    winch assembly problem

    I just received the winch parts that I had ordered from Memphis. The new clutch shifter shaft has the keys 180 degrees opposite from each other (for the fork and the handle). I dry fit the new shaft and this is the SOLUTION! Having the key ways 180 from eachother allows the handle detent ball...

    Looking for the specific difference between "Split Rings" and "Split Rims/Widowmaker"

    The way that the deuce rims are designed are in some opinion - safe. So here it is, with the rubber on the rim and the bead in its normal location, the rings cannot come off. The rubber bead edge is over the ring so, the ring cannot expand to come off of the lip on the main rim because the...

    winch assembly problem

    I am pulling my hair out with the same clutch handle problem. I have taken off the clutch side of the winch to see what is the hold up. The nipples on the inside of the forks look like they have too much gap to the bottom of the channel in the clutch engagement unit and the ears of the forks...

    MEP 003A Questions: Help please

    My gauge occasionally has a mind of its own, a couple of wacks on the transducer some times sets her straight. From what I have heard is if your check the convience outlets with an alternate meter and get 60HZ then its probably a bad transducer in the control box. If you set the HZ to around...

    Recycling Perfectly Good Deuce Bed

    Is there someone nearby willing to go get it and just hold it until the right person comes along? Isn't NM full of MV junkies?

    2" removable receivers

    Thank you for your parise and input. I'm going to add 1"x1 1/2" box tubing on an angle from the uprights to the horizontal boxing as a stabilizer meeting at the bottom just above the receiver and 1/2" thick triangle plates from the uprights forward to the base and the same triangles matching to...

    Front Receiver Hitch

    Its gonna be heavy! Which will make it awkward to hook up alone. I balance it on my knee as I line up the holes and put in the top two pins.

    Front Receiver Hitch

    Well I'd start by mounting your shackle mounts under the bumper. You are going to need a spacer plate to fit where the rear two bolts go. You can use 1/4" x 5/8" diameter washers, but I made plates. If I can borrow a shackle mount from a friend maybe I can make up some plates just for this...

    Front Receiver Hitch

    Right, gotcha. Can you send me some dimentions? I would need to know the size of the base footprint and if the crane needs any clearance around the back side. It looks like the part that slips off is at the top of the upright pole, so you'd have that pole sticking up all the time unless we all...

    Front Receiver Hitch

    How do you want to mount it? As a 2" insert? I don't think that would be a good idea, if you were lifting straight off the front it might be ok, but as soon as you pivot L/R you will be twisting on the 2x2 insert into the receiver and probably bend/destroy the crane to 2x2 connection. On the...

    Front Receiver Hitch

    That was my whole reason for making the front receiver, just juggling trailers around in my yard. It is soooo much easier being attached in the front, you can not only see better, but you can turn tighter and put trailers where you want.

    Having some leak issues need some help

    I just drove mine today, mid day it was like 60-65, with the winter front on. To the dump. I drove about 6 miles with the cover completely closed and the temp guage got up to 220 and stayed stable. At the dump I folded the flaps all the way open and drove home. The temp guage cooled to about...
