If your truck shifted good before adding the pto and then poorly after you need to add another shim or two in between the transmission and the pto the gear in the pto is pressing to hard on the gear in the tranamission .kenny

the hoist work good I have a piece of 1 1/2 by 1/4 strap with a 3/4 hole in each end so I can use a lug nut to hold the strap to the hub and a clevis to the hoist . the strap is about 8 inches long . I have not used this on my m52a2 but it worked great on my m269 low boy' .kenny

I can help or dismount these things and chain the wheels to the frame and get it ready to ship on one of my week ends off . with the truck down to normal size have you had any luck finding a hualerthat could load it where it is ?
i would hate to try and drive your truck to Albuqurque a brake down would leave every thing in a bad spot . my m52a2 with trailer runs about 45mph and with a load it would be as fast as this truck runs . I could get your truck to Farmington and feel I'm not pushing my luck . kenny
Great save . I'm about 100 miles from Dulce and can help getting your truck ready to ship . I know these trucks are wide but I don't know how wide . I have a compresser and tools and a m269 wrecker low boy with beaver tail with ramps if needed .kenny
