Can I have a bit of that "stuff" down here, please? (to cool the swimming pool, at least... :) )

:ditto:

Correct. But you can see, he then lifted his spades off the ground and even so was able to drag the M936, easily. On the other hand, those (military) spades did do nothing, and that I think has nothing to do with the way it was rigged...

Probably https://www.texasbids.us/texas-contractors/contractor-5856652-TEXAS-POWER-STEERIN.htm I also still had this old catalog on file (It's a heavy PDF but does have some good info. See attached). It is from this other company...

OK, would love to see your vid (of victory...):)

Ha.... Looks like the military never did that kind of a simple test...? Otherwise one would suppose the'd come up with something different, to be used as spades. Something more like a plow, that actually does dig into the ground...

Ha-ha, it is just an old homemade engine stand, where I stick in- and support (the opposite end of) whatever I use as a spindle... Over the time I have built me "free-spinning" hubs for almost every popular wheel size- and pattern. Just not for 10 on 11.25" yet, because I never needed it so...

Shipping of what, from/to where....?? Please update your location to add your sate. (It's a rule!) Then go to Transportation Needs and post there.

Why is it that people insist so much to have these 350# heavyweights dynamically balanced? I'm confident to say that >90% of all cases can be solved satisfactorily by simply attaching the necessary counterweight at the right spot, inside the inner rim-wheel half, closest to the wheel disc. This...

They definitely run quieter than XZLs and wear better, too. And out of dozens mounted (myself) I have yet to find one with a run-out of more than 3/32" (on a true wheel). And so far every single one of those tires balanced just fine - statically, that is.

You can..... A): pull out your existing runflat insert and reinstall it in the replacement tire. (I would gladly explain all the details, if interested.) B): get rid of the runflats and run some kind of (internal) beadlock, instead. (see this thread...) C): assemble- and even run your new...

I'm currently trying to work my way through hundreds of these moderated posts. It takes time to read one-by-one and I'm only approving what I think has some useful content - regardless of date posted. @porkysplace : Sorry if getting a notice/alert bothered you that much.

What??

Click on what I circled blue: Usernames are usually all linked. When you click on any of them the 2nd image pops up. For a PM like we had before just select ''START CONVERSATION"

No, if you mean those links in post #18, they went dead long before this last change. They are now updated. To all readers: Please feel free to report ANY posts containing dead links; most of them can be restored.

It seems correct to me... 3427 in-lb /12 = 286 ft-lb.

Assuming that the rated pulling capacity (20.000 lbs) was only for the first layer of wire rope on the drum, then the required torque on the drum shaft would be 20,000 / 12 * 3.3 = 5,500 ft-lb And considering the worm gear type reduction plus all other friction losses combined, the efficiency...

I firmly believe that that winch is basically the same as the 5-tons front winch (#7412382). If so, then the (bare)drum diameter is 6 inches and the reduction ratio, 29:1. That means, for a cable speed of say 15 ft per minute (1st layer), the drum has to turn at ~9 rpm and the input shaft at...
