A friend owns a truck that I've been working on, keeping it repaired and using it. But now he wants to sell it. asking $4000. I would like to know what it would likely sell for on the current market. It's an M35, 465 multifuel engine with dump bed and winch, not in perfect condition...

Thanks to m16ty and this forum to make the connection, I now have the needed repair parts. Thanks a whole lot.

yes, too hard of a shear pin. that's another link that wasn't weak enough. I just installed the winch on a nonwinch truck and made the drive line from an old 1 ton ford driveshaft that happened to have same size U joints as the one on the pto. carved the coupler out of a solid bar, drilled...

Oh yes, m16ty, how much ya want for it? I'd come get it tomorrow. don't think I need a whole new winch. Maybe I should go back and look it over more carefully and make sure nothing else is broke. I'll do that in the morning.

Thank's I'll run over and see what Alax has and if his price is too high I may bid on one of those. I could run down and pick it up easy enough. I've worked in the woods alone for over 20 years, no serious problems yet, I just think things through real good and arrange things to be safe...

yah I know, should have had someone watching it, but I'm a lone worker. done it several times and got away with it. was winching loaded truck up a steep slick road, cable piled up on one side and jammed, broke gear housing. So now truck is stuck on the slick hill till I get it fixed...

already have an old 5 ton to work on, but would rather keep it whole. (and it's not a road worthy machine without a lot of work) the parts rig is an unknown unlabled 2.5 ton truck. was being used by a rock company, engine started knocking and it was retired.

LOL I can immagine 5 ton axles on a cj, horrendous overkill. and hi Kyle, I'm N4ISF. I'm inclined to try it as soon as I can find time to work on it. it's a 2WD truck now and was a refrigerated delivery truck before I took the box off and put a flatbed on it. But it seems to have been...

I'm sure somebodys done it, put a pair of 2.5 ton axles and a transfer case under an ordinary 1 ton truck. I have an '87 ford I fixed up to use but I'm more in need of it as a heavier duty 4x4. and with a deuce parts truck sittin here. Looks like the rear axle will fit fine, front has...

commen problem, I developed a couple missing posts on the dozer before i learned the importance of keeping the terminals clean and tight. 24V is welding voltage and a slight gap caused by poor connection will cause a welding arc to start. might be able to rebuild it with a good hot...

It's a similar design as the ramsey winch on my 3/4 ton dodge truck, same type of drive setup anyway. It's an 8000 rated winch, and gets used plenty, although it's a bit slow and weak for what it gets used for. I've used it for pulling truck with trailer load of logs up a slick woods...

I have a hole in the same place, plan on hammering out a piece of sheet metal to fit and welding. a bit thin but not hard to do with a bit of welding experience. probably could hammer one to fit and screw it on if ya hate welding.

I've thought about the posibility of putting a pair of drive axles on a trailer and connecting a drive line to them, but getting the drive line around the corner on a tight turn would present a slight problem. That would only work good with a disengage slide at the front end of drive, and...

I lost a rear wheel on a 4x4 subaru going up a mountain, nut came off the axle spindle, wheel rolled off into the woods, I pulled off into a deep ditch. A fella who sells tow insurance stopped and give me a ride to a parts store to buy a new nut. (I bought his tow insurence as well and...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Left Hand Lugs? we used to have a 1960 half ton dodge pickup that had lefts on 2 wheels, but someone had swapped sides with one of them so lefts and rights were cross corners from each other. we bought that thing in 68 for $400 and drove it till in the 90's when i retired...
