    M108 deuce wrecker engine swap

    Don't know if you saw my M108 swap. I don't remember anything special. Swapped the front crossmember from other truck, and one of the rear mounts. Had to remove a rivet from the spring mount to bolt crossmember in. This is all memory, so I could be wrong. It's the same has repowering a...

    R & R work (remove and repair)

    That's the last time I listen to Gimp.. "you need to get on steelsoldiers and read about my drill press" That is the same drill press head as mine. Just a different table setup. And NO, you may not take mine into the shower with yours for a threesome!

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    I walked past mine. On another note, trying to find an overdrive for it. Think I have one coming, but it's a 29 tooth, for a cj-5. But I do have a couple cj-5 transfer cases, so can slap one of those on the 2A, and fit OD to it. Also need an adapter, so the dual shifter PTO can go on the...

    You can tow anything with a M108....

    Yep, I did have flashing lights on the tractor's blade. Plus SMV sign. And towbar rated way over the tractor's weight. Only thing I can think of is no brakes on the tractor while towing. But at 35mph, and a towing vehicle that vastly outweighs the towed load, this was a safe tow. I wouldn't...

    You can tow anything with a M108....

    Yea, it actually did. Tractor is around 8,000lbs. Didn't have any problems at 35, but any faster and it knew it was there.

    You can tow anything with a M108....

    Kinda has a safety chain. Got the hook of the crane on it, don't I?

    You can tow anything with a M108....

    Had to use the crane to move concrete pads, and tractor to level some stone, so I hooked them together and headed to town! Let the tractor idle while being towed, so gearbox is lubed. Did about 35mph, didn't want to get going too fast. Got some looks, even stopped at the gas station to put 5...
