Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Moving the fifth wheel plate back would put the load behind the center pivot of the tandem axle, potentially taking too much weight off the front axle.Ray, could you have moved the 5th wheel plate farther back and been ok with the weight distribution?
Good job! Looks like a really handy tool to have!Old transfer case out and new transfer case in and everything hooked up in 6 hrs!
Thanks to QUADJEEPER for his much needed help, could not have done this without him.
Used the military transfer case/transmission hoist, this device really simplifies removal and install.
The swap couldn't have gone smoother in spite of getting rained on!

Got the hoist from highfavor, thanks AJ!I am glad that it has came of use again.
Thanks Ray! Not too bad on the cranks, maybe two minutes from top to bottom, but a little more resistance on the way back up.How many cranks on that ratchet to get the transfer case into position Ray, hundreds? Made my arm tired just thinking about it! That wench is just the ticket though, I'm sure it would have been a bigger pain doing it any other way.
to both of you!
