    Making Winch Parts for M135/M211

    You may need to be a little more specific. It's the same winch as the M35's. Are you talking parts in the winch driveline?

    Fuller 9 spds and Mack engines?

    Hey Vintage Iron...if you catch me in the right mood I may consider selling my 475hp Silver 92 and RTO 12513 (13speed) tranny. :mrgreen:

    I got a KNUCKLE BOOM !! Need mesurments

    Why double the frame?!? The base under the knuckle boom is what spreads the load out. Standard frame is sufficient...outriggers take the loaded load off the frame (you know what I mean) and the frame base spreads it out on the frame. The 'mog spider frame is a good idea but overkill on a...

    M747 destroyed by crooks

    My one buddy took a bunch of copper wire into a recycler and the guy asked him if it needed to be cut up and gone quick. ?! Then, at the extreme opposite of that CSR in Harrisburg refused to take some aluminum I brought in because it wasn't what they typically see. I got talking to the guy...

    If the lower lights are blocked it is okay to run the upper lights in my area. It would be like you have a plow on the front with the elevated headlights because of them being blocked. On my 406 you could only run either the top or the bottom lights- not both. You literally had to pick which...

    Lockout hubs

    Yes, thanks. Splined on both ends. I was thinking flanged because I got a pair of those double splined shafts WITH his drive flanges for Velvet back in the day before heading to TTC.

    925 5 ton question - CDL Required?

    I just took and passed my knowledge portion of the PA CDL test. I got the air brake endorsement and tanker endorsement. The guy told me that over 50,000 people fail the CDL test in PA yearly. I will say the knowledge portion is pretty tough. Still have to take the skills test, going for...

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    Well, yes and no- once you know how to run them you'll usually only know they're there when you need them. My 8,000lb M715 with Rockwells and Detroits saw about 7,000mi street driving with lockers and it was very polite. However, if you have the funds to go ARB and the installation cost...DO...

    I should soon have the steel for my frame base then I can lift it off, get that fabbed and get'er on for good! A month or so ago I did not renew gf's contract (ha,ha) and have a new one so you'll prolly beat me getting the crane on! :mrgreen:

    5 ton lockout hubs

    If there's a chance of it being low profile like the old Selectro units, I don't think it would matter too much. guys with a wider single wouldn't much matter. If it's going to stick out a bit it may be better to have aluminum so if something does get smacked it doesn't take out the rest of...

    20k garwood winch question ?

    Yep, Jeff's right- that's the in-out clutch handle not drag brake.

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    Lets say you pull into your parking spot by turning into it and your hubs are locked in and your Detroit quietly in action. When you turn one tire turns faster than the other-- with the locker they turn the same speed so axle parts have to take up some of that rotation. Usually it will build to...

    Bought an M931...now what?

    ALSO, I posted this question in another post but not sure if anyone followed it up; by the way the transfer case was described as working, when you put it in low range it automatically pulls in the front axle. Of course you can pop something because the front axle has all the traction in the...
