Need 24v to 12v converter for dump bed
Don Ballard has/had some for sale in the classifieds section. DC-DC converters. 24VDC to 12VDC. I believe they're good for supplying up to 35 amps too. I ordered a couple from him, and when they came in they looked brand new. Still wrapped up in styrofoam and plastic. Circuit breaker... -

Bad sprag...driveable?
OK, posting this for s friend with an 816. There is suspicion that the 816's sprag could be bad. Apparently, one day there was a loud BANG noise, and now when driving in soft dirt/mud and trying to turn, the front wheels don't turn the truck...the truck just plows forward.

Winch Help.
On my deuce and 5 ton winches, when going both into and out of gear (the handle on the winch, not in the cab), most times I've had to roll the drum back and forth some to get the handle to either engage or release. If there is tension on the drum, the handle may not move freely. The top of the... -

Be careful with jacks
