    Gear Options????

    Yes, there's not 10lbs difference between the 3053A and the NV4500. They look physically larger but the NV has it's ribbing on the outside and looks more narrow because of that. You'll find the 3053's at ANY surplus that has deuce trucks. Make sure you get the 3053 not 3052 as the latter...

    M-725 common engine swap advice

    Anything will fit just take time to decide on transmission as that will dictate your highway rpm's more than anything else.

    What tires are these??

    People... you don't want these tires. You end up with a LARGER slick center area not more traction. It'll look cool for about 13 minutes then you'll drive it in rain or snow and coolness will fade at an exponential rate. Single the truck with a Michelin or Goodyear with a flat tread not a...

    Haflinger with Anti-Tank Bantam Missiles

    Would LOVE to have a little mini-mog like that like the one posted in the classifieds!!! If I were in the market for one of the Kubota side by side utility machines I would seriously consider a Haflinger!

    Value?

    My 77 406 was originally in the German Army and has German on the guages and door stickers. 406 will have the VIN on the frame under the cab behind the front bumper...ish. :) You look and you'll see it. The 406's and 416's (short and long wheelbase) are diesels.

    No idle, but runs at 1400+??

    I got a '69 Corvette that way one time. Started running rough for the guy backfiring out of the carb, he had a guy look at it and told him the timing was 180* out and changed it. Ran...no power...guy disappeared. A couple years later, another guy looks at it and told him the timing was...

    Gear Options????

    M35Tom also has a taller overdrive kit for the 3053 Spicer's. I put one behind a 427 tall deck Big Block Chevy in an M715 and ran it for years that way. It's a good trans for a lower buck swap but you will have to get creative for the rear transmission mount as stock they were suspended...

    CUCV Winch?

    Holy crap joeypushjr... total thread hi-jack but you didn't try to put the engine back in with the converter on the flywheel like in your avatar right? That would take all the patience in the world.

    Deuce rear axle brake lockup..... Help please!!!

    Sooooo...how cold is it outside Tulsa this time of year? You mentioned water in your air tank which can translate into water into your brake system. If you happen to have a small area of water droplets that have gathered into one in your brake system and frozen into a blockage, you could be...

    M35A3 lockout hubs

    YES, people have used the Ouverson's with no problems. They're a great hub. He will even sell them as one hub, and one double spline axle for a forward rear tandem application. Good guy that Randy O- ...and great products.

    Electric winch

    I like the mechanical nature of the PTO driven winches as long as you have engine power...you'll come out or break something. I don't build in 'fuses' and don't like shear pins. I'm getting out, it's coming out, or I get a lesson in what not to do. Not wanting the lesson makes you think out...

    Lockout hubs

    You would pretty much want to run both lock outs on the front if you slap a locker in it. Even though a Detroit will 100% open when driven by the axle as opposed to locking when being driven by the driveshaft. It's still a little added wear...

    Lockout hubs

    Look at more civvy 3/4 and one tons. I remember vividly about 10 years back being in a Dodge garage and they had a new 1 ton up on the lift. I was looking at the underpinnings and looked at the axle ratios. 4.10 and 4.11. I asked the guy that ran the shop and he never ever saw that before...
