You got stuck with lockers on the rear axles? I just bought a set of spiked chains for the front of my truck. I hate chaining up, because its never on flat nice asphalt road for me. Im curious on the locker performance. Im thinking we have a "tire" problem for traction.

OK. today I HAD to chain up the very rear 2 outside tires to pull a tree to the road. Without chains, the tires just spin and don't have the grip needed. After I was loaded, I removed the chains and drove out to the paved road, unlocked the front axle, and drove home. Note, with 11/20's I cannot...

Mine slips around a bit on ice and slush mix. I had to chain up the front and one set of singles on one back axle to get around and pull trees for firewood. I have 11/20's all around. Im going out today after it snowed a little last night to pull a blown over big red fir I found quite a distance...

I got a dollar on the FDC, A 50 cent piece on the flame heater, but he may not have one.

replaced the heater blower motor today. Can you believe I had to unbolt the whole heater assembly for the motor to clear the oil filters........At least now I don't have to use my ice scrapper on the Inside of the windows while firewooding and snow plowing. replaced the Air Governor too as a...

they have replied back through e mail today, and I filled out a form. Im assuming they send the repair parts and I put it in. Thats better than the usual "you did it, not covered" BS from many companies.

It has seen its fair share of snow though. Its obvious the motor wasn't sealed properly, as you can see from the pictures of water draining out of it.

No. also I have a circuit breaker on it. on this pull, it only had the weight of the chain as it went out when I was taking up slack. The culprit was WATER entering the motor, which according to their propaganda is capable of running under water. Mine has never been under water. I bought it 5/19.

So there are no Authorized repair facilities in the USA. They have a email, which I sent pics. I hope I can at least get them to send another motor. If I ever buy another winch, I'll have to consider something like this happening again. Funny thing is their advertisement includes a video of the...

My 24vdc Sherpa winch has very little use on it....very very little. I pull firewood with cables on the back pintle hitch. Today, for the 3rd time I needed to winch around a stump and the winch quit working before I even got the cable slack out. I drove back with about 12 feet of cable wrapped...

Turn signal is completely manual. that probably is the horn like Elk1111 said. If the bell housing bothers you, get another one, dill a 3/16th hole in it and put a cotter pin in it to allow any oil seepage out.

I had to take the 14.5 front tires/wheels off and put the split rims with 11.00 tires on to fit my chains. I chained up the front, and one tire on each side in the back, for a total of 4 chains. I went to get firewood higher up the mountain in the snow yesterday, and I couldn't get traction to...

And I thought knocking the mud off with a digging bar was "sprucing up" my truck.

change both ring/pinions. I heard its about 1800$ each, but you only have 2, and you don't use the truck for real work. Or you can have a machine shop rebuild your transmission and fabricate a higher overdrive.

take it to the car wash (at night time) and bring some dawn liquid dish soap with you. Once you get the majority of the crap out, you can try mineral spirits to do some fine cleaning a spray nozzle they sell at HF. I did that with the fuel tank on a D4 Cat I bought, and it has 2 baffles in it...

Yep, thats why I moved from the foothills of Calif to the mountains of Idaho. No one tells us where we can or cant go. If the state doesn't want you in a certain part of the forest while they manage it, they gate it, then open it up later for us. They Know who they Work for....unlike most other...

I use quick connects on the snow plow and just use a male on one cylinder and a female on the other, that way when its disconnected, the fittings/hoses plug into each other keeping crap/dirt out. I dont have a schematic as I just built it as I went. Its pretty simple. from left to right...

you are going to need a fuel pressure gauge to check it when you try to restart it. It sounds like you are getting air into the system, possibly from the return lines?

the fluid enters the 4 way joy stick valve, flows thru it then enters the rear spool valve for the SA dump cylinders.

no, but I'll get some pics soon.
