Porkysplace Yes. Bought it in April last year. The title transfer and registration went without issue last year. Only hiccup was a painfully long wait in line but that's normal without an appointment :) When I went to register it and transfer the title to me I needed to help the ladies at the...

Add me to the list of MV owners in MI that had no issues whatsoever... I had ZERO problems renewing the registration on my 5-ton earlier this month. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Ajax I'll give my thumbs up as well for the torque multipliers. I picked up a "not so expensive" one from Amazon in preparation even before I got my 923. After having all 10 wheels off at least once (a couple more than once already to replace axle seals unfortunately) I believe these things are...

I wish...bow season here in MI at the moment. Not a bow hunter so still have to wait a couple of weeks until the 15th for firearm season to open... She actually showed just as I was finishing buttoning up the axle and getting the 923 ready for a shakedown run to check my handiwork. She stayed...

Another successful deployment of my 5-Ton Helper this past weekend. My front passenger-side axle seal this time around leaking GO all over and needed replacement. Just as with my front-rear axle seal a couple of months ago, the Hub Helper saved the day again (and my back, fingers, arms...). I...

I used a cheap, Harbor Freight 2-ton small trolley jack for my 5-ton Hub Helper and I could not be happier with how it worked. It should work fine for a Deuce. I removed the factory bolt securing the saddle on the jack and used a short (overkill) grade 8 bolt/oversized washer/nut to attach the...

Ajax I use a 200-600 Ft/Lbs Precision Instruments 3/4" Split Beam torque wrench on anything needing torque in that range. (Model PREC4D600F) It has a reversible head so it can handle both RH and LH threads. It is accurate, simple to set, very heavy-duty (and weighs a ton) and at 48" in length it...

I don't have an A1 or A2 but I can confirm mine worked perfect on my M923 to change out a leaking inner mid-axle seal over Labor Day weekend. The helper made the whole job of removing, handling and reinstalling the hub/drum assembly a piece of cake! As suggested, I left the connecting bolt/nut...

I've never been much of a self-promoter but I will give it my best shot on behalf of my big, bad girl here... I purchased her Easter Weekend this year. She is my first MV. She's a 1983 M923, Overhauled at Ft. Drum in 2007 and surplussed in 2012. She sat exactly where she was parked after...

I'm fairly new around here, but what the heck. I'll join in this month! I'm proud of my big girl and she looks great out at the farm :)

Looks good Adam! And when you pull the pin...??? Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Nice truck! Welcome to the addiction. Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk

Welcome! I am originally from Lansing but now live in Metro Detroit but my 5-tonner is earning her keep on the family farm in Eagle (NW of Lansing). I just bought my M923 from Dennis Myers up in Copemish last month and he has a good selection of Deuces on his lot and is a great guy to work...

Thanks, 71Deuce. Good luck. Luckily here in Michigan you do not need a CDL to own/drive a 5-ton unless you are using it for paid commercial purposes. She was painted to all desert tan at some point and later had a hasty, almost transparent, green re-shoot done. The camo hard top is new and...

Once more...

As requested and as promised, here are pictures of my big girl. A nice, clean, great running truck! Finally had some good weather over the weekend and the setting sun made for some nice shots out at the farm... NOTE: Pictures uploaded poorly from my tablet...going to try from my Laptop...

Hi fasttruck. Thanks for checking with me to help make sure I get a good start. I appreciate it. Actually, long before I purchased my truck (~2 years or so) I was downloading, reading, studying and becoming familiar with the systems, operation and maintenance of the trucks via all the pertinent...
