    Zout's Cookout

    Sure hope no one POSSOM NAPS that rodent again like what happened at the MVPA convention, WM was a SIGHT to SEE, you could see just by looking at him that he was about to pop because his blood pressure was so HIGH, he was on the war path, in fact he was SO agitated that he could hardly talk (...

    Bobbed '71 deuce price check

    Why buy a NEUTERED 6x6 for a high price when you can BUY a REAL MV for a lot less, just because it has been cut up and modded does not mean it is worth more money. Just like a old piece of furniture sells for a fairly cheap price, call it a "antique" and it sells for a higher price.

    M936 Boom hoist mod to double cable length?

    Yes, a military off road wrecker is designed for that OFF ROAD recovery, motor pool lifting (pulling power packs, ect.) and at one time for loading missiles on launchers. I am not saying that you can not use a tactical military wrecker or even just the bed in the civi world, just that you will...

    M936 Boom hoist mod to double cable length?

    The military wreckers USE 1/2" wire rope for the hoist line. You CAN NOT run smaller cable, the drum is a FLUTED drum (not a flat drum but ridges for the wire rope to ride in) these flutes ARE set to support 1/2" w/r under LOAD, if you use a thinner cable, the cable will not be supported so it...

    M936 Boom hoist mod to double cable length?

    If he makes the drum wider, the load would be the same on the drum drive and brake, the problem he might have will be getting the cable to lay right on a wide drum (the fleet angle might be to tight), if he went to a fatter drum (higher flanges), then the extra wraps WOULD put a lot of extra...

    M936 Boom hoist mod to double cable length?

    Double the width of the drum, you would need to make NEW drum mounts.

    Any tips on getting cable to wrap right with a level winder?

    We just used the tensioner on Swiss's m62 and a 3lb hammer (used at the start to get the first two wraps tight against the drum flange) to REwrap the cable on the rear winch, after the first two wraps, the cable spooled on just fine just using the level wind.

    Any tips on getting cable to wrap right with a level winder?

    ALSO the kink needs to be Unkinked THEN straighten the cable by some reverse bending in order to get the cable to wrap right.

    I have a large MAGNET that I will put behind the 819 so FERROs dropped RUST (may be a important part) can be returned to him.

    Top Speed worries?

    A FRONT blow out is a REAL attention getter, which in my case no one got hurt just the 819 got busted up (air born landings tend to break things)
