    bobbed and lifted deuce

    i guess if Tensile Strength is the only measure of a welds strength that matters to you thats great. there is a reason 7018 or its equivalent is used on structural welds. while i haven't stayed current in the last 7 years. when i quit welding low hydrogen rod 7018 up to 11018 or its dual shield...

    bobbed and lifted deuce

    sorry to rain on your parade but er70s is not the equivalent to 7018. 7018 is a low hydrogen rod for high strength welds on high strength steels. there are no solid wires that equal 7018 but there are dual shield wires that meet the same specs. pre heating also has a lot of other uses it allows...

    Deuce winch parts???

    a gear could be made or you could buy a blank gear of the correct dimensions and have the bore machined to fit. there are several gear manufacturers that sell blanks quite reasonably.

    Welding on a 3053A?

    with those motor mounts you do need a trans mount. one near the rear will be enough. do you have pictures of the trans? is the tailshaft removable? if not a clamp on collar could be made so that you can run a common chevy trans mount on it. i have the ability to make something for you for...

    Redstone recovery

    do they have a ramp or a loading dock there that would allow you to load a vehicle or trailer onto a flatbed? trying to plan for a future purchase. have a friend with a flatbed that is down that way a lot. would save me from dragging my equipment trailer down there.
