just o another note before putting it back together. That head may be warped? Have it checked and shaved if needed. Also check the block deck? This could be a reason for loose bolts and or the head gasket blowing,if so you will just have it do the same thing again.. Bummer this happened..
Sas.. That picture is awsome!! Just to cool.. So you of all people can appreciate the sound of a flathead..
Maddawg: Sounds like a fun place for a recovery operation! Maybey we can find some old Dodges or any OD iron frozen in the ice.. like they did with those P-38's that were under about 100'...
RE: Oh yes
Did a little research.. They made 7- XM152's with winches.. 52- M43's with winches up to 1955
There was a total of 1038-M152CDN trucks made up to 1955 and 409-M43CDN trucks made and 672 of all models of these vehicles had winches.. Does not say which ones? but for a total of 4524...
Oh yes
They made winch versions of every truck.. I have the numbers of each out in the shop including the Canadian truck..
I would say yes on the 4:89's and the 251.. It is a much better engine and can take more R's. Its diffucult to go back to a 230 for a short time but I dont have a choice...
RE: What
Not a bad idea.. Bio Maple fuel??? CCattlet what do you think? (inside joke)...
eh..hoze... da dats ok eh...
Small hijack coming up..Sorry Sasquatch.. I am looking for a Cdn PTO , trans, and or rebuild kit for either. If anyone has one they would like to part with.. I so badly want to...
RE: What
You nailed most of the differences that I know of.. I have been told that the input shaft on the ACME trans. is bigger? So this would mean different clutch,throw out bearing I think.. I will know more when I swap out a bad 251 for a temp 230 heart here real soon and post what I find...
he sold the storage door to someone already.. He also started cutting up the back!! Did not get to the front yet.. You could probably get whats left for cheep.. good dash and stuff. Dont know for sure.. I can put you two together and let you work it out.. He is on the site... Has a funky name...
Looks good. I was just over at a guys house that has a very nice M725 front with no rust and straight. He could cut the floor out and probaly get it to you. Let me know if you want it he is going to scrap the body.
Well if thats the case than lets ad a environmentalist to the front grill. Screw em!! Without them on the road they could not complain about anything..
I love the shirt! Good job guys.. Rubber ducky out..
Ouch!!! Bing! Bang! Boom! Caploooie! What did he do? Thats the one you sold him isnt it? Looks familiar.. That really sucks , but I am glad he walked away from it. That could have been a pine box day. Did he have his seat belt on?
Pinz6x6... Thank you very much. That is just the type of report...
I'll take one also.. Exact repro..
"Michigan tree puncher??"
Every nice tree makes a even better stump! I have spoken!
Cut it up, stack it, rub it down oh noooo! The girl is going to do me... Quote of the day..
Thats a nice one! Glad you picked up some older iron for your collection. Cant wait to see it at some shows..
Do you have it down to the frame yet? Nice,nice,nice..
RE: Re: RE: Poll On Reporduction Winch Plates...
Well... I was just pointing out parts that seem to be very hard to find. Piles of winches all over but no way to put them on.. Well maybe for a future off shoot of your now running fab business.
Ferroequinologist: If you have the knowhow this...
RE: Re: RE: Poll On Reporduction Winch Plates...
Now if you want to bank on some repro goods. How about winch extentions and side mounting brackets for the deuce and 5 ton.
I would buy 2 sets of each. Come on Mike you can do it!!!
