    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I was hauling up a load of wood and blew a tire on a single lane dirt road. I got the tire off and broke a socket taking the rim apart. The tire was destroyed so I used the excavator to break the bead loose. Much easier than what the tire shops use. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find a new O...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    You would hate Montana then. I walked into the Courthouse where the DMV is located and walked out 5 minutes later with the license plates in my hands and the title arrived in the mail about 3 weeks later. I tagged mine as a farm vehicle since I use it logging and add more GVW to the basic...

    Snow plow setup

    I was going to buy some tires from him and he said that his mother was sick in Tennesse. He left and I have not heard from him. His wife did message me several months ago when she was coming up to Kalispell for the day, but I got the message to late and she had already left. I don't know if...

    USMC Kawasaki KL650A SOLD on GL!

    I have a KLR 650 and learned about a major engine problem with the 'doohickey'. The counterbalance chain tension lever will allow the chain to come loose and destroy the engine. You can buy a kit and replace it before you have any damage and save yourself some money. Here is a website that...

    Show your 5 tons in the snow.

    I forgot where I parked my 5 ton!!! I have been looking for it and hoping to run into before Spring! Maybe I can tunnel down to it one of these days!

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I finally got my 813 running right so I can start using it. I have thousands of dead trees that I am clearing off my property. The lumber mills say my place is too remote and the roads too rough, so I am hauling all the wood off myself. Tires of tearing up pickups, so hopefully I can get it...

    NewM813 Owner Looking for Vehicle Security Tips

    I can't find the thread, but I welded up a metal box that clips over the top of the dash and covers the master switch and the ignition switch. A large pin with a hole for a lock holds it all in place. I also keep my registration and insurance papers inside the locked box. When I am driving...

    Nhc250 valve injector overhead adjusting

    Will gave great insturctions on how to adjust everything. I had read about using a socket and ratchet to turn the engine over and was having lots of trouble since the fan was in the way. Talked with Will and he told me about the Cummins engine turning tool. Ordered one on Amazon and it made...

    What would you do for a Deuce

    I got rid of my wife 15 years ago. Now I can buy all the toys I want and no one can complain. Girlfriends are a lot cheaper than a wife!

    Dump Bed Kit Installation

    A high lift jack to lift the bed up one end at a time and then run a few 4" X 4" posts across ran under the bed. Use a few 4 X 4's as uprights to hold them up. A few 2 X 4's to brace them or diig some holes for the posts. Once the bed is supported in the air you can drive out from under the...

    batteries for M923A1

    I have been wondering the same thing. The local farm supply store has some large 24 volt batteries with 1500CCA for about $150 each. I was wondering about putting them on instead of the 4 12volt batteries. My truck is pretty much snowed in for a few months so I will have to wait to do...

    Dash panel light ideas

    My girlfriend owns her own business making low voltage DC lights. She and her dad ran it for years and he passed away this summer. She fell and broke her leg, so i have been working all of my spare time to help her get caught up with her orders. Once we get her caught up I was going to have...

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    I just checked his GPS and see that he drove past me and is up near simp5782. I thought he was going to eastern Montana too. He's a days drive from the eastern part of the state.

    M747 destroyed by crooks

    I would think that they would have taken the whole trailer if they were looking for scrap metal to sell. Tow it to some place to cut it all up and get more money instead of just taking the gooseneck. So they may have just wanted the gooseneck.

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    It was in the 40's and sunny here today again. Melts some of the snow and then freezes back into more black ice. we have had lots of avalanches and a few fatalities the past few days caused by this ice under the snow pack. Becareful on the road! You may try Army Surplus Warehouse near...

    M109A4 Sub-Zero Oil Field

    SIt looks like you have been having an adventure. Montana has been getting a lot of wind and ice the past week. Watch the weather when you get back up here. I see that you have the standard steering wheel chain anti theft device. Since you will be leaving your truck out in the boonies you...
