Hauling twelve loads of the road milling for top of the driveway. They let me chose the pile I'm being loaded from so I chose the clean, no dirt, few chunks and heavy on the tar, pile. Cost $30 a load....can't beat that. The drive is 1/4 mile. It has 60 tri-axles of ones and twos but not...

When you have just the right block, find a handy place to keep it where it cannot get away when you hit a bump.

No CTIS and tires are about 65. The XZL loaded up like a set of 177 (pun intended). At least with the trailer unhooked, I came out forward under my own power, once going. This was intended to be a joy ride through the field for my wife and her women friends. They probably took some to remind...

Found a wet spot from all the rain (5-7") in my field and stuck it (929a2) pulling the 1061 trailer. Looked solid. Low range reverse...had to use it but very gentle. Since the truck was about a foot lower than the empty trailer, I could not get the jack down to unhook. I went for the...

I saw two really nice ones going south on US 31 yesterday on the back of a drop deck, not that does you any good.

Those look like nice trucks. I liked mine... did a lot of work with it. Don't forget the radiator cover....a rock or stick into the open area would not be good and this stuff is cheap. I'd gladly give up my M929A2 for one of the 7 ton dumps.

I only suggest cleaning the control because on mine, there has always been a lot of water and debris in it and it is the source for debris in the unloader. Yes, agree that it takes pressure to make the unloader operate but at some point, when it does, that plunger can stick down and not...

I put my method of dealing with this problem on the Deuce thread where the OP originally posted (didn't see he duplicated the post). I have had several trucks with the unloader stuck open, making it unable to build pressure. Wes, remember that the unloader is pushing a plunger that keeps...

Good luck with your new truck. Recidivism in action....yea.

I hope they are round, the GY AT-2 on my M929A2 were egg shaped, probably from sitting flat for too long. Gotta love orings and CTIS.

I'll share...it's more of a description than a name. A couple of weeks ago a stray cat showed up at my back door. Unlike most that have had to spend some time surviving, it was not timid or scared. I opened the door and it came right in and then acted like I was it's best friend in the world...

I may try it. The black is my most needed for a good coat on the frame right now and under fenders and such. I just hooked up a 5 hp air compressor that I can do some light sand blasting first. I think I have a gun for primer but may buy one for the paint. I would think I could go to the SW...

Cool Jcollings. That appears to be a quart. How much did it cost? Does it have the deep flat color like the Behr does?

I have used quite a lot of Behr. I prefer the Ultra not Marquee, myself, but I'm still rolling and brushing. Lately I have been using the Rustoleum camo colors in rattle cans. They seem to match better than they used to and the black is really flat. I've bought gallons of the Rustoleum...

I wish they sold the camo colors in gallons. I take it you used RO flat black. Looks good.

Seemed like every truck I had, I had to replace batteries. I used the big 1400 8D and there was no room for the part to stick inside the box. Your's probably has more room.

Ben, where will you mount those, on/in the box next to the battery? Have you put any LED lighting in it?

Wes, are you saying to use the 9.00 on a five ton wrecker - rears and steer? Have you ever put an 11.00 on a combat rim for steer tire?

AjaxMD, The bud style rims have a lot different offset than the combat SS wheels. It is several inches wider, center of tire to center of tire with the combat wheels Vs the bud wheel. Having not measured, I would guess center to center is 6-8" wider (overall) because of rim offset difference...
