I'm real sure that I would want to have at least four bolts, holding that thing on. There is a reason for having four, when it goes bouncing down the road empty. Lee in Alaska

Good Job! Lee in Alaska

A great truck. i have been all over the North country with one of those. You'll want to get that air cleaner hooked back up. The is a right angle bend that goes on the rear of the carb & connects to a hose that go up to the air cleaner. There was a small pipe to match the one on the...

Your right on.... A couple of comments though. You may, or may not have to remove the bearing cap. In some applications, and or, some Guys will just pry out the old seal and replace it with a new one. In some trannys, there will be a stack of shims under the bearing cap. You just have to be...

I know that it has been said already, but I will say it again: Be sure to raise the landing gear!!!!! It is easy to forget to raise it. Many have been left down - they are hard to work later. Do a walk around, before you are ready to go. Remember too, that little trailer will cheat going...

Yeah, and the drive line for it, as I remember, is two pieces. The control levers, are the hard part too. As usual, if you can find a doaner truck, your going to be much better off, then you will get everything. Lee in Alaska

Sure! There are a couple of spacers that go on each side of the winch, between the frame members. It can be made from 1/2" x 6". The stock setup used special bolts that went into the winch ends. Youl need the PTO. It drives from the T-case, as the tranny is an auto. The drive line can be...

Nice trailer. To haul two, load one in the back Deuce. I loaded one once with a couple of planks and a cable "come along". Otherwise, turn one up side down, and load it on top of the first trailer. Often, on the Bases, there is a loading ramp, somewhere (if they will let you use it). Lee in...

That is sharp. What size tires are those? Lee in Alaska

In mounting tires, the shops use a vegetable based tire soap/grease. That helps prevent the damage to the bead and helps it to slide in place. Then out in the future, when you have to change the tires out again, you will be real happy, that you used it. It is sold in a pail. I use it straight -...

That 2x4 is not strong enough, for what you are doing with it, especially if you use air or ether. Don't trust it. Lee in Alaska

M-105 / same #'s as steering

I don't think you have it exactly right. In most States, you get 550#'s / inch of tire. That will apply to your steering axle, times two tires. You get 34,00#'s (in Calif.) for a tandem group - or 550#'s/ tire (times eight), which ever is more conservative. So the way I get it, your good for...

Its worth a try! It should be OK with new air. Lee in Alaska

Your better off buying one that is set up already. There is more to the brakes, hoses, and relay/emergency valve then you think. Brakes are sort of nice & will keep that thing from trying to pass you. Lee in Alaska

Nice job!

That is not usual. Bet somebody ran it dry once. Good that you weren't on the road somewhere. Although I did have a T-case input bearing go once, in an M211. Lee in Alaska

Hope you put "Never Sieze" on that grade 8 hardware. Then maybe they won't have to be drilled out the next time. Lee in Alaska

I got the full set of "supposedly NOS" harness from Vintage Powerwagon. I had the same sort of problems, but there were many other bugs too. Like a male fitting to go to a light, when it shuld be female, etc. the implication was, that if you layed it out on the floor, it will all hook together...

Absolutely! Lay the winch in the position that you would like to have it working in, then re -assemble it so that the input, etc., is in the direction you want it to be in. Garwood made it so it would have universal application. When your done, you'll appreciate the winch a whole lot more. The...
