    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

    You guys are in outer space. Can’t it just be a trailer? Already have it, and the de-splined hub caps. This is a spring project.

    M925A2 Trailer Made From M923A1 Truck

    As always, somebody beat me to it, likely because I take longer than a year to get anything done. In the background of this pic found on an eBay ad for an M35a2, is the setup I want to make: A M923/5Ax trailer made from an M923/5Ax truck, connected to an M923/5Ax truck, so it matches the truck...

    5 ton gas (OK fuel) pedal sticks

    I tightened up my return spring, and lubed the bellcrank mechanism on the engine side of the firewall. Been fine since.

    True and good point. It may work well like that.

    Cargo Bed Dump Conversion Hinge Designs

    Your writing about bed frame vs truck frame flex is spot on with one of my goals. When I first got the truck, I ran over a car at the junkyard just for the excitement of it. Coming out of open heart surgery and being the only male in the house, nothing was more satisfying than hearing the...

    Cargo Bed Dump Conversion Hinge Designs

    Yep. That won’t work. Honestly, the best way to find deals is all in the use of search engines that check all Craigslist's, not just your local one. I can't spoon feed you every step of how to do so, you can take it from there, but that is how I do it. Also, part of above is true. I'll...

    1. Try to make the offer to their wife. 2. You have to be able to handle people telling you to FO. I’ll sell it to you for $500, and buy another for $200. $500 for a clean used dump hoist is a steal. 50% of a new one.

    I’ll need to make 2 sets. Just scored a second scissor type hoist for my trailer. Tandem dumper! $200.

    40% Off Cyber Monday Hydraulic Goodies = M925A2 Going Dump !!!

    I could. That’s the exact look I’m going for, if I can make it fit. Cylinder tops will be at bed frame rail, not tucked under. :/

    40% Off Cyber Monday Hydraulic Goodies = M925A2 Going Dump !!!

    Here’s what we are working with: I may need to go to a shorter length fuel tank to fit these 50” cylinders, or use this hoist for the trailer instead.

    Actually the plan is nearly that exactly, trap door on bed floor to feed cable up through bed floor, over cab roof, and is the tie-back (stay?) for the front A frame crane. I just did temovable 10’ extension tubes onto the medium tow bar. Front winch will hoist the load.

    Just proper planning. I actually think most OEM dump setups do not have any cross mechanisms on the hinges.

    Engine Accessory Belt Driven Clutched Hydraulic Pump

    Love it (picture). I just like to guess at everything, and fool everybody. Most people just think I’m an a$$, not a community treasure. :)

    Engine Accessory Belt Driven Clutched Hydraulic Pump

    When I do the transplant, I’m going to stick a plunger on top of the 13 speed up through the cab floor. You guys are going to love it.

    Yep. The excitement of this pump has you all up early this morning huh?

    Engine Accessory Belt Driven Clutched Hydraulic Pump

    Specification document link added to first post of this thread. It contains all the pertenant info. Pump rated to flow 30.5GPM at pump speed of 3000rpm. I don’t think this is achievable with a 2200rpm engine limit, I would have to do the math, but she’ll do every bit of the 25GPM any 925 is...
