Even wreckers don't like towing wreckers. They are heavy and only want to go in a straignt line and tend to not want to stop. Doing any of the above mentioned things with a deuce is asking for trouble. Always use the same size or larger truck for a tow vehicle. Use tow bars and chains and air...

A friend brought his deuce into the shop last week. His complaint was that since he went running around in deep mud, his brakes stick intermittenly. I tested the brakes and found that they do work. I removed all the wheesl and found mud inside the wheels. That the rear brakes were worn to the...

Any vehicle with a GVWR of 26001 LBS Needs to have a CDL to drive it. Any truck with Air brakes needs the endorcement for air brakes. You can't get an AIR BRAKE endorcement on a passenger class license. You need to have a CDL first. It can't be any more plain than that. All you nitwits that...

Of course you want one.... The best toy for any collector isa wrecker. Unfortunately, I now belong to the" used to have " club. If my health would alow it, I would get another one.

You're dreaming. You have to change the whole hub,brake drums andthen buy the budd wheels. Stick with the dayton hubs. You can get tubless rims and tires cheaper that going through all the expense of changing over.
