PM me a telephone number and I will call you tomorrow. I learned a lot the hard way. Glen

I know that we bent about every bar we could get our hands on trying to get the right rear duals off of my deuce. My impact wrench just beat the corners off of the nuts, I made an S bar out of the original bar. I found a 8 foot pry bar with a pointed tip and got a couple loose. Finally I took...

I figure it is cheap insurance for a potentially difficult issue on the road.

Ken Tool 30609 Porkchop Cap Nut Wrench 30609 I think is their number, Glen

Just checked.... Walmart 19.99. Amazon 15.99, not sure who ships cheapest though. Glen

I did an Internet search and bought it cheapest from WalMart online. It is a Ken brand tool. Glen

A pork chop is a tool named for its shape. It goes over the nut and engages a hole or another nut, edge of the wheel, anything to stop the outer nut from turning in case the inner nut comes loose instead of the outer nut. Otherwise you have two nut clamped together and a battle to get the outer...

I was kind of disappointed at how easy the bar bends. I bought a 1" breaker bar and an old Budd socket. I had to buy an adapter for the 1" bar to the 3/4" socket as well. Now I have a set up I can actually get on and bounce to break the lug loose. They are horrible tight as they come out of...

Nice looking trucks, I have no idea if the high rpm shifting is correct. Nice photo of the snake, is that a common garter snake? Hard to tell from this angle, but the splotch pattern looks correct. I found one about a month ago crossing a bridge ramp, I was quite surprised as it had been snowy a...

I found those pages, and the instructions for fording. The closest thing to instructions on how to shift is low gear, low side of transfer case and in motion. I was hoping for instructions for encountering snow or mud, it says to engage the front axle before starting into motion for mud. Snow...

I just went through my operator's manual, it only shows the air switch and indicator light. It will show you how to use the water controls on a water truck, the boring tools, the dump on a dump truck, but it will not say a thing about the engagement of the front axle. I tried to cheat and check...

My front axle scales in at 6400 pounds with my old white dog and myself in the cab or 3200 pounds per tire. To equal that on the rear tires I would have to be 8000 pounds overweight. I would think the front tires would be rolling the same as the rear. That being said I have pushed the front end...

I would think disengaging the clutch would allow the case to safely shift. All tires and shafts should be close with no engine torque involved. That is how I shift mine anyway, prefer rolling with load load to stationary, thanks for the interesting thread.

Those are not out of the military yet. Looks like a little of everything is in there though. Glen

Have a safe recovery!

That location is just a rebuild contractor. Most of those are going back in service. That is a lot of iron though, lots and lots of eye candy. Wish I could wander around their facility for a couple of weeks, maybe I should retire and go to work there. 8)

Here is a view of how I remember the lot being, they have brought in a lot of trailers since then! Glen airport road salina ks - Google Maps

I have not been close enough to know what size or condition the tires are. It look like most of them are sitting on their hubs.

I wanted to catch the guy with the old Mack and talk to him. It sure look cool, he was pulling a small trailer, like a race car trailer or show car trailer. Wish I had more information on the truck, it was at a local motel. I just had room for a couple of extra photos, so I had to toss it in there.
