Well you might as well start an m37 parts weight list thread when you get around to it! I know theres 2-1/2 and 5 ton parts weight threads around here somewhere…

Plenty of cheap hanging scales on Amazon or elsewhere that will get you close enough, test with a known weight, then start picking your bed and stop if the scale hits 495lb.

I’ve had a few off-road rigs that the alternator spent almost as much time under water and mud as out of it. Yes I went through and rebuilt a few, but don’t ever remember distinctively killing one just because of submersion.

Keep listening to us and we’ll have you wanting a hemtt in no time! Let me drop this here… https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/1987-m35a2-6x6-truck-17k.215363/ Should be good truck with desirable options, and never heard of a bad experience with @98G

M939 with singles will run just under 70mph. IIRC the M35a3 struggles to make it to 55

Before you buy adapters or mount any tires mock one of those up one the front. I think that may be one of the variants that has too much backspace and hits the tie rod end. When mocking up remember your adapter will space the rim out 3/8”-1/2” depending on the adapter thickness…

Can you post a picture now that your batteries are back in, if I’m looking at the pic with them out correctly I think the small wires could still be drawing 12v off the one battery even with your disconnect between the batteries in the off position. I don’t think a disconnect between the...

You all are really making a mess of specific titled threads lately. Maybe one ot the main offenders could create or find an appropriately titled tread, then tag a moderator advising them what post number to start at to strip the chaff out of this thread, or just dump it in one of the generic...

A civy car hauler is most likely your best bet, I think the m1061 is way to much for your current truck, but if you’re dead set on a military trailer check out an m353, your tractor may be small enough to fit with some modification.

Nice! How do you have your chains held forward of the gladhands?

How much total compression force will you have at maximum compression at each mount point.

You might consider getting rid of at least half of the springs/bolts and installing some guides or link arms to keep the box from shifting to the side or front to rear under extreme forces.

What are the distance’s for your move, and to the quarry?

Clean all your grounds for the light housings.

Makes perfect sense “if” done properly. Same or more power/torque from a modern 3.0 di turbo even without electric help, compared to current derated engine. Nearly half the fuel consuming displacement at idle plus extended start/stop efficiency, and short “silent” operation with a decent battery...

Is that the wet tank?

Tank size depends on the hoist. 24 volt would be ideal. Scissor is most practical (can be found well over 10ton if you dig deep enough and have the $) for low volume electric pumps. C&C Equipment in Indiana could probably build you out for $$$. Link to my build for ideas...

Probably a good concern, IIRC most of the big gas welders where only rated at around 12k watts on the AC auxiliary. So about 30hp you’ll never use (except burning fuel) unless you’re welding as well. Would still be worth buying cheap, straighten the sheet metal out and flipping if it doesn’t...

Thats what the eye on the back of the moldboard is for. Hook a chain or strap on the back “before” you pull the anchor into the ground, then pull it out backwards with the truck.
