I am in the process of powering the winch with a hydro motor. Does any one know the specs for a motor that would work for it? What are the specs for the motor used on a M35A3?
Its a different engine, but similar. I put one 3 inch pipe into dual 5 inch stacks on a 1986 f350 with a 6.9 IDI. It sounded pretty good and was loud but with the windows up it was ok. And I had no problem with back pressure.
I recently bolted a 2.5 ton truck 10k garwood on my M818. I plan to make it hydro. I have some experience with pto winches. I use them on my holmes 500 and 600 wreckers. Hydros are so much more controllable, and if set up right safer. I dont know if it produces enough volume or pressure, but i'm...
Thanks for all the good wishes. They have a cast on it now. I'm now waiting for a CT scan to make sure every thing in the joint is where it should be. Everything has been going good until I was going through the house on my crutches, and stumbled and tried to stand on my foot. BIG MISTAKE I will...
I am out of work for a few days now. I fell off my 5 ton and broke my right heel. So everyone just be careful. This so far has been a very painful experience. And probably costly depending on how long I am outta work. All because I didn't watch where I put my foot. But it could have been worse...
I installed a 2.5 ton truck front winch and bumper. I got it cheap and needed a bumper it worked out nice. I do how ever have to figure out a way to run the winch.
It is a bit small for the truck. But truth is I never plan to need it. I got some older wreckers I use for winching heavy stuff. I just came across this winch and bumper set up for cheap and the truck needed a bumper, so why not.
Well I got the winch and bumper sitting on the front of the truck. Only a few holes line up so I'm gonna have drill some new holes. The five ton frame is around a inch taller than the 2.5 ton, so I'm gonna make some type of spacer. It will take up the space between the bottom of the frame and...
I recently came acquired a complete winch with the bumper and extensions from a M35a2( I think anyway). Someone cut it off the truck with a torch the pieces of the frame are still bolted to the extensions. I have no PTO, just a small piece of shaft that was also cut. I need a bumper on my M818...
Yes, it is still running well. I dont drive it as much right now because of the heat, but I have not had any problems. This is off topic but I blew the muffler out so I cut it out. I put in 4 inch pipe with a 6 inch stack. It is stupid loud.
I found some turn signal lamps that I had put up. I have been looking at the lolli pop lights but I just like the look, and I dont want anything on top of the fenders. So I got the idea to put the turn signals on the back of the fenders. I think it will really be help in showing a lane change or...
