We're gonna need some videos of you on that bad boy when it warms up :wink:

He was probably using a trailer dolley because the height of the 5th wheel on th M123 is too high for most trailers AND it uses a larger pin than most 5th wheels. The plate on the dolley is probably on backwards because it's easier to lower the trailer in front of the dolley and pull forward and...

Awesome...congrats! We're gonna need to see pictures BTW. :wink:

Dana 44 and Corporate 14 bolt full float axle swap

I see what you did there, very clever :wink: BTW, I'm suprised I haven't seen your truck since I'm just down the road in Helena.

Please do it and take a picture to prove all of us that we are wrong! I want to see what 500lbs of tongue weight will do to a 4 link. BTW, when you did the comp cut, did you brace your frame for the additional leverage that +2500lbs would add? Have you accounted for dynamic loads like if the...

Why don't you just go with an M101? It already has 8 lug axles and 16.5" rims, so you could run 37" HMMV tires on it. It's much lighter and easier to manuver over obstacles, and won't sink as easily in the mud.

Muddy water isn't real mud either :-P

I'd like to see some pics of your setup. BTW, the blazer has #1 to a bus behind the front seats for the radio equipment. I did a test fit and the tube lines up, but the pintle hitch is in the way. I'm going to see if it'll fit if I unbolt the top half of the pintle off.

Man, you need to invest in some tracks for your skidsteer.

Such a shame, that truck gave Freightrains wrecker a run for the money in the rust department! :lol: I'm still in need of a primary canister and some other misc parts so I may be heading up there next weekend.

Very Nice! Please report to the towing pics thread on PBB! :cool:

The plate just sees a shear load between the winch and the plate, and the plate and the receiver tubes. The 1/4" plate and grade 8 hardware is more than adequate to handle the shear load...at least in theory. :-P Here's the link to the tube - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest...

I think it'd still get in the way, rocks and stuff are uneven, you could easily snag a caster on a rock or tree limb or something. Plus, the cast iron of those casters would shatter on the first rock I smacked the front against.

Thanks! I hope it works once I get it all done. I don't usually need a winch, but I did get high centered once. I have pulled out a few people and having a winch would have come in handy. The one on the deuce would be nice, but the M35 would never have made it back there.

I've had a Harbor Freight 8000lb winch in my shop for about 4 years now. I only paid $60 for it since it was missing the solenoid pack and had a bent crossbar. A quick push from a hydraulic shop press straightened the crossbar out enough to mount back. I finally got around to mounting it on a...

I have to say that fixing the M35 is so incredibly simple. I wish all bodywork was that easy. Only the fender is incredibly heavy :D

Last spring I posted about how I messed up one of my deuces real bad while sliding down a muddy rut while off road. Well I finally got it put back together. I also mounted my arsenal refurbished winch since the old one had a broken engagement level (which is what cause my problems to begin with)...

Nice pics, but what the heck is all that white stuff?
