I dragging this one up to see if there has been any new thought or experiences on this subject.
I've just done a bunch of searching and read both Deuce forums and ended up with about a 50/50 mix of opinions.
I read that the Deuce fan costs about 13 horsepower (+/-), and since I'm doing mostly...
Anybody here old enough to remember when General Motors used to include a jack similar to that with the purchase of every car they sold? I've busted down more than couple tires doing that .... back when I was a LOT younger.
Hydraulic???
Hmmmmm ... I wonder if this is gonna be yet another use...
A man walks into a bar ... the bartender asks ... "What'll it be?"
The guys says ... "I'll have a Dawn and Water ... and keep 'em coming. I gotta break down a couple Deuce wheels and some guy named Wreckerman says its a good idea to get good and lubed first!"

I went the DIY route myself ... except I replaced both elbows ...
Using a sawzall, I cut the old system ... and fitted the new parts with the system installed IN the truck.

I got my pick-up pump done ... now I'm starting on my drum lift for the back of the bed ...
When I get that done ... in addition to the ad on Craigs list ... I'm...
