surplus center has gear reducers anywhere from less than 5:1 all the way up to 60:1 and one model of a 500:1 ratio.

I can't explain with the CUCV. But in General. Isolated ground is where you have two ground paths for a system to avoid adding RF noise to something. In my case of a building electrical infrastructure in a computer room. The wiring going to the electrical outlets is an isolated ground setup...

Don't the older -10's rate the Deuce at 10,000 lbs towed load capacity? [edit] Yep. The 209-10 manual has a Towed load of Highway 10,000 lbs and towed load Cross country of 6,000 lbs.

S-cams would be FAR better than wedges.

You could try to find the double output PTO. That has the rear facing drive which only turns one direction.

Safety factors for overhead lifting are more stringent than they are for winching. The 1/2" rope I found online had a min breaking force of 13-14 tons. That's 26-28,000 lbs.

Kyle, the RR Museum, has two 44 tonners. Hartwell #2 and The problem is for this particular move it was a problem to get to this particular lead. The lead track beyond the points is just enough space for a single car and a track mobile (currently down). I don't think their 44 tonners AND a rail...

A winch is a handy thing to have. VERY handy.

The guys with the logging and construction companies probably have that. The tank car WAS empty. It is however a double wall tank with a great bloody structure and trucks, I'll have to check it's tare weight later today. I didn't note that before.

I will point out that Ron is a crane operator for a living. He does have a good idea when it comes to lifting/winching hazards and equipment failure. What he's saying is that abused lifting/towing equipment can fail in a random way that you may not expect if it's badly abused.

So, I volunteer at the local Railroad Museum. They recently received a tank car (kaolin slurry) that is in very good shape. It was placed at the rear of building 1 some time back. They had a donation of a VERY well preserved late 40s fire truck that they need to make space for and they'll be...

In this case you COULD put a winch cover on your winch drum of rope and have it be fine. The winch covers aren't so good on the wire rope because it holds the moisture in. On the snatch blocks, it's a matter of cleaning/smoothing the sheave before use. Add to the pros Floats or can be bought...

I'd go for air as well. IT allows for electrical failures and you still have the ability to stop.

Hmm. If I was provisioning a winch with a brand new rope, I'd go ahead and get synthetic rope.

A set of tire chains for situations where you have reduced wet traction issues seems warranted. I recently bought a set of 1100x20 chains for the front and rear axles for just this issue as well as muddy road travel as well.

Sure will.

Are these things Wye or Delta wound? If Wye, can you not center tap them for neutral and run them at 110 and get your three phase with neutral setup that's needed? Ie run two of the phases plus a neutral and your ground.

I think Gunboy's method is the win. I'll have to make up 4 storage compartments for this. 2 Should take chain's nicely. 2. Should take tire chocks nicely. I think I'll have to get access to a sheet metal brake so I can fab up some storage boxes to go behind the rear mudflaps as well as a...

Hahahah. No. Sometimes I drive the deuce up North. I still have a mental image of a large fire truck driving across one of the viaducts in Atlanta after a particularly nasty ice storm. It comes over the rise and then starts to slide....side ways...down the hill. Towards police cars and other...
