The easiest albeit expensive is to install an electric over hydraulic brakes actuator in place of the air unit. They seem to start around 500 $USD These things are already 12v. What I assume your pickup truck is 12v ?? Good luck, Jakob

VDO makes dozens of ratio adaptors, I dont know if they make something that would directyl screw into your set-up, You may have to reconfigure your speedo-cables to make it work for you. Personally I would leave it alone and just mentally compensate to the added percentage as you drive along...

If you go ahead and tow this trailer, I'm sure you will enjoy the fuel bill just for hauling the trailer it's self. never mind the load. Some posts are just too daft to be serious. This one sounds like bait to me, But I just couldn't resist... Jakob

Thanks a lot. But rats, the arched height is perfect, I hoped they would be at least 86" Looks like its a job for my woodshop afterall... Jakob

Rather than a toggle switch, And if it turns out you can't get a proper thermostat switch You might go one better and install a timer relay to the circuit. The fan would just come on at a set time after the machine is up and running and you don't forget to switch on the fan. Good luck, That...

Some time past one of my buddies did this, Not a deuce, and probably not many of you will understand it but the pictures can help a lot. Traktorvagn av lastbil :: Maskinisten Driving the axels might be practical by hydraulics. It would only be used for low speed manouver and getting unstuck...

Great pictures of an awesome snowcutter machine, I am disappointed the cab has no roof hatch... I realise the cab is narrower than the chassis but its still a vital safety feature. Jakob

As we know its a treat to have the rear lights available for hitching up, working or something... I dont know or care the laws here about it, My lights work on a transmission swtch as usual and someplaces legal requirement... They also have a timer switch connected so they may be turned on as...

Looks good ! Unlike you I prefer curvier things,,, I've got a '60 civilian model longbed PW. Its been repowered with a Mercedes turbo diesel and other bits and bobs of a D309 series truck. Good luck to your project. Jakob

That's a great feature of those chains, does not need tools to change a crosslink, Or modify the whole set. I always known that type of swiveling crosslinkchains is intended for mud. But I've got both kinds for a lot of my equipment they work fine either way snow/ice or mud. Jakob

Being as yours is missing you may be a bit handicapped. I've always brought my brakeparts to my counterman and he comes back with a brand new in the box from Bendix, Wagner or whoever. That $91.00 does not seem too out of line, Years ago I replaced one was about $65. Jakob

Exhaust brakes are great on small trucks, Very simple to install. You will find it very worthwhile. A full on compression brake (JakeBrake) is not real practical on something as small as a deuce. Generic name or not, Jacobs Company will get real cheesed off and take legal action when they find...

Yes, regular incandesant headlamps emit a great deal of heat energy. During a good storm I will have giant icicles form under my headlamps from the melt off and re-freezing when the water moves away from the heat off the lamp. Rgds, Jakob

Very cool headlamps, But I wonder how they might fare with ice & snow, Do they emit enough heat to keep themselves melted off ? A 600$ experiment this winter,,, No I don't think so... Jakob

American Lock most always has mushroom or serrated pins in at least 2 stacks and often all stacks. These locks are tough to pick or bump. The 5200 (IIRC...) has an oval plate around the keyway. Adjacent to the keyway is what appears a rivethead. Its hardened but can be drilled. This removes...

Too bad this picture is not a SEE tractor. Its a Case MB494 done up in a cammie paintjob. But in all fairness. Its reasonably close depiction of a SEE tractor. Jakob Also the picture is inverted 180 deg., note the airintake and fueltank is on wrong sides.
