You can make a runway for the hoist with heavy plywood to give you enough room to back it out and lower to the ground. Then use the tractor bucket to move it around. We have pulled engines out of farm trucks and equipment with the front bucket but it works best with two people. The tractor...

Thanks for the replys I'll check it out.

Robert That will fit my 813 cargo won't it?

I've got a story about GSA and picking up my 5 ton cargo last year. As we were installing batterys abd employ came out to watch and visit. He told us the truck would not start as several people had tried and failed. We had it running in five minutes and needed to air up the tires. He showed us...

Everythings right in the world!!!!!

Yes, and now I will owe you money when you get here!!!!

Don't drive the truck very much. And both tanks were full when I picked it up.

I bought my 813 from GSA about a year ago. I paid 4100.00 for it and I think got a good deal. When we picked it up the employees there said it would not start as several people had been looking and they failed to crank it. It took five minutes to diaognos and five seconds to fix. The emergince...

I have a 5 ton wrecker and just posted a question a few days ago about a switch on the dash. The front axle does not ingage but I discovered a toggle switch behind the steering wheel that says power divider-ingauged or disingauged. I have not checked it out yet to see if it ingauges the front...

Thanks for the replys guys. I think i will probably loosen it up a bit as it was very tight going on. The place I bought the shaft warned me not to use grade 5 bolts as shearpins as they had rebuild many winchs for the government because of soldiers using them.

The front axle on my M51A1 wrecker does not ingage. I assumed the sprags were worn out. Today I noticed a toggle switch behind the steering wheel that says power divider ingaged or disingaged. Some civilian trucks have a power divider to disingage the rear axle for highway travel. My other two...

The driveshaft I installed was brand new. The winch shaft was the one messed up. I assume it is from shearing pins and allowing the shaft to spin. The shear pin I used is the correct aluminum one. My concern is I had to drive the shaft on with a hammer to line up the holes and it was real tight...

When I got my cargo truck the driveshaft for the winch was missing. When I tryed to install the new one it would not go on because the winch shaft had been roughed up quite a bit. I filed it enough to be able to drive the shaft on. After some earlier posts I am concerned it may be to tight and...

A story to illustrate your point. There was no winch involved but the point is the same. Several years ago we had a fertilizer spreader bogged down with five tons of lime on it. I used a large cable I was sure we could not break and hooked it high on my large tractor to exert downward pressure...

I am a farmer in Georgia and farmers are exempt from CDL's when hauling their own stuff and not for hire and then within 150 miles from home. But South Carolina which is 50 miles from here does not allow that in their state so i am taking a risk if I drive there. Something most folks don't know...

I think you will find the Government kept their trucks up very well. They never knew when they would have to go off to war. I just greased my 5-ton dump today for the first time and every fitting took grease and pushed out grease a different color from mine so I know it was well lubed. The fuel...

I bought my 813 cargo from GSA. I paid 4100 dollars for it. No 10%, no sales tax and no EUC. The truck was a cream puff. It has a front winch, hard top, brand new block and tow chain in the tool box and the fuel tank was full. Most of the tires were new and the others were not hurt. One tail...

If you can't use the winch on the Duece I have a five ton wrecker that needs one if the price is right.

Robert If you get the lot I will Take one for my wrecker.
