Exactly Mike. Both are double reduction, just different sizes. A few differences but not many.

Odds are it's an M1031. So far everything points to that with the body chopped off.

5 tons are a larger version. Sad this thing is all dirty.

I'd bet there are quite a few holdouts keeping them in the units.

Yardage is 5.33. Truck capacity is 5,000# offroad and 10,000# highway. What does a yard of dirt in your area weigh? Wet or dry makes a huge difference too. Trust me, not all dirt weighs the same.

It does not give dimensions. Best thing is to measure it from the face of the output shaft to the CL of the ujoint and take that to the driveline shop. They can calculate travel available on the slip and come up with a tube length.

That sucks. I was hoping that he was as meticulous with the brakes as he was with cosmetics.

Yes! The TM lists UOCs and it even states in the driveshaft description what transfer it fits.

Was hoping to see massive skid marks. Didn't see any! Hope all are going to be OK.

Mystery solved. Just checked the parts TM and guess what? Different driveshafts.

Stonepicker1 had a supply of Vanners for sale. I don't see his ad either. Since he is local, might be worth a PM.

Stopping at the point of incipient skid. Got it. Steve6x6x6 is a member here and has engineered some pretty impressive disc brake kits for the Rockwell double reduction axles. I'd consider him one of the pioneers of the swap.

If it runs and drives OK and the price is right, could be good. Take the oil fill cap off and let it warm up. If it blows out quite a bit of smoke, she might be wore out.

Returning it to Military? All slingpoints absent. Not a deal breaker but the price could add up if you have all that shipped in. Pintle and trailer wiring gone but that may not matter to you. The tailgate rust is typical. I'd be checking all the floors and around the windshield and where the...

I'm sorry about drifting off topic but the avaturd is killing me. I NEED that bottomless bottle and glass. I wonder if that's what Jesus had at the sermon on the mount.

2 hours is a pretty good pace if dealing with a PTO. Many said that after 20 year of deuce ownership, once mine were gone I would get right back into them. It's been 3 years now and I just don't miss them. I often contemplate selling off my deuce specific tools but I never do. Enjoy the ride up...

Interesting story relayed to me by a retired Seabee. They use chocks, more often than not, chocks made by themselves. They always use 2 chocks with a small rope between them. Were a Seabee to say, forget to chock his truck when he parked it, he would be wearing the chocks around his neck all...

Welcome aboard from brutally hot S Fla.

The very last statement in this video clip sums up the debate nicely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PLvdmifDSk

I know this my be rudimentary or basic but are there zero rates in the same relation? I don't use them but I do use the EZ Inch from DIY4X and they have 2 different options on the amount you can move the axle. Maybe these have that option as well.
