Ive been trying my best to stay out of these type of threads lately but since its already been brought to the surface I have to agree with DRGREG and BKubu. I agree that the OP has nothing but good intentions and is only trying to look out for us but look at it from the other side. What will...

Roger that.

I thought about that but after looking at it I dont think its that bad. If possible I want to see how far down the line to where it looks like it was kinked and if its not to far I may cut it off to there and keep the rest.

Will do my best

Never even thought about that till you mentioned it Glen. I have the chain and hook off the 5ton. I went and compared it to the one on my deuce. Same size. The one on the deuce is brand new. Glad you said something, now Im going to swap them before I sell the deuce. :-D

Did you find any hidden surprises? I'm about to do the same to my "junkyard find". I have the Tm's but also wanted to know about any hidden springs or detent balls that might fall out when I pull it apart. I went to drop it in place and decided to see if I could uncoil some of the rope. It was...

When I can control my A.D.D. and stick to one project and see it thru to the end. rofl Todays project, disassemble my 5ton winch and see why the dog clutch will not dissengage.

Exactly Ron, whats 4 or 5 bucks verses hundreds to maybe thousands in equipment damage. (or worse)

Thats a nice set up 70deuce. What are you using for the front corner markers? I started putting on the winch this week and did not realize just how far out that front bumper sits now.

As long as your speed and RPM's are within the limit listed on the dash plate you should be good to go.

:ditto:Get insurance (no paperwork needed, just a vin#) and either go thru the hassle of getting temp. trip permits or just drive it home with all your GL paid and dated invoice. When you buy a used car out of the classifieds in the paper, (man, how long has it been since that was done?) who...

Yep. Do a search for "sheared+key" and you can find all kinds of threads with people breaking the 2nd/3rd key on the mainshaft. Im begining to have symptoms of a sheared key in my trans. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/23787-2nd-gear.html...

My 105 was re-designed to dump. :razz:

Welcome to SS. Not much competion for surplus stuff from GL in Hawaii. Your lucky in so many ways.

Hmmmmmmmmm Guess I never thought of trying to flip it when empty to see if it would stay down on its own. Maybe it would work.

It would be a 2 person job. One on the quad and one in the towing vehicle. Since you have to lock the trailer brakes and back up the towing vehicle to get it to "tilt" (which its not designed to do) you would have to have someone in the vehicle to let it roll forwards to alow the trailer to...

A2 Yep, after searching and reading a bunch of differing opinions( http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/47921-gl-1-gear-oil-alternative.html ) I decided to go with SAE30. I wanted 40w but couldnt find it locally and I will be draining it and refilling again soon so I went with 30.

For all that, I'd sell it and find an A2. It will have the 8lug, surgebrake and probably better bed all ready on it.
