Does anyone know what the frame width of a m135 is?

Thanks guys. I'll try that tomorrow.

It has the multifuel. From what I can tell that's the only shutdown. So far, I've just been stalling it out to kill it. Not ideal, but works for now. I was hoping it was just an adjustment, but didn't know. Figured I would ask those that were more familiar with it.

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...

Thanks guys. I can't wait to get started getting her up to snuff. She was a brush truck before retirement. In service until 2 years ago, so most systems seem to be operational, but I want to go through everything to know it is good.

Made the trip to get her yesterday. Went well. Pulled it home on a trailer. Only issue was a blown tire on the trailer about half way home. We got it fixed and made it the rest of the way with no further incedents. I know you guys like pics, so here she is.

Thank you. I think we've got it covered. It's going to be a long week of waiting. I'm stressed and excited at the same time. Can't wait to get her home.

Thank you. We're looking at a Wednesday or Thursday run to get her. Hopefully things go smooth.

Sylvan grove, ks

I appreciate it. I still have to get it home. It's going to be a long week of waiting and getting prepped. The truck is 5 hours away.

I've called around a little and a correct bed is more than double what I paid for the truck, so we'll see.

I'm afraid that the aluminum bed may not hold up to me adding a dump hoist. I've always wanted to get a deuce and put a dump conversion on. Not that I'm going to be using it commercially, it would just be handy for hauling dirt or rock for the driveway, etc.

I hope so. I'm trying to decide whether to try to find an original bed or just make it a shorty dump with a cut down standard bed and a spare tire rack in front of it.

It's a 1952 Mack M51A2. Former fire truck. Missing the original bed, unfortunately.

Sorry. I'm near Galena, KS. About as far south east ad you can get.

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...
