I just checked back in on this thread. I will have to do some research and see if I can come up with the bearing numbers. May take me a few days to have time.
The sprags gave a lot of trouble on the Dueces. When they worked they worked, when they did'nt, well they had to be fixed. That is why the Government swapped them to air shift when rebuild time came or when a sprag quit working. An air shift is a direct replacement with only the air line...
Looks good Tuco. My threads look bad at the begining of the holes but seem good a little deeper. I have a piece of diamond plate I will use if I make my own top plate. The angle that came with the winch has the correct spacing for the length. I thought I would take a piece of cardboard and...
I just checked a site I found on winch rebuilds to try and confirm top plate bolt sizes and found out I have the input shaft installed incorrectly. I put a slight preload on the bearings which I thought was pretty standard on assemblies like this. Well the TM says it should have a slight...
Pictures of my drivers seat bottom. Winch input shaft installation finished and brake adjusted. Can someone confirm the bolt size of the bolts for the top plate. The parts book does not say. I thought it was half inch course thread as I used that size when I put the top angle on but it was...
Dave, my seat does not have a metal bottom like yours on the WC. I have the original wood bottom that shows prints where the metal back was bolted to it under the bottom. The holes on top are counter drilled for what looks like large metal flat washers to recess into. There is no sign of glue or...
I have not made much progress in the last several days but the winch is almost finished. I have one seal still to pick up and the store was closed yesterday. If I had that seal I could finish it in a half hour. The new shift fork came in and it is installed with a longer set screw. The old...
It was'nt me I swear!!!!! And the fairy is still here because I had to buy a moon key for the winch shifter shaft today since mine disappeared. I am a little behind because My phone lines went screwy last night and took the repair guys three hours to get them back up.
Dave, that truck is...
I have been spending some time every day on the winch. As I stated earlier it came in a bucket all disassembled and was very intimidating looking at all those parts. Well it actually is quite simple and after cleaning and handling the parts it became obvious how it went together. I found a...
Hello All
My back is doing well but my hip is hurting bad. I started out with the hip Doctor and he wanted to fix my back first and see if it helped the hip. Well so far it has not helped the hip and now since the back does not hurt I guess I notice the hip more. I am back on pain meds and...
I have to put in a plug for Summit Racing. I called them at 4:00 PM yesterday to order my bushings. The parts man was excellent, found my parts in a couple minutes, turned me over to a Lady for payment and shipping and she was super. Today at 11:00 AM the parts were on my doorstep. Tonight...
I have rebuilt the front axle king pins and bushings and want to replace the swaybar bushing as well. This is a Chevy K30 dual wheel crew cab I bought at Fort Stewart and is a silverado with auto transmission, cruise and air. I am guessing Chevy was short a truck to fill an order and pulled a...
Baby steps compared to Commander Warp but I did get the power pack back in its proper place. Spent most of the day working on the inside of the tailgate. Lots of filling and sanding but it is almost done. It certainly will not be like new but from a distance will be very presentable. I will try...
