Joe, you know we have a sick addiction, post yer list, we'll buy the stuff. Did you deplete your inventory of headlights already?

MVtrucker · 01-16-2008, 12:44

Just read your Post, Kenny. I'm out of headlights. Haven't had any for a while. I have two boxes that I thought were headlights, but they're M35A2 NOS metal front lights.

My deuce has a shear pin size that seem different. It's 5/16.
does anyone else have that size?
I ordered shear pins, once, but, they were far to large. THey were correct for someones deuce, just not mine.....
Does anyone have this size?
Thanks,
HEnry

5/16" sounds right. I can't check because after my above Posting, I sold out.

You had 5 ton pins, 5/16 is correct. randy

There are a couple of folk that know the alloy but it's not been shared. I was going to set out on a mission to find that out but life has been busy.

Posted this in a previous thread......

"Found a reference to the alloy for the 260 series 5-ton winch (5315-00-209-7979), it is the 2017, probably -T4 temper, which has a shear strength of 38,000 psi.
It's a start... "
