I think so, I didn't add the hinge to the winch PTO shift lever. The engagement lever on the winch itself also has a hinge lockout. Didn't bother with it on the dump lever, maybe in the future if I end up bumping it in gear. Dennis

Glad you figured out the login Spicergear. Well I finally got my dump done. Used a heavy push pull throttle cable for the up and down valve, mounted it next to the drivers door. Made up a lever for the PTO engagement and put it next to the winch PTO handle. Bolted the lift to the bed with...

It has crossed my mind. Adding another valve and a set of quick connects wouldn't be that hard. Not sure about running a log splitter, seems like overkill to use a duece. Maybe run a snow plow? Dennis

Got the hoses installed, filled up the tank, and made the bed go up and down. Working on the cable for the valve. Going to use what I have laying around, have some old lawn mower cables that should work, and a choke cable out of an old truck.

Yep, I was still editing and adding pics, got timed out once. Dennis

The second pic from the bottom shows the top of the tank. Pump, valve, and tank are all one piece. There is a 1" shaft coming out the front of the tank, it drives the pump inside. Here is a pic of just the tank. Yes, 8 degrees.... and dropping to 0 tonight, and 4-8 inches of snow tomorrow...

Okay, still working on this project, just been busy. REALLY cold out tonight, was 8 degrees when I was working on it. I did modify one crossmember slightly, just cut and bent the edge of one down some, and welded. Got the pto, pto driveshaft, and hydrualic pump installed. Was going to...

Well after many hours of work this weekend, I got the lift installed. The upper part of the lift is just tack welded for now, waiting for a friend to arc weld it. Figured I would let someone who knows what they are doing for the heavy welding, I haven't welding with an arc welder since high...

Okay, got some pics up :D Had fun getting the bed up. Attached a chain to the front of the bed, and to a tree behind the deuce, about 12 feet up. Drove the deuce foward, and up went the bed! I figured out what capacity lift I have. 6" dia, 29" stroke cyl. Lift has 8.5 feet of stroke. 6"...

Well I am measuring the lift, and looks like I have somewhere between 7 and 8 feet of lift. The hinge is 1 foot in, so I will be lifting 11 feet of bed. I will have a more accurate measurement when I go to install the lift. That should be plenty, I will be able to put the lift towards the...

I changed the title of this thread, since I am posting all my pics and info on my dump conversion. First couple of posts deal with angle of bed, and then install. What angle of lift would you recommend for a dump bed? I have the hinge installed, trying to figure out where to put the lift...
