    THat bracket on the frame is for a "bulldog" type swivel jack leg - may be other manufacturers that are similar. They have them at Tractor Supply type places.

    Snatch Blocks for Deuce winch

    Too much going on in that vid - would like to see a diag to understand the 45:1 ratio. The last line would have to go one heck of a long way to multiply for that ratio!

    Code name BART (Bad A** Recovery Truck)

    Pic c/o Swiss. Ron was in too many threads to acknowledge. Here at least, his most recent project. Ron as we remember him.

    R.I.P.--73M819--Ron Harris

    This is truly a hard pill to swallow. I chatted to Ron on several occasions and had the pleasure of finally meeting him at the GA rally - and his reputation preceded him. I always respected his knowledge and often had my ideas "adjusted" in his famous manor. He truly was a great in the...

    May I start the deluge of replies, point by point..... City busses and trash trucks - just don't build your camper with a ton of crap hanging off of the sides. Your biggest issue will be turning radius of the deuce. Have good mirrors - including a view down infront of the front bumper. Back...

    Help Identify this Building Mover MV

    Hate to be the grammar police - but it's actually a "Dragon Wagon". There is a vet in town who drove the armoured one in WWII and a friend in the UK has one - with trailer. There was a thread some years back with pics of the one that NASA had.

    Tool Fabrication

    Well - if people want to poo poo your "solution" or your engineering skills - it's their problem! Good job. A lot of my posts include going beyond the TM's to maybe help others when I find an issue. Isn't there a vent on those tanks? I am sure that the design specs for the vehicle included...

    American flag M-816 wrecker

    It's also against the "Flag Code" to let it touch anything else other than the pole - so the boom needs to be avoided too.

    M816 Wiring Diag

    Next step - isolate brake light switch from turn switch, run dedicated turn wires from front amber lamps to new rear amber lamps and a seperate but combined brake to factory red lamps. Blackout remains as original.....
