Yard drove a B61 tandem dump at my uncles was 6 +/ -, he had 3 or 4 of them, I used to ride sometimes with him in an R model in the winter sitting on a milk crate full of coveralls and rags. We would haul tatermeal out of Presque Isle, ME I remember I was glad that I got to set in front of the heater.

welcome back, now would be a good time to cut down the trees you need an act of congress for to get that equipment out!

yes it is safe, the lug nuts have nothing to do with the rim. The tire/rim combo is safe as long as the locking ring is properly seated and undamaged. The clamp/wedge portion holds to the main part of the rim not the lock ring.

nice looking log hauler

so what is the deal with the title?

Sounds like politicians and unions are CYA for the clean up.

Its a 59 , when I took the fenders off I left the inner fenders and the head light panels all togetther and after fixing them boltes them back as tthe way I took them off, the rad shell has two 3 or 4 inch long flat brackets bolted on the bottom. Also what is a good shim for the radiator since the original bolts with the bug head and spacers are broken or missing.

I just got my wife talked in to helping me put the painted fenders back on, I have not painted the shutters but the nose is done in the same color as the fenders.

My question is can you put the fenders on and after I paint the shutters put that and the nose cover on? Or do I have to put the nose cover on before the fenders?

I need to get parts put back on so I can make room in the shop as I get ready for cold weather.

I agree with Dennis M, also check the front pillers for rust and missing interior parts. I would say even less if running condition is unknown. It will be at least $1000 for 6 decent used tires if its been sitting for awhile and transport costs. You will need at least a 14,000K trailer and 1 ton to haul it home.

I know that area my wife is from just south of there. I would be leary of the bill of sale as Michigan issues titles for large trailers. Small trailers under 2500 lbs actual weight are issued perm tags and the registration is the title. http://www.michigan.gov/sos/0,4670,7-127-1585_1587---,00.html

I have had several trailers and vehicles reigersterd and titiled in Michigan, in fact I still have a trailer I bought new in 2004 with michigan perm tags on it sitting next to my pole barn. If I was you get the vin and call the Michigan DMV. I would think there is a reason the seller does not have a title, its not like its a 1960's Mack that was found on the back forty of a farm.

Will he ship or is it pick up only?

Ran into similiar with some old crawler manuals I would bet all those books are public domain with no longer being under copyright Take the copy right numbers and search them in this data base. Even if you did find one that was somehow renewed all you have to do is get written permission to copy it for forum members.

Is it single axle? do want to go back original?

I found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/21-000LB-REAR-AXLE-AIR-RIDE-10-LUG-MERITOR-/130363643391?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e5a4755ff

I was thinking about converting to this it is all set up with air ride.

Nice!

Low pressure air should unblock the ful line/ pickup tube/ sock. The fuel line may also be broken so it can not create sucktion to draw fuel from the tank. Blowing air into the line should help determine if that is wrong. If the line is split or if the tank is dirty that will need to be taken care of or every time you add fuel or get the tank sloshing you will have problems.

You answered your own question with hooking th portable tank to the fuel pump, just because it the pump is rebuild does not mean it is working.

Keep us posted

This is the measurment of the studs I have, inboard thread .870 x 1.743 shoulder thru hub .939 flange measured on flat sides 1.152 outer thread 1.112 x2.114 , needs to be 3/4 inch longer Thanks

So if i have figured it right 7/8" x 1 3/4 long then the flange and 1 1/8 x 2 9/64 but you need an additional 3/4 inch so over all length to be at 4 7/8 to 5 inches.

Based off that description of the original stud it should be a euclid E-5922-L /R, there is not a stud that is that size 3/4 inch longer

to bad its so far away if, do you deliver?

fingernail polish remover and cotton balls

Jason you getting another truck??

I have a contour cab too, and need both the windshield and back glass someone posted a while ago that watts have the gaskets so I checked out their website the windshield and back glass gasket is listed I should probably order them before the prices go up. Remember you need to also get the locking strip.

looks to me like it had a dumper or flat bed with a towing receiver hitch that was torched off, the frame ends did not look cut in the pictures.

also looks like it has tube less tires

Ben

They are only rated for 250 net HP, if the V8 is less than that it would be ok but it is rated at 318hp then it would be no, I would with a 6-71/ 6-53, it would be cool to have 13 speed in your pickup. I have always wanted to put a 6-71 and 9 or 13 speed in a one ton

looks like some minor patches not that big off a deal, my floor was similair shape it was just as cheap and easier to redo the whole floor so you may want to check into that.

I am with Brocky I would probably do it and do what he said with loading backwards to to keep the weight off the front axle. Make sure the brakes are in good shape since that will be close to max.

Looks good, I need to find some of your body work motivation, the coat of primer sealer showed every little flaw, and I have been using it as a guide coat I am more than ready to just paint it white!!! or or take it and get Rhino Lined LOL
