Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I am going to build a frame for it using square tube attached to both frame rails. I'll post about it when I get it done which won't be for awhile since it's backordered for at least a couple weeks.I've been drooling oover those bed cranes for a while now. Let us know how it works out. I'm really interested in how well it pivots under load.
Biggest issue I see is a solid mounting point for it.
Passed someone driving 50 mph on a State Highway!!!!

I'm about to put little flags on my door, I'm feeling

Just got done replacing vacuum regulating valve(the one on the IP)Tonight switched out vacuum pump,mine is a 1009,replaced with a a used one from a 1008,the gear on my original was tapered much more than the one I replaced it with,but seems all is good.I still have oil pressure,will throw vac. gauge on tomorrow to check....Also tried to change cdr valve,is there a clip under the bottom of it remove? CDR valve figured out (beer related).Vacuum from pump 24 inches,vacuum from vacuum regulating valve on IP 0 inches...Going out to replace that now. Picked one up last month just in case.
I celebrated to soon.Went out this morning at 530am motor wouldn't crank,solonoid clicking.Checked batts.,solonoid,and connections all good. Hit starter with hammer started right up! Time to order another starter.Just got done replacing vacuum regulating valve(the one on the IP)
With cheap Chinese made SunPro vac./boost gauge 24inches from new/used pump,12 inches out of reg.valve,12 inches at transmission..My successes are starting to outweigh my defeats with my 1009.Finally!
