Ford trucks? What year/type? Thanks!

There are Craftsman fakes out there, too. Be careful if you buy you set at a flea market or online. The fakes are inferior and break easily.

Thanks, David, I'll yank it anyway in case someone needs one!

Anybody know if the pto from an early deuce will fit the later M35? I tried the TMs but couldn't tell for sure...

So...I know that for men like yourself it's about the project and not the completion...so what's the next project? Too much talent here to call it finished. Maybe something amphibious? How about an early deuce? A mule? A bed toy would be perfect for your new ride! :jumpin:

Thanks, guys...what about the pto? I haven't crawled under the truck yet, but I thought I would snag it, too. While I'm there, I will take pics of the trucks this guy has-bunch of WWI and II stuff. The mounting plates are there, so I'll get them too.

I've got a line on a winch from an early deuce. It's the same Garwood winch, but it looks like the driveshaft is a little different. The early deuce doesn't have the frame extensions like the later M35, and it doesn't appear to have the handle on the back of the winch, either. Would I be able...

There's one of those in Plainview, Texas for sale...not sure what the guy wants, but it looks the same.

I e-mailed John Tennis about those wheels. He said he didn't make any to sell, just for his trucks...

This happened in an old chevy of mine...I assumed that friction caused the cable to bind for a moment, then when it released, it sped up quickly, to catch up with the rest of the cable. I took the cable out of the sleeve, coiled it into a jar of grease, then reinstalled. Never another problem.

I emailed him a link to the thread...

I sent that guy a message and told him it was irresponsible to sell this truck. Some poor ignorant schmuck might buy this turd and try to drive it as is. The steering would go, and then the brakes, then the axle shafts would shear, and then the wheels would fall off while the guy was driving...

I'd say keep it red...It's a good paint job, and represents a noble civil service. I think military vehicles utilized for fire departments still retain a high degree of respect. 2cents You could at least keep it that color until you finish all other modifications you want to make, and then...

Could I send my wife up for some training? Wait a minute, that would require me actually removing her from the mall... :|

HRD, have you thought of fabbing disconnects from t-case planetary gear parts and shifters?

Not to mention they are multifuel! (corn, grass, alfalfa, grain, apples, carrots, sugar cubes)

So, is there a way to keep the multifuel from building heat so quickly? I plan to install a pyrometer, but would there be a better cooling option?

Is your driveshaft disconnect a Caterpillar part?

God Bless Texas!

RE: What Where did you get the wheels? Did they come on your 5-ton? Could you post some images? Thanks!
