Exactly my point! A newbe by themself can get in big trouble real quick. It is real easy for those who have used this type equipment for years to forget about the learning curve they went through. As my dad would say: "the school of hard knocks" For basic operation see:

The break fluid has two reservoirs. Dot 5 make.sure the oil.and.trans.fluids are.ok. Check the expansion tank level for.coolant. Mine had a JB Weld field fix.that leaked. Make sure.all.tires are properly inflated,.and.check them each time.you get fuel. Just basic.stuff. Trans fluid...

Oh, the Warn 18K is also much easier to install than a hydraulic.

Choosing a winch based upon cable length IMHO, is not very good logic as extension cables and straps are very reasonable in price. Unless you plan to use your winch for multiple recovers all day long, I would not consider the factory PTO driven winch at all. It is difficult to use, and is not...

Glad to hear you have not given up. The only big change that I would make is to start with a M35A3, rather than the A2. It is much more reliable and has much better manners in city driving I would go with no larger a tire than 46 inch. Get the same over drive that Eric has. For more power...

Let me guess... You got this idea from watching Ian on Extreme 4x4 ? The deuce bobbed shows.

I have a stock M35A3 that is my daily driver. I live in a.small town, and there are issues to consider. You always have to be looking ahead to plan turns. It is tough to see those little cars when turning or changing lanes. Parking can be a real mess. You don#t just jump in them and go...

Most dot.5 I have seen is clear.when new, and turns yellow with age. Only a few dot 5 are purple.. Harley is.purple... While that I got at.auto parts store.was clear.

I didn't get the controller with my winch. However, the pin size needed was a perfect fit for using the power connector from a computer floppy drive power extension. So I used 3 of the pins, some paper and epoxie glue and made one. The switch was less than $10 at the local electronics...

snatch block I bought that same snatch block at Tractor Supply. The first time I used it with my F-150 and Warn 12K winch it broke. Even since I have repaired it, I would not use it for anything. Still looking for one to use with my A3 and the 18K Warn electric winch.

\ I don't know why you would say that. I won't even starting getting close to getting into trouble with the 1/2 inch cable supplied by Warn until about 30,000 lbs pull. If I'm pulling my A3 out from being stuck, I doubt that it will ever come close to straining this winch. If it does, I can...

Cattlerepairman: "You did a smooth looking install there! I like the narrow clearances and the way you boxed the rails makes the thing very sturdy; likely better than the military winch install. Have you used the winch, yet and put some serious load on it? The front view is a real "this is what...

A3 electric winch install Here are some pics of the winch install I did on my A3. Installed A2 winch frame extensions, but shortened them a few inches. Boxed in the front with 3/8 plate steel on bottom between the frame rails, and also at the front between the frame rails. Wanted the winch...

Actually, the reply was intended for others who read this thread for info on how to do this themselves. I thought that was the purpose of retaining these old threads...

Here are some pics of the complete winch install. Installed A2 winch frame extensions from White Owl, but shortened them a few inches. Put 3/8 plate steel on bottom between the frame rails, and also at the front between the frame rails. Wanted winch flush with inside of bumper. Spliced in...

Why would you use an expensive 24 VDC to 12 VDC converter for the a/c clutch solonid when all you need is a simple and cheep voltage dropping resistor? If you measure the DC resistance of the clutch coil with an Ohm meter, just add a resistor of the same aproxamate value in series with the...

I work with turbines on a daily basis. Most of them being in the 200,000 hp and up power range. It is critical what speed this machine operates at. If the output is AC, then it would need to be some multiple of 1800, 3600 RPM... For a four pole or two pole generator to get 60 HZ. Otherwise...

No such luck. The best that I can tell, my A3 cab is identical to the A2. The only difference in size is that my hood has been made both wider and longer--just two added strips of tin pop riveted to it in a "T" pattern. Sorry to have the bad news. You could only get a couple more inches by...

Warn 18K 24 volt wench on Deuce (A3) I'm in the process of installing my Warn 18K 24 volt wench on my Deuce (A3) right now. I should finish up the installation in a day or two. (Work permitting). It is installed inside and between the frame wells with the roller flare head mounted flush to...

I'm currently in the process of installing a Warn 18K 24 volt wench on the front of my A3 right now. It is being mounted between the frame rails and should be complete in a day or two. I will be posting pics in the Deuce Hotrod forum when complete. There is a guy in FL who has a pallet of...
