That's fine if you can put them in from the TOP. They DON'T work from the bottom because you can't get the powder to effectively disperse. It usually takes several bags, and if not done right can make a real mess in the house. You DO NOT want that powder to get into electronics, it's corrosive.

If I can't pull something out easily the first time, I'll spend some time jacking the vehicle up out of the mud or digging it out some. I want to have as little resistance as possible when I pull. You're less likely to damage something or hurt someone that way. Brute force should be the last...

Fixed it for ya.

...Bring out the Gimp...

You might have to email or call places like Eastern or Memphis. Just google the part number and that might get a hit. Some parts just aren't listed on their sites because there's so many different parts. And you may be able to just get a new gasket for it.

I can't haul it, but I sure could store it for you! :tank:

5 minutes with a shovel would've fixed that. Less time that it would take to run out and wind back up all that cable. Some people just have to do it the complicated way.

VERY NICE! I'm not going anywhere near as far as you did, I hope mine looks at least half as good. On a related note, anyone notice that the hardtop liner looks just like the same material that PT mats are made out of?? Hmmmm...

Don't worry, when an engine is starting to run away, your little Jiminy Cricket on you shoulder will be telling you to "RUN, FORREST, RUN!!! An engine that is starting to run away is readily apparent, and should scare the bejeebus out of any normal person, who will automatically get the ****...

Strobes pretty much suck. Especially amber. LED's are the way to go, they're WAY brighter. Yeah, a little pricy, but they also last longer. And they now make a "rotating" LED.

Yeah, but MV's don't smell that bad either. I wouldn't want to live next to a bunch of snobs with codes out the whazoo. I know some places that have to get permission from an arborist to cut down dead trees, and I mean the bark is falling off.

Right now I'm doing mine on a gravel driveway...

HEY!! You need to be finding me a left fender first! Don't I have you under contract?? :grin: BTW, I got those Budd parts, thanks a million, I owe you some beers!

For $1000, somebody fairly good with sheet metal could probably fab a hardtop. It also seem weird that a winch would get more money that even a "new" engine. :confused:

I would recommend that when you mount it on the frame, you use a couple of washers to leave a space between the mount and the frame. That way moisture doesn't cause rusting there. I'm going to use grade 8 washers when I remount mine. I had heavy rust on the frame and mount where they were...

Hmm, a bell sound might have been the pulley...or some cast piece.

The belt flying off and hitting the inside of the fender well or hood probably caused that bang you heard. You might be able to find some marks where it hit. There's a lot of power behind them when they break. I've seen them rip out cooling and oil lines.

I plan on putting in a remote vent on my deuce while I have it all apart.

That's exactly how I hope mine will look when I get it done. Mine will be lettered for the 73rd Inf Brigade, my first Guard unit.
