    Short Road Trip

    Electrical - SAFETY!

    two very good points. no matter how small or quick of a repair if its electrical or could become electrical take the time to heed the two previous points. it is well worth the time.

    Electrical - SAFETY!

    i to am guilty. theres a 5/8" combonation wrench in the bottom of one of my boxes that became the path to ground on a quick loose wire job. of course once it started arching i couldnt leave it there so i received a darn nice set of blisters over that moment of poor judgment. hee hee

    trans replacement

    i've posted this before but i have a 10 speed OD coming as soon as my friend pulls it. i am anxious to get the #'s to see what the OD ratio is. our XM818W/W needs more cogs real bad. maybe even a bigger eng. got a couple of real good 335's around but have not checked for fit.

    Will the winch from 813 5 ton work on m35a2 Deuce?

    Spicergear, i see that this winch is driven on the left side. did you get it that way or did you flip it? is that a stock 20,000# garwood? also are all 2 1/2 ton pto's on the left or is this due to your conversion? we are looking to drive a large drag winch on the XM818W/W with a second...

    Any one go the the Clare MI get together and swap meet?

    Chuck, we attended the clare show and the grayling campout/trail ride . did not take a truck to clare as this was first event we were able to attend and we were sorta like you. we wanted to get a feel for things before commiting to the time and expense of taking a unit that far. although i...

    My new M52A2

    you might also want to check for wet stack as i believe the turbo on what i have seen was the beginning of the end.

    My new M52A2

    forgot to mention, this is the very reason our M51A2W/W came to live with us. preveious owner blew her up and we took her off his hands for $2500 . found a gov. rebuild for $900 and a GOOD turbo from Kublo's and away she goes! oh yea-- the turbo on the old eng was what took er out.
