I have never owned a 715 and probably won't, so I can't speak directly to your questions about it's suitability to the desired tasks but I can say that I think your optimal statement is, "always wanted an M715." What I HAVE learned is that any old vehicle, military or otherwise takes a lot of...

I'm pretty impressed with how the truck faired considering the force it took to place car parts from the offending vehicle under the bed! Having said that, if the doors are sprung, I would think it would be hard to get that truck squared up again. Good luck to you on all fronts. Guess you can be...

Take a minute to read the max speed rated on your tires (it's on your sidewalls) - I wish I had - or go find my thread on what happens if you don't. Be safe, have fun and welcome to the site!

Did you do anything to the fuel or filter before you fired it up or did it fire up on 10year old fuel?

You are definitely starting out right! Kudos to you for reading the TM's. Be sure you read the thread about the true cost of ownership. I can't remember who posted it but it is really good info. I own a 5ton not a deuce but I can say that I did almost every thing wrong on my recovery ( except...

Thanks but that was actually done to remediate some paint flaking till I can do it right. The CARC seems to flake off badly. Looks like they painted it with a broom! I would like to keep it original but I don't think the paint is going to stay on so I will probably pressure wash it and see what...

Don't generally have any opportunity to haul anything in the 925, but my son had to remove three large locust trees and get them out of the way of his construction so I had the opportunity to put some weight on the truck. It sure rode and shifted better loaded than it does empty. I didn't load...

That was awesome, thanks for sharing. What is the story on the cab of the A2 it looks like a freight shaker cab.

Wow, great job! I think you built my dream truck.

I would think about finding a new shop, a guy could get hurt (or hurt someone else) that way, not to mention how a level one inspection might turn out if the DOT decides to visit with you. In my opinion a good dot mechanic can be your best asset.

Not to rain on the parade here, cause I LOVE dump trucks but has everyone considered the insurance implications? Modifications to the insured vehicle normally voids the insurance unless you notify the carrier and I would assume they would then re-rate the policy accordingly. When I left...

The new ones are the current design for commercial use and I would expect they will work fine. Just make sure the glad hand is clean and your seal is pliable. If it leaks a bit on contact give it a minute for the seal to conform to the shape of the receiver. There are several makes with a bit of...

Thanks for the info, truck looks great!

Where did you get them, I am looking for a way to get John Deere garden tractors on my 925 to take to an inner city garden project.

Awesome, how do you get the utility vehicles in the bed?

Not sure what you are running it in (1993 M35A3C Maybe?) but I can tell you that the transmission temp on my 925 runs about 170. Hope that helps.

Well said palskidoo. I agree with you whole heartedly. I bought my truck before I found this site and did almost everything wrong and they could have let me have it when I posted up how excited I was about the truck and my recovery - but they didn't. Instead they directed me to Glen for a new...

I received a Florida title but it was not in my name. Don't remember exactly how it was named but I do remember I had to title it to transfer the ownership to my name. If it would have been already in my name I would not have gotten a Missouri title, there wasn't a loan so it didn't really...

Welcome SFCPappy, sounds like you are off on the right foot! Post up a picture of your truck if you get the opportunity, we love pictures.

I don't know the differences between these models but I learned to drive on one very much like that and have lots of fond memories of driving it on the farm. I have been thinking about getting one............Thanks for sharing.
