Appels Bobbed M932/930 dump truck

[jcappeljr]

I started with a m932a2,which had 2 bad rears.So since I had replace them.I chose a A1 rear to put in there place.I don't care for the CTIS or the rear hub design on the A2 rears.Then I had a nice dump bed from a m929 I put on it.It makes a real nice 4x4 dump.I still have a couple things to finish.Like paint and hook up the winch.I used the winch valve and controls for the dump bed.I need a pic from a m930 to see how everything should be hooked up correctly.

John, that looks great! Is the frame uncut or did you need to shorten it to fit the dump bed?

Its uncut.The tractors are the same wheel base as the dump trucks.

I wanted to buy your dump bed for one of my M931A2's just didn't have time to do it. Wished I would have. Lol

Cool

That looks pretty slick! How many yards is the dump bed?

That is exactly what I'm looking to do to extra m925. I have a dump hoist off a old f700 but same idea.

Have you loaded it yet?

What did you do to solve the drive shaft issue? I'm headed down the bob road for my M930 to eliminate the third axle/fuel sticker hassles...is it better easier to alter the short drive shaft or shorten a M923 drive shaft? Any chance the M923 fits the short wheelbase bob trucks as is?

 

[jcappeljr]

I had 1 made at a driveshaft shop.

Got some paint on her..

 

[Tinydragon2001]

How does she handle a load? Now I want to do this to my m931. Steal the hydraulics and pto from my other 925. Switch between a dump and a tractor, and I'll have a wet kit if I ever get a dump trailer or a lowboy. Never seen a single axle 4x4 tractor yet.

Does look good and looks like a good axle spacing.
