I saw a like new 1 bed go cheap on another auction site a few weeks back. I never thought about marrying the both together But it seems like a nice idea. Especially with the all wheel drive !! :grd: lol

Are you going to use the PTO that drove the hydraulic winch to drive the dump cylinder ? I have bid on several M817s , But they always seem to go for more than I can swing. I saw a guy do this to a M920 . It turned out Awesome !

Yes I am going to use the original pto and pump.C and C equipment did build a nice dump from a 920.

If I take the bed back off before I mount it Ill try and weigh it.What is pedal to the far left for,I havent had a chance to drive it on the road much.I still have some kinks to work out yet.It will only statr if you turn the screw in on the IP.And to shut it off you have to unscrew it.Electrical problem somewhere.Why doesnt the jake have a shut off position on yhe switch?THANKS,JOHN
