Jim, with all due respect, Please don't do it.

Why is it that the dump trucks always get trashed? :? Check out the pic below. Looks almost like the one Rick has above. I was looking at buying it awhile back. IIRC, asking price was ~ $5000 - not bad for a running 5-ton dump. . . but that thing had been "rode hard and put away wet"...

D*mn, that was fast. Mike, you are the man!

Yea!! can it be done? I like to try to read all of the posts, but sometimes it is difficult to keep up every day. A longer list would help. Thanks Mike. I know that you can get a list of "unread posts" when you log in, but sometimes when you get logged-out accidentally, you lose that list. :(

Andy, Look just above each of the pictures. Those are the links to the websites where the pictures are found. I don't believe there are any more of that particular truck, but you can have fun browsing around if you want. :wink: It's not my website, but there are a lot of great pics...

By the way Andy, BUY THE M51!!!!! 2cents :wink:

IIRC, our ol' buddy "Monster Man "(aka Lance Busch) had some video with sound on his website. Seems like that was a loooong time ago. Let me see if I can find it. . . . . several minutes later . . . boy, that was easy. :wink: Try this: http://www.buschandbusch.com/m35a2.html Scroll down...

To add some insight regarding the air filter housing: (assuming it is original, and not hacked up somehow :( ), then: 1. If it is like the picture Bjorn has shown above, (with air filter housing on the right fender) it is a -A1 (Mack Diesel) or a -A2 (Multifuel) 2. If the air filter housing is...

Absolutely Awesome. Man, I love to look at Dump Trucks. Keep up the good work, and keep the pics coming.

Those tires are worth more than my whole truck! :)

(I snipped this from another thread where rizzo was asking about weight of 5-ton wrecker- but it has relevance here ) If you haven't looked at Kenny's manual yet, you have to!!! It is loaded with hundreds of pictures, specs, dimensions, descriptions, weights, and more! Seriously, it has...
