Well it looks like TNJ Murray has a completely rebuilt unit for $800. They are about 15 miles from me. Does that seem like a good deal? I cant tell if it is manual or air but being i have air i can just swap the parts over right? I am not sure if i want to sell the truck now, after having done...
I searched quite a few threads where people had foudn similar pieces and driven 10,000 miles plus and when it finally went it just made a whining noise and there was shaft play on the input shaft. I really didnt think it was that big of an issue as far as safety. Can the ball bearings really...
Hey guys! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Last night i was outside just finishing up the full service on my M35A2, and everything was going great, nothing but small amounts of metal dust on the magnets, perfectly normal, then i pulled the plug on the transfercase. I'm pretty sure it's the fabled...
I love talking about parking!
And your truck is a war veteran as well so it should get premier parking over those plastic roller skates. i think the greenest most american cars are the new Passats. I bough one, they are made in Chatanooga Tennesse, get over 50mpg, and still burn diesel ;)
It makes a huge difference i you carry other polocies with the people you are trying to get a commercial policy through. USAA doesnt offer any discounts through progressive so you are just as well going with anyone else.
They did ask me if i had seats in it, i told them no. i also submited pictures of it from every angle with all the info they could ever need. They forwarded it all to the underwriter and it was approved so i am sure i am ok. i could see them not wanting people riding in the back but arent your...
Wow that's insane. I have USAA for my other vehicles and homeowners
2001 2500hd 4x4 cclb, duramax/allison
2011 subaru forester
2012 passat tdi
450k house policy
wife and i on insurance (25/26) 50k/100k/ limits full coverage, 250deduc, i pay about 2k a year for everything, homeowners is only...
i wanted to update that i triple checked with USAA insuring my deuce. I had it insured with full coverage, 50k/100k, and i explained to them what it is and it was insured for $28 a month. My dad got in a horrible car accident last month so i decided i would check with them again after seeing how...
I dunno, i guess ive just done it enough it never seemed all that dangerous to me. ive only ever done it in my to30 never my farmall 504 row cropper. the to30s a much smaller more manageable tractor.
Oh im not talking about flying full speed yanking it, im talking about controlled clutch slips to try to tug it out. He got it out anyway, and you are right it is dangerous.
I understand its dangerous but you're riding the clutch to pull it so you just let off as its coming up, no different than you push the clutch to stop from running into a fence, and no more common sense to excersise that not leaning over the side and getting run over by your own tractor. I say...
Gross combined weight is gvwr of truck(9200), plus gvwr of trailer(22,000). I can tag my truck over the mgvwr so its at 12,000 so technically i am tagged for 34,000lb gcvwr. This is only for personal use, if it were for a busniess i would have much larger truck/trailer with air brakes on the...
I still think the 9n will pull more than either the h2 or h3. You can have all the power in the world, traction is the limiting factor. Those balasted 9n ag tires strapped higher on the 3pt as mentioned will transfer all weight to the wheels and lift the front end, which i why i would suggest...
Oh i see. i remember asking him if it had 10 lug axles, he told me no they didnt use them anymore. that makes sense now. Haha my driveway is 1/4 mile gravel rd. 102 acres around here of nothing but completely flat farm land pretty much at sea level.
Oh yeah i didnt even think to mention i live in DE. There isnt a single hill or bridge with a grade above maybe 2% within a 90 miles radius haha. I wouldnt dare tow anything like that up and down some of the grades ive been through in pa and va. I did bring a 12k backhoe home through some steep...
My TO30 is about the same as a 9n i do have a 3 speed Sherman, no dif nock, but selective use of the brake pedals can remedy that. I will say that i had a rim get pretty ruined and beign the tractor isnt much good powerwise for anything didnt want to spend the money for a new rim, tire, tube etc...
I can confirm this technique does work haha. Ive done it a couple times in my pick up using my tractor, i did put my truck in 4 low, and partially set the parking brake (its an auto though) so that the wheels were barely turning. The deuce in low rage is wildly powerful though and being a...
It was an old oliver backhoe, was supposed to weigh around 10k when i went to pick it up, i guessed it somewhere around 12k though from everything ive moved with the truck. so i probably was only pulling 14k total (i had brought a smaller trailer) but it was absolutely fine at highway speeds. I...
