the only shop near me charged me $60 a rod to take the old out and put the new ones in when I was working on my m269 low boy and the m131a5c tanker the trailer torque rod are a little shorter . in the picture is both top torque rods they have a wave to them and a little twist to them .

Changing out torque rods on m52a2 bought these torque rods from SS M1075 last year . I spent a few days putting them in also replaced the rubber brake lines and a pinion seal . it really helps to mark the cotter key holes . kenny

I was able to add a air cylinder to the winch on my 5ton I bought every thing off ebay . the switch has a neutral position in the center so when you shift it let the winch turn enough to engage turn the switch back to neutral . the switch is used to shift the dog in or out and not to hold...

I bought a cckw to take the bell housing transmission and transfer case out of for my m211 but I kept the automatic thinking a bell housing from a 270 would work on a 302 if I ever needed it . is the 302 crank machined to take a pilot bushing ?

I have spent enough to buy a nice press replacing the the torque rod ends ends on two trailers . the shop that did the work has a huge press . I talked to the man if a 20 ton press would work he said maybe . so I never bought a press . how much pressure is needed to change a torque rod...

you will hook up both lines . the constant air line will fill the tank and may say supply on the glad hand the other should say service this is the one that gets air when you push the brake and makes the brakes work .
