    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I got the same gas stealing problem years ago when I lived in suburbs. I ran a bunch of monofilament fishing line around a trees and bushes by my truck with Fish Hooks every foot or so. Never had a problem again! :mrgreen:

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Picked up some 2.5x1.5 tubing to make my troop seats. I would have just bought some but every time I find them at a reasonable price the shipping kills the deal. I took some pictures and measurements off my friends M35a2 and I'm going to fabricate them to look as close to original as I can with...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Aired up my two tires that bleed down slowly and then took pebbles for a ride she definitely doesn't like it! It was all I could do to stop her from jumping out when I stopped in front of the barn, �� I think she doesn't like the loud noises anyway she was in my lap definitely not...

    Just curious what it went for, or what the offer was

    M931a1 crane and dump

    It looks like that when I was looking at the crane. Thats cool! I dont know about mounting it inline, but you can probably mount the base normally and nest it inline with the frame. You do plant to keep the outriggers right?

    M931a1 crane and dump

    Sweet that's awesome! Got done just in time it is dumping out here right now! You'll probably have it working before I have this thing running on my truck, but if for some reason you don't, I'll be able to do more detailed pics once I can unfold the crane.

    M931a1 crane and dump

    Makes sense. Did those pictures help you understand whatever it is you were trying to figure out with the brake?

    M931a1 crane and dump

    From what I've read gear pumps are very reliable inexpensive and very forgiving of contaminants which would make sense for the military to want that

    M931a1 crane and dump

    It's complete and I saw a video of it operating just prior to its removal from the truck. The gear positive flow system is the most common from everything I have studied and I know my tractor has a positive flow gear pump for the backhoe and loader and it works great

    M931a1 crane and dump

    I couldn't read any valve diagrams the military painted everything

    M931a1 crane and dump

    I hope these pictures are good enough of the routing of the hydraulics to the hoist.

    M931a1 crane and dump

    I'll go unwrap the crane right now it looks like there's a break in the weather

    M931a1 crane and dump

    Here was the best link I found on explaining the details on Hydraulics and according to this you can have a load-sensing gear pump. http://www.hydraulicspneumatics.com/200/TechZone/HydraulicPumpsM/Article/False/6401/TechZone-HydraulicPumpsM Here is the link with the downloadable pdf files. I...

    M931a1 crane and dump

    Also, my apologies to anybody that looked at the TM upload section where I attempted to upload the manuals. I tried several times and for some reason it just wouldn't go through perhaps my connection was too slow I don't have internet at home and I just use my cell phone to tether my computer...

    M931a1 crane and dump

    Ok, I did a whole bunch of studying up on hydraulic systems and I was reading the tech manuals this morning. There is nothing on rebuilding the single-stage pump but there is a section on rebuilding the 3-stage pump off the m1089 Wrecker. It is basically three stacked gear pumps, and I found...

    Fmtv crane maintenance manual, hydraulics specs?

    The wrecker I was referring to is the lmtv Wrecker. So can a single stage pump be either positive displacement gear or variable flow vein or piston Style? I did a lot of reading online and I was under the impression that a single stage was positive flow. I definitely don't want to get the wrong...
