setup. https://jacksonville.craigslist.org/for/6163358838.html If someone needs it I could go and look at it to verify and pickup if they paid for it and hold until a show or shipping is arranged. Jeremy
