Pitch,
It depends on what you prefer in a transmission. If you want to get an automatic you are pretty much limited to the electric/hydraulic system. You won't be dissapointed though. I'm a mechanic for a D.P.W. and we have 6 one-tons. 1 std. trans with a PTO, 1 auto with electric/hyd. and 2 with central hydraulics (belt driven hyd pump on engine and hyd valves for dump and snow plow). The electric/hyd unit has been very dependable and trouble free and has plenty of power for dumping. By far the best system is the central hydraulic one but it is expensive and you probably won't find too many used trucks with them. I'm specing a new '04 truck now and central hydraulics will add about $4,000 to the price. The std trans/PTO is old school and the most troublesome on an older truck. Worn linkages,leaky PTO seals and rusted up driveshafts are just some of the problems. All of our larger trucks,Class 7 and 8 dumps have live hydraulic pumps shafted off the front of the engine no more PTO's. Hope this helps.

So I went into the house and wrote him a check for $500 and bought them myself and said now they are mine. He had bought them about five years before thinking that he was going to restore them himself. After five years sitting in the barn, he changed h
