    My New Knuckle-Boom Deuce Thread.

    You're welcome! This post has the wire numbers for the truck side. 22-460 is Right Turn. 22-461 is Left Turn. 21 is Tail Lights.

    My New Knuckle-Boom Deuce Thread.

    Thanks, glad it helped somebody! Looking at the pictures in my post, I think that's right, but I couldn't tell you for sure. I've slept since then, and I don't want to dismantle mine to look at the wire colors. But, I wouldn't bank on all Chinese relays having the same wire colors anyway, so...

    My New Knuckle-Boom Deuce Thread.

    Installed a Bendix AD9 air dryer to keep moisture out of the system and keep the airpacks happy. Had the braided stainless steel lines left over from another project and they happened to be the right size and length. I still need a 24V heating element, and need to run the wire for it. And after...

    And it's mounted! Perfect fit!

    My New Knuckle-Boom Deuce Thread.

    Another reason for moving the hydraulic pump is it was in the way of having a spare tire in the stock location. With the pump relocated, I could install a spare tire mount. After more staring and measuring, I decided a stock mount could go back in the stock location, but would have to be lowered...

    Picked it up at a swap meet awhile back and this is the first time I've used it. Haven't tried it in the horizontal position yet.

    My New Knuckle-Boom Deuce Thread.

    After lots of cutting, grinding, and hammering, I finally got the pump bracket off the truck. I figured I would be able to reuse the bracket, but would have to modify it a bit. It needed more upward adjustment... There was just enough room for the bracket to fit perfectly on the transfer...

    In keeping with my signature, I laid under the truck and stared at it for a good long while, and here's what I came up with...

    My New Knuckle-Boom Deuce Thread.

    The shaft seal on the hydraulic pump for the boom gave out and was pouring oil, so I had to replace it and the shaft bearing. It was a challenge find a new seal cause neither the pump nor the seal had markings on them that could be crossed to anything. I finally found a seal by measuring the...

    My New Knuckle-Boom Deuce Thread.

    I originally made the mounting holes 1/2", but decided to go up to 5/8" instead. All the fabricating is done, just waiting for the rain to stop so I can paint and mount it. I did find out that the neck of the trailer will hit the bed, so I can't put a trap door in the bed and will have to...

    Well I finally got back to working on the gooseneck hitch.

    I hate to admit it, but the stump won. Even with all the brakes locked and extra weight on the back, it still just drug it across the concrete.

    I like it! Is that an electric winch? That looks like a convenient out-of-the-way place to store the towbar.

    Another box-truck box. I don't have any pictures of loading it, but I used the boom to lift and drag it up over the back of the trailer.

    Loading up a box-truck box from the local junkyard. And unloading it.
