Every body don't have a M816? Tell me it ain't so. If you have some thing bigger than a jeep or a Mutt in the yard, You need a wrecker. It stands to reason. It is written some place
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Or just use the M816The best way I've heard of is to take four 55 gal drums. Jack the bed up and put pieces of pipe between bed and frame. Hook the bed to a tree or something and pull forward a couple of feet place two drums under the bed overhang off the back. Pull forward again until the bed is almost at the end of the frame. Place the other two drums under the front end and then pull away.
I've got a big forklift myself but if I didn't this is the way I'd do it.
That's right. The farther you move the hoist back, the less it will lift weight wise. It will go up faster and dump at a steeper angle though. It also puts more stress on the hinge and bed frame the farther you move it back. Where ever you put it has tradeoffs. You just have to put it where you feel is best but I wouldn't mount it any farther back than is necessary to get the dump angle you want.Nosliw with the rear most mounting position, wouldnt it make it faster rather than lift more?
Shipping was quick. Ordered it on Thursday and it was at my work on Tuesday.Nosliw with the rear most mounting position, wouldnt it make it faster rather than lift more?
I ordered mine 3 days ago. Shipping was 128 to my house i will have to get a forklift to take it off the truck.
How long did it take to ship?
You havent happened to time how long it takes to dump have you. I sure am itchy to know the speed of these thingsYeah. I finished mine a week or so ago. I can take some pics of the aftermath. It was easy though. You shouldn't need much guidance. just be sure the hinges are centered on each frame rail and the height is correct. you want to make sure you raise the hinges high enough to clear the 3/4" wooden strip, but not so high as to raise the bed off this strip. mine are a little tall. i can see a little light between the bed and the top of the wood strip near the hinge.
That was definitely a coincidence! It was nice talking to You.I was randomly stopping for gas while on vacation, some 300 miles from home. pulled off at some exit near winston-salem. saw a slick deuce with a dump pull in for fuel and it happened to be dieselking22!
talk about coincidence!
it kinda freaked me out after i left! lol
corey, it was good to meet you and talk. wish i could have hung out longer, but had to get back home to ky!

How much PSI is your pump putting out? When I first installed the dump on my deuce, I had a heaping load on and it wouldn't dump it without removing some first. I checked my pump, and it wasn't putting out but 1,500 psi. I bumped the pressure up to 2,500, and I have since dumped 8 tons (yes, I know that is a little too much for the deuce, but it handled it fine).After reading helm1008's post, I followed suit and installed my hinges with the bed still on and then used the tractor to lift the bed and install the hoist.
Went to the pit and brought some sand home. Each time 5 tons was requested, but mileage may vary based on the loader operator. Three loads were emptied without issue. 4.99, 5.38, and 4.85 tons. The 5.75 ton load that was loaded more towards the cab of the truck required removal of sand with the tractor before it would dump.
Overall I should have done this install years ago...
So I can figure out how to measure it, but forgive my ignorance on adjusting the pressure the pump puts out. What would the process be for that?How much PSI is your pump putting out?
