    Best PTO option for powering hydraulic pump on winch truck?

    Rick; my answers to your Q's., in that same order... 1): Both units in question are scarce but available. While the (used only) T-case PTO comes up in the classifieds once in a while; a take-out transmission PTO-rear output-accessory drive (TAD) behind the winch PTO would be very hard to find...

    winch PTO gear ratio ?

    Following may help to calculate, or better say estimate HP needed to operate our winches at rated power (and over), using the popular formula: HP = torque x rpm / 5252 Winch facts: PTO low range for the Spicer 3053 is 650rpm @ 1000 engine rpm; equals 520rpm at 800rpm (engine idle) 520rpm...

    Another "What the **** is this" thread

    I have used such hair-pins instead of the original cotter pins, for the rear bumper shackles. The size of the pictured one looks about right. To AMGeneral: I cannot remember ever seeing such a "tapered center support stud" on the (old) M35 spare tire carriers I have here. ..... Very curious to...

    POS transmission

    So they are the stupid ones... aha, really...? Get THE tranny book: TM9-2520-246-34. Go to table 3-2 on page 59. There you will find all size and fit dimensions / wear limits & tolerances for the mainshaft assembly... Line 19 shows L - P = 0.0035L to 0.0045L. That is 2nd gear I.D. less shaft...

    Are these 5 ton wheels?

    Well, YES... for combat; and YES for 5ton since some MTV's are rated 5ton also... And NO, those are NOT the 5ton combat supersingle wheels from the M939A1/A2 series 5tons! BTW, they could very well come from any of the 2.5ton MTV's also, or even the M1082 trailer; they all share the same...

    GIFs for technical drawings, keep native, do not downsample

    Since I found out how to easily convert a 5MB BMP-drawing into a 300KB PDF file, while maintaining the same original quality (no shadows or stains around objects, like in JPG) I'm posting both for everything I feel is worth it. EDIT: Update 03/31: .... so I just did some exercises...

    does anyone know what this steel plate is for?

    Older M109's (gassers) also have these brackets which are bolted to the box subframe only; but they are spaced out a few mm and there are no plates on the frame. Adding these plates must have been just one of the many "upgrades" from sometime during the 70's. G.

    PSA: a lightly bombed civilian 8.3 is a great repower for an old 5 ton

    Not another Franken-deuce, or...??? OK, we'll wait and see...... :) YES, the 6CT's are very popular in this part of the world, too. Factory equipped in trucks intended to pull 45 tons GCWR (i.e.: Ford Cargo 4532e) You flipped both (5ton)axles left to right. Was there a reason NOT to swap the...

    6 Speed to 8 Speed Converstion!!!

    Supernice! Great idea; will try this later with the Spicer... it maybe a bit more complicated than that, but......make it a 6-speed, at least?:razz: Seriously speaking; one always tends to think that there was a reason for both - the 6- & 8-speed to co-exist, for the same vehicle and uses...

    T-case PTO oil line check valve

    Good question! I know there are different PTO versions out there, but all three I have here take a common elbow fitting only, at the bottom, and then two 3/8", spring-loaded bearing balls inside the pump (head)housing, arranged accordingly, to function as valves. Given the orientation of...

    Dimension Details - Frame and Cab

    May be able to help out but need to know: tire size? wheel type? (width & backspace) single or tandem rear axles? end of frame would be with or W/O rear bumpers? bottom of cab, or bottom of tool & batt. compartments? G.

    I finally Had Enough...

    Well, the resulting TORQUE of your bodyweight X 5' should remain the same, with - or W/O extension (not considering inertia from jumping on the pipe's end). Of course, the real IMPACT effect (ANY impact tool) is only possible without extension; that is, no cushioning "torsion bar" in between...
