I have attached the repair TM for the MEP002A, if you check adobe page#'s 135 to 146 or TM page 7-30 to 7-41 it shows the IP removal and repair. You IP guts most likely will NOT look like the diagram. Before you remove it from the genny block, crack loose the 4 allen bolts and crack loose the...

Who needs bumperetts any way, they just get in the way right!

I have an improvement that I will incorporate into the next one. The only draw back is that if you are going to under mount a rear (electric?) winch, I haven't figured yet if the angled supports (new) might interfere, or not. I have also designed mine for the addition of a billion pound...

In regards to Joshuaz223 and AGE's posts I just wanted to share why I love this site and the tools in my garage. You can build something and ask for opinions and when you get feedback, you can go back out to your garage and make adjustments or additions. With a welder nothing is final. If...

AGE, The hitch I whipped up IS like a 3 point hitch (4). Four pins bing, bang, boom done! A lot of guys here don't like to drill into their trucks or weld aftermarket stuff that takes away from the original and historic look of these vehicles. This was the #1 factor behind this design, there...

Thanks, I measured some receivers I saw on some trucks and the side arms are 3/16" stamped plates. I am going to be cutting up some pieces this weekend to start fab on a rear unit for sale. Thanks all for the input! When I was putting mine together I opted not to put in the cross braces due...

Trd, I had the same prob., the mechanical guts of my IP were all gummed up from sitting and when I tried to start it an internal cross washer exploded. Did you read the thread I mentioned, PM me and I'll try to guide you.

Trdshowall, you said at first that your low pressure pumps would click and then slow down, that sounds about right as said before. I don't know if your know so sorry if you do, to start the mep's you have to hold the master switch in the preheat position for a good 30 - 60 count, then turn it...

I just put the hitch and a 3" drop receiver on my truck and measured from the ground to the top of the ball which is 22". This is the ball I use to tow my 17' boat trailer with and it tows flat. How much drop do you need to be flat? I would be a lot easier to buy a receiver with the drop you...

As a side note; I thought the air cooled MEP's required straight weight oil, like 30 or something?

Wooooooo, you confused me. To which pin do you speak? I have the lifting pin out, then I noticed the detent was flush to the yoke so thats when the spraying and tapping on the detent started, the detent never popped back out, now it is a little into its channel and won't come out. Oh I beat...

Anyone?

Thats really strange about the tie downs, the donor truck's look like an older style. Winch trucks have that 1/4" plate that Gringeltaube shows welded to their triangle bumper supports. I reused my triangles so I put the shackle mount on the bumper, slid in the front two bolts and put a plate...

So far the biggest tires I have put on a deuce are 1100R20's ....................... :ditto:

I suppose air assist would be a cheaper option due to all the mods. to install something like this. I know that the air-o-matic is a mil. aproved design/ unit, but don't you guys think it looks kind of cheesy and not so bullet proof so to say? I forget exactly how they work, but aren't you...

I just came accross this on ebay and the seller states it fits: M818 M54 5 ton M51 M52 and others. Does this look like something that could be modified to fit maybe outside the frame of the deuce and also using a U-joint type shaft?

If you do move the winch, check my thread "Complete winch mounting bolts". It is a complete bolt listing to replace the nasty bolts you will remove or break off. I agree with BFR's notes, its a lot of wrenching and the winch is heavy. To install the PTO you also have to drain the transmission...

Thats what I thought, oh well.

Now isn't thats a little dandy! You said 5ton but that doesn't look like a regular deuce winch, the rear end looks different and the lever is on the other side. Will that front roller adapt to the front deuce winch, I kinda don't think it will?

I don't know what to say, I am just using a household bathroom scale. I just measured the notch cutouts from the 2x6 that are sitting on my bench and they are 1/4" thick. I am also holding the receipt for the steel that shows the weight of the 36"x2"x6"x1/4" tube is 37 pounds. 36" divided by...
