hey i forgot to mention, if any of you guys are ever in need of any bearings or oil seals let me know, my family has a large bearing company here on the island and we stock just about every size timken and ball bearing. sry the wheels seals are special, believe me i tried to get them with all my resources. i can have them made, but way to much coin.

Wow Nice fleet!
I am getting a gas M 52 in a few weeks and would love to have the space you have there. The good thing is it is getting warmer and the sandblaster is dug out and test fired if the weekend is nice I will be finishing the first gas tank. Hopefully we can restore them on similar tracks. Thanks for posting the pics

Great looking 5 ton & 151...............................whats the M52 gonna look like when your done???

 

[benni72]

hopefully it looks as good as the rest of the fleet. the m151a1 got real expensive real fast. seems the smaller they are the more money they cost. nice thing about the m52a2 is the parts really cost very little and i picked it up for close to nothing. i think the owner didn't realize that it was somewhat of a fresh rebuild, found toole tag dated 88 on the motor. i think the breaks are bad from just sitting. still working on the sprag, maybe lazy or just plain shot. gonna take the air cyclinder off tomorrow and see what it looks like.

benni, if you are talking about the wheel seals on the 5 ton i just got a box of them from a fellow in Alabama. CHEAP! i also see that you have the late style power steering on the tractor. very nice update. let me know if you want the contact info for the seals. certainly not trying to tell you how to do things but if it was mine i would have the air intake tube covered with something.

 

[benni72]

thanks dave, if you could send the info over . air intake is covered now. took pic when fender was just removed.

Very very nice deuce. I Think you can get a 5th wheel from Jim Henry or John Winslow, both are usually in MV magazine. I am in upstate NY with around 35 deuces and 5 tons. If you make that M52A2 look like your deuce, wow, you the man
