I agree with the picture problem of trying to make them smaller, it can be a pain. I know some sites classifieds automatically resize the picture, maybe that could be added to the wish list of the new classifieds.
I frequently scan the classifieds for things I need (or want) but get really frustrated with so many things listed with no price. I can understand not putting a price on the front page if you are selling multiple items or parting out a vehicle and list the prices in the body of the ad but why...
Thanks to all who offered to help, I did make a deal with a guy who is going to pick up my stuff. If I get more stuff from there I will probably offer up the same deal.
Thanks, Scott
Is that really what it is or are you just messing with him? I've always wondered myself but never looked into it. It almost sounds like something made up on "Tool Time" made by Binford Tools!
I did get a quote from OKC Auction Services and it is really fair. I will probably go with them unless someone wants to go with the spin on oil filter kit that I also offered. It would be a good deal for someone in the area with a deuce. I would rather trade than have to put out any more cash...
I bought 2 small boxes of parts in Oklahoma City and need some help getting them shipped. I think they will fit in 2 large flat rate boxes (3 at the most) so if someone is familiar with those that would be great, or if you get a good rate at your work UPS is fine too. Here's what I was thinking...
That's ok, I just appreciate your good advise. I just got done fixing it, found a line on a deuce that was a little longer so with a "custom" bend it fits perfect! With that out of the way I read up on the manual and tested out the wrecker, everything works! Now I can go lift a bunch of stuff...
Ya I went emergency to emergency, when I went red on my deuce to the yellow (service) on the 5 ton it just made the brake pedal super stiff. Red to red fills the air system on the 5 ton.
Man that worked great! After I figured out which glad hand to use I found the source of my air leak, the drain line that connects the two air tanks under the drivers side step had a big slit in it. Looks like water froze in it, obviously somebody before me forgot to drain the tanks daily! I...
I went out yesterday to try to solve the issue of zero air pressure in my wrecker and I may have found it. On top of the air pack there is a line that goes straight up into a 90 degree fitting and then points toward the passenger side, on that is a large (looks like 1/2") line that has a bend...
From the looks of that picture it looks like they made them two different ways, one looks set up for the front and on looks set up for the back by putting the plate on different sides.
Is the tranny for sure engaging in reverse and it feels like something is binding? My guess is the parking brake assembly or maybe a u-joint. If water got into something and it froze it would for sure brake loose with the torque/gearing of a deuce. And by the way, wind has no effect on inanimate...
I can only speak for the Ouversons that they are very well built. I used a set of lockouts on my mud truck in my avatar for 1 1/2 years when I had the 16 spline shafts and never had a problem with them. Thats with 725 HP and 57" Rice & Cane tires. The only problem I had (my own fault) was from a...
