    Working on winch drive. *COMPLETED, **MORE** ADDED PICS!*

    Nah...and hopefully PennDOT will never be NEAR my truck. There's a feedmill down the road about a mile and I strolled down there with the big load. After I unloaded I went back. 10,100# load, 12,500# truck. It's not often you see negative...or is it positive arch(?) on a spring that's...

    Monster man, I got a guy that has a broken front housing on an airshift case and I may be getting the truck at some point. Might be interested in buying what air case cover and parts if you get to that point. Oh, if you can swing it, I really like my REB manual front engagement kit thats in my...

    When the sticks get big like that they're thicker than our chainsaw bar is long and they're a royal one to cut up then muscle around to split. I take the big stuff like that that's not rotten and sell it to a small saw mill. All the stuff I'm winching out was blow down last year in a storm...

    Here's a couple of pics of the Logs staged at the top of the ravine after being winched up, two of the stump and root ball that after a half an hour decided to roll down the hill and nearly (like fricken REALLY close) take me out(!), the next of the truck with a good pic of the winch, heavy duty...

    Working on winch drive. *COMPLETED, **MORE** ADDED PICS!*

    I pulled logs with it today!!! It worked completely flawlessly! I pulled 6, 10' logs of diameter varying from 22"-26" up a very steep bank. The thing didn't even sweat. One time I hooked a tree with a log coming up the bank and it flat dragged the truck with only a little decrease in the...

    Deuce Weight Questions - DMV-oriented

    Register it online, take the idiot factor out of it. Tell them their business like you know it like the back of your hand and see what happens. BTW, my truck weighed 12,500# no winch, no spare...including about 200# for the heavier CAT motor I put in.

    Working on winch drive. *COMPLETED, **MORE** ADDED PICS!*

    Finished up the drive yesterday and got the linkage all figured out and made today. There just happens to be a factory M35 winch truck about 10 minutes from the farm close enough to the highway that a fella can jump off the highway, slide under it and get some quick reference dimension off the...

    I'm gonna be in Chambersburg tomorrow at M.E. PA, and on the way back might just swing by Roman's and pluck an axle from his swamp out back.

    Hey Mr. Miller, I've got another idea for you to try since you've got you're diamond wheel fired up for tool sharpening. Take one stock rear axle shaft, instead of cutting off the flanged end, turn it down to outside of spline size, then cut what splines you can into what is left. You might be...

    This is what I emailed to Moser Engineering: "Subject: Simple double spline axle question Can you please price for me an axle that is: - 41.675" long - 1.632" spline diameter, 16 spline - 3" of spline on each end of the axle shaft. This is simply a double ended, same spline, shaft. Please...

    Question on bellhousings

    Does the short bellhousing on the 6052 and 6053's have the same SAE round bolt pattern as the short bellhousing on the 3052 and 3053's? A guy I know is wanting to pull a blown R6602 out and put in a very strong running 465'whistler' multifuel into his 5 ton truck. I'm afraid it will take him a...

    I got my Selectros from our dear friend Daniel. He had the best price. ...'course mine were screwed up and didn't fit ... but he had the best price by a decent amount. Selectros like to be against a nice pack of grease and they'll survive. If need be a grease fitting could be installed right...

    I probably wouldn't change that. It doesn't need to haul stuff, just work...lift, maybe rescue the CAT Deuce if I do something stupid in the woods. I also really dig gas engine as they START in the WINTER! Plug in an engine...geeze. That's my diesel gripe...that and if diesels could just go...

    I don't think it's possible to break a factory axle no matter what motor with the NDT's. No way. The axles that take the most abuse in these trucks is the front axle. It's got half the frame, cab/front metal, engine trans and sharing T-case, winch, etc. My CAT motor is just more power but...

    Thanks Lee. Fellas, this may be very easy as you need to keep in mind that if you have a a front drive flange desplined to float on a custom double splined rear axle shaft, the amount of difference in rotation between the hub with wheel mounted and the axle being driven isn't going to be much...
