Why does this picture make me think of donuts?
see post 6044 this threadMy back hurts, and all I did was READ about moving those tires.opcorn:
see post 6044 this thread
Deuce tire/wheel is maybe 180lbs, too much for me to toss around let alone 400lbs of 395/wheel/run flats.
Safety first as one can not pursue working on truck with a broken lever.
Spine is a first class lever? Load is greatest at the fulcrum.
Excessive load breaks fulcrum of the first class lever.
Fulcrum is the disks and facet joints.
Safety first, use a mechanical lever, hundred + eighteen bucks.
......... and a picture for the General.

harbor fright #60731Did you make that crane or buy the truck with it? I need to make one and was curious about the swing post.
Are you also using the rig for hauling her furniture and such; doing it all in one trip?G'day everyone,....
Well today in about an hour and a half I will be collecting my Deuce to start an epic 800klm+ trip over the next 4 days to move my mother into her new place.
I have budgeted $600.00 towards fuel for around 3 full tanks.
I guess I will find out what I get mileage wise.
See you all in 4 days,...

Wow ! Two lessons learned in one day ! Foot pounds versus inch pounds and watch where your moving on the deuce. Some days can be really exciting !This week is week number 12 of my head gasket and overall engine bay overhaul of my deuce. Yesterday I learned the important lesson of being clear on whether something is inch lbs or Foot lbs. I also learned that my vocabulary is much larger than I expected. I was standing up from the passenger wheel well and the edge of the trim above the headlights caught my pants. I fell down below the engine on one side and sprained my ankle and broke two toes. Before the Adrenalin wore out I pounded the edge of that piece of metal flat with the nearest hammer I could find. No more slips for me.
As for the bolt that snapped, I was torquing the injector hold down bolts to a nice 160 foot-lbs as I thought the manual said when it snapped off about a inch above the head surface. Easy extraction, but still a gut wrenching moment. I will be out of commission for a few days while nursing my foot, so no climbing Mount Deuce and a Half for a few days.
I had even written down inch-lbs! Really started to kick myself in the britches after that. At least the local Home Depot carries the same sized bolts in Grade 8. I really should stop working after sundown, because that is when I start slipping up and getting hurt, but I get so excited when I am this close to being done. I think I will spend tomorrow sand blasting the exhaust manifold and turbo down so that I can get some high temp paint on them. I have such a small list of things to get done now that I have to constantly remind myself to make sure not to rush anything or I might miss an important detail.Wow ! Two lessons learned in one day !

I'd say you will use 2 of those 3 tanks......any bets?
I did 550km on 1.25 of a tank. Fresh filters and injectors
I'm sure sorry about the fall, but that's a funny comment about Mt. Deuce.As for the bolt that snapped, I was torquing the injector hold down bolts to a nice 160 foot-lbs as I thought the manual said when it snapped off about a inch above the head surface.

What's her piece?Well I hammered out the piece of metal that kept grabbing me. It'd raining in Florida right now so no working today anyways. Instead we went and got my fiancé her CC permit.
She packs a Beretta 92fs compact L INOX.What's her piece?
