Its strong enough to act as a rack dump with farm type light density
material. If you are going to load it up with sand, rocks or a lot of logs
then you need to reinforce the stock bed or get a real dump body. Its
great as a typical farm rack dump as is.

Subject: [MV] M35 cargo with dump

Ok, so the more I use my Deuce, the more I decide it needs to dump. I have
a hoist from an old farm truck I would like to use, pending its fit. What I
am interested to know, is of the people that have done this conversion, how
many just use the 'subframe' on the cargo box? Is it strong enough to just
unbolt it and hinge it at the back and then put the lift cylinder in? Does
anyone have any good pics of conversions that have been done?

Thanks
Mike
