RE: No lottery Nice rigs!

Just starting to get back to some truck work now. Picked up a wheeled 2 speed jack for the big dumb trailer, also working on a couple of other things so this is back burner for a while...

I've seen a pump put on the front facing PTO like you have to work a dump bed on a deuce.

Hypothetically would it be possible to remove the over-running clutch (sprag) and use it in a different application? Very low power application? I have a need for a no-grab/spin-free for one direction and lock up/drive for the other direction. Hmmmm...

Put the V12 in the bed, run it up to an added T-case (like a V-drive), run that to the stock T-case and you're set! Won't haul much, but you'll pull whatever you hook to- :) If I do another engine swap I will go Detroit. I LOVE the way they sound spooled up.

I'm going to add something here- I've had Selectros on my factory Dana 60 on my M715 and had a set go bad on me. The instructions caution about too much grease. Then I lost another hub. What ended up keeping them alive is to fill the truck's wheel hub with grease so that the splined axle...

This is the fun part of owning/building these trucks is not having to compromise like a contract build may have done. I run two deuce 10K winches on my M715, two 5 ton truck 20K winches on my M35A2...these trucks are platforms for you to expand from-

Most likely was done by a fire company that got it... or the like. It's much easier to mount stuff like that than it is to round up factory style tail lights.

The yoke off the PTO accepts a 1310 U-joint. Most V8 powered cars through the '60's and earlier had 1310 U-joints before upping to the 1350's for other uses. Heck the M715's stock run 1310's in the drivelines and there and I've wheeled hard on 37" Boggers with stock driveshafts. The pin has...

Well that addition completely changed the attitude of that meek little truck. Looks great!

I'd say a grade 5 bolt...but that's just me. I'm not much into 'fuses' like that. Personally I think the aluminum shear pin is for the situation where someone unfamiliar with the winching process doesn't disengage something and wraps the chain and hook into the winch. The pin *might* be there...

Touching back on what pa.rich wrote...and someone can smite me if this sounds too far out too lunch but wouldn't you think the hubs being used as they're designed so that the hubs spin as the axle (front) remains motionless when the front isn't engaged. That means that the guts of the hub are...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Bridge Truck with 15.5 x 20 singles That would make a great bumper sticker-

There *should* be a plug on the side of pinion area that'll allow you to fill it a couple inches full in the bottom. It does not require being full...it will leak forever. New seals are available.

I wheeled my big M715 there last fall. Lots of decent trails, some good mud, some decent rock gardens. I would not suggest anyone try to wheel a deuce there...without a winch, chainsaw, and hatred for their once decent truck. Anything off the main roads, at least where my group had gone, will...

The spacers and bolts came with the kit when I got my Selectros a couple of years ago. They would not otherwise be able to be mounted.

RE: Steering box My Dad used to build the GMC's into brush trucks on Long Island. The ONLY engine work they'd do was to pull the heads and send them out to be done. No other engine work was done. Tranny got the REB Kit and the rest of the truck got armored, tanked and caged. Front...

this may not exactly be what you want to hear but M715's have clevis end linkage like that on their transfer case linkage and it can be adapted w/o too much work...if you're really in a pinch.

RE: Re: Toe-in with singles and radials - thoughts? Trango- possibly with your big wide singles the outer edge of the tire is just starting to climb the side of the rut which pushes you to the other side...then you hit the other and it pushes you back to give you the weave. I KNOW this is a...

Were there any issues with centering the Dayton part on the deuce can? Was it a snug fit or what? I see the overlap but just wondering about the fit. The finish, by the way, is real nice-
