I'm considering selling my M929 dump bed. Bought it to install on my M51A2, but never got done. Had it a couple years, sitting on my trailer. Seems to be a complete assembly.
I'm not sure what to ask for it, so I'll start at $4,000. If I'm way off, let me know.

I'm looking at getting a 40 foot shipping container. And someone semi local has what I believe to be a M720 dolly set.
Can the M720 move a shipping container? It would be empty. Search indicates roughly 5000 pounds.
What's the consensus on the Michelin XL tires at this point?

Just got my 1952 Mack M51A2 home this week. After new batteries she starts and runs. But when I pull the engine stop knob out it keeps running. Being new to this I don't know what "normal" is as far as how it should feel or how far it should move.
The first picture shows the engine stop out...
Well, sorta.
I have been on here off and on for a while researching and trying to learn.
Thank you all for all of the information thus far and for all I hope to learn in the future.
So anyways, I finally pulled the trigger on a truck. Won the auction today. Hopefully pick up next week...
