My dad found a new (looks like it was just released) HO scale model of the M35, and it looks like an A2 model. It's in stock at a bunch of the stores, including Walthers, but they are showing a picture of a different model...

For parts, do you know about -
Surplus Center - Hydraulic Cylinders Pumps Motors
and
Discount Hydraulic Hose.com
I have bought a fair amount of stuff from both of them and been happy. Never been real impressed with the quality / price trade for northern tool's hydraulic parts, the good stuff...
If the button has been removed, good chance the wire that runs down the inside of the steering column is broken or has worn insulation that is shorted to the column (which gives you a continuous horn!). If you find that, search here, there are a bunch of threads with suggestions on how to...
Add me as an almost definite "yes". Cleared the family calender, and I think work will be ok, but won't know for sure until the 1st week in January. Me, my son, and our M35a2.
And if its stuck back over too far, and bent just right, its just perfect for nicking a nice little hole in the radiator you're removing / installing (right through the cardboard you thought would protect the radiator...)aua
Law in Texas changed to no one under 18 in back of pickup ~5 - 10 years ago. Changed to everyone must have seatbelts 1 or 2 years ago (or car seats / booster seats if under 7(?) or certain size/weight). Also, I'd only put 12 or 13 seatbelts (depending on the number you've got in the cab) in...
I think you've already identified the big difference - size. 5 ton's bigger size and weight means CDL, commercial insurance, gigantic (instead of merely huge) parts, 32 point u-turns (instead of 16 point), worse mileage, and so-on. Parts are equally available. Many of the 5 tons already have...

I have used a 3/4 breaker bar, ~ 5' long iron steam pipe over it (probably schedule 80 or 120), and a smaller pipe inside the big pipe to keep it from bending. The weight alone will pretty much turn a properly torqued lug nut, I had to stand on it to get most of them off the first time, and at...

I'm still good with the Houston meet up at Buc-ee's. That is going to be an early morning for me, but I don't want to miss the helicopters either.

On the illegals issues, homeland security / border patrol has a lot a 5 tons and deuces along the Texas border, spotted a fair number as we went through checkpoints along the border on this summer's vacation. Most with hardtops and r/v type ac roof units on them.
