pics!

ya built yourself an M48
The M48 is the standard wheel base 2.5t tractor, The M275 is the short wheel base tractor. To my knowledge they didn't make an extended or long wheel based tractor . . .

Amazing job with everything.. I have ordered some of the parts that people have listed here because of the postings of them!

Keep it up

You are correct sir! However it will always just be a m48 / m275 wanabe!

I have some pics I'll add shortly, of a few upgrades.

A few upgrades!!

Filtered Wmo transfer using in tank pump, from left to right side with inline filter/ water seperater (for polishing already filtered wmo).

Removable work light with coiled cord.

Fog lights.

Mermite can and custom fabricated mount, ( for cold beer and sandwiches!! )

 

[RAYZER]

So you run dual tanks, but only fuel from the main original tank? Thanks, Jim

That is correct sir!

Interesting setup for the WMO... any other pictures of the install or how it sits... Looks good!

Thanks! Those are the only pics i have of the wmo transfer setup, again, it's not a process filtration setup, just a transfer for previously filtered wmo into the main tank.

Upgraded the tiedowns for the mermite can, used cut down straps from jerry can holders.View attachment 397384

Thankyou Sir! There must be 1000 man hrs involved in this build, she's my main driver now and ive put around 4000 miles on her since finished.

Here's my answer for a tow bar mount, the safty chain is under there too.

It's all looking real good Ray!

 

[iatractor]

Looking good. Now this is the kind of modification that I like. It looks like it belongs in the military, yet it is practical for your use, and I love the tires.

I don't doubt that one bit.

When I first saw this truck before Ray bought it, I thought "what a piece of (insert four letter descriptive word here)". But Ray had the talent and put the effort into making it something anyone would be proud to own.

Way to go Ray!!!

Ray, did you do any reworking of the motor? Did you add any spin on Filters or make any modifications to the motor?
