    Controlling winch cable

    A question for all who have used their winches. When unlocking the winch clutch and brake to pull out the cable, the drum spins very easily, and the cable will unspool faster than I'm pulling it. My concern is the cable will bind itself unspooling too fast. How do ya'll keep the cable from...

    Winch PTO gaskets

    Howdy do! I've started the winch installation on a w/ow Deuce, and have read the recommendations of installing the PTO before mounting the winch. And have read where multiple PTO gaskets may be required to get the right backlash on the PTO. Anyone know where extra gaskets are available...

    Old tire disposal

    While crawling around under the truck today checking fluids, I was looking at the spare tire, both mine and the truck's. Mine probably won't go away anytime soon, but the truck's is dry rotted and unusable. Knowing that there are places that sell newer 9x20 NDT tires already mounted on wheels...
