    Sherpa winch took a dump

    They said they are going to send me another motor next week. And yes, the assistant sealer missed about 3/8 inch area. the water entered the motor bolt holes and stayed there because the rest was sealed real good.

    It looks like a oil hole is bored/drilled in the shoulder of the 2nd gear. So how do it get the loose bearings back around the shaft when I re assemble it? grease?

    No metal in the sump. This may have been this way for a while, as I have only driven it down the highway twice, and its always on a gravel (good areas) road or worse, so I may have not noticed. If I can get the mainshaft rear bearing out, then the mainshaft should move to the rear, lifting the...

    First and reverse are within specs. 2nd gear has waaaay too much play. I think its shot, and then theres the probability the shaft could be too...whichever is a harder material. I cant fix it until spring, as winter has arrived. The ground is frozen, and I got a JD4020 to completely service...

    Yes. I seen that illustration in the TM's here. I thought at first that unequal spring pressure by washer shimming, would bind the shift plate. But the spring pressure isn't very much, the shift plate has almost no wear, and there is a lot of shifter leverage to overcome any "binding" there. So...

    yes they were wired. But someone has been in this before I got it because the washers next to the shift plate springs were not correct. I got a rebuilt one on its way. I would like to keep this as a spare, but I got to find another ball detent, as the other one flew out across the field...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    there will be some metal distortion from heat. The big problem is that the metal is old and fatigued, so it may crack again right next to the repair. thats why the fish plates are needed. even a Harbor Freight spot welder would work good on light gauge steel with fishplates. If you intensions...

    Duals with flipped hubs

    I like running duals in the summer for firewooding, but in the winter, I NEED to chain up, and since I have newer 11-20's, I can only run single outside wheel chains. So Thats the set up I'll have to do to run singles for better traction, rather than duals with one chain each. Good thing is that...

    Duals with flipped hubs

    w hy wouldn't you run the just the outer dual, and leave the inner one off? wouldn't that put the tire over the center of both bearings?

    Sherpa winch took a dump

    the brushes are also froze in their retainers. Im wondering what part of "it leaked", they are struggling with.

    Sherpa winch took a dump

    Well, I sent them more pics they requested to show that their factory installed seal failed, and have Not heard back from them after a week, so I resent the pics a few days ago

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    y Your map gas torch won't work. too wide of flame, no heat cone, and not hot enough. you can get a small portable oxygen-acetyline torch kit from the big box stores, and they will have a brazing tip with it.

    shift plate looks good. what I did find is 3 washers on one side of the spring, and one on the other, on one shift plate bolt/shaft. On the other side, there are 2 washer on one side of the spring, and none (cover side) on the other. Is this normal? I didn't mix them up incase it should go back...

    Duals with flipped hubs

    I Im curious if I could run my 11/20's as singles, with stock hub setting (not flipped) in the winter, then duals in the summer. since I have to chain up for winter time and I can only chain the outside tires because the 3 ring chains would hit the trunion.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Its about 3 years old. It will be my back up one now, since I got a gas powered one that I got in the bed of the deuce to operate my log lift for extra heavy green Hemlock firewood rounds, and another electric one since.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    They ae bad here too. They make their nests in the cab often, and always on the bed frames. I was using Spectricide" but recently it seems like the producers have watered it down and I have to water board them with it, then smash them. So now I use cheap brake clean.
