    Chains vs. Singles

    The difference in snow is night and day from singles and duals..I tried my truck with duals and got stuck.Then i went trough the same hole two days later with the singles without any problems.. Airing down makes a big big difference on the slick soft stuff.. But i imagine chains on singles would...

    Converting air to hydro

    The air assist will still be a big improvement over the armstrong steer you currently have.;)If you're not happy with it try looking for similar hydro setups on old combines or tractors

    12 Volt Power - Deuce with 3 or 4 batteries

    Every way to add 12 volts has good and bad.to try to act like one way doesn't have any draw backs is crazy,to say something that is less than true about a product you don't own and have not installed would ussually count as a liar in my book

    12 volt radios in 24 volt m35a2

    Sounds like you are gonna be drawing more than 10 amps .. You could probably still get a cheap inverter or better yet get a equalizer. But if you ever think about running winches or using the 12 volt power for camping i would use a separate 12 volt alt and another 12 volt battery.. Whatever you...

    Should I install a gear vendors overdrive

    Hmmm?53s and a stock multifuel= SLOW. Accelleration will be extra slow . Top speed will be limited more by power than by ratio.In hills you will be lucky to pull 45mph . 48s would probably be alot better choice for what you are looking to do ..If you are set on running the 53s i would swap in a...

    ????am I baised on this subject probably.but I have done my research am I am not out here putting out bad info.saying that installing a equalizer to run off the 24 volt does modify the stock electrical system is simply a lie.whether you buy a kit from me or make your own.doesn't matter to me one...

    12 Volt Power - Deuce with 3 or 4 batteries

    Electrical mods are like many other mods you are better to have to much than not enough...Alts are controlled by a voltage regulator.. They only put back what was taken out..If the alt is to big it never matters.if it is to small it can't keep up and you end up with big problems..Whether you...

    12 Volt Power - Deuce with 3 or 4 batteries

    installing anything that runs off of the 24 volt alt is modding the stock electrical system...My setup uses its own battery ,wires,alt .With no link to the stock system at all...thus the 24 volt is left untouched..please repost a modding diagram to fit what you are saying cuz it looks like you...

    12 Volt Power - Deuce with 3 or 4 batteries

    Last time i checked delco alts were made in kokomo ,in ..And i know my brackets are made in indiana to..Not saying that a international company like that doesn't have plants all over the world..Not sure what brand equalizers are out there ..but delco is a tried and true maker of alts for almost...

    12 Volt Power - Deuce with 3 or 4 batteries

    i would have no idea of the failure rate of the equalizer compared to a china alt?My kit uses delco american made alts..That many of us have laying around the garage from a old chevy..Where is the equalizer you are using made at?

    part number for the 30 dollar alt is 7127 from autozone.it's a value craft..I never said the equalizer is a piece of crap.i didn.t say the equalizer was what i would be worried about.I said i would worry about hopw good the stock 40 yr old alt will do charging three or more batteries ..i'm not...

    12 Volt Power - Deuce with 3 or 4 batteries

    If the price of adding a 12 volt alt with my kit is the same price of buying a equalizer why would you not go with the set up that give you a failproof back up plan and is cheaper to fix if it ever did mess up?The stock decue alt is not the most reliable even when charging just 2 batteries..now...
