I have a buddy who drives I-80 over Donner summit quite often He literally brings back dozens of chains, half of which are big truck chains, that fall off and stay on the side of the road. a lot in really good shape, probably just not secured correctly...... He says they're all over, but, look...

I'll have to look, while, digging out of the snow..... It seems I have a bunch of arctic kit stuff, like, grill and hood blankets, etc...... Henry

do people really run them that tight, for, that long? Overheating the exhaust does damage with time, I know. Just speaking for myself, I don't run my engine on a hard pull, full throttle, for any length of time. If it's a long hill, you just gear down, lighten up on the fuel, and, enjoy the...

I don't quite understand the necessity of the pre-turbo install. I know the temps are higher there, maybe somewhat more accurate in relation to the exhaust valves, etc. But, as long as you knew max temp for the location, why would it matter? IE: If 1200 deg F is max, pre-turbo, and, that...

some pics of rear mounted pto/hyd pump maybe these will help.

RE: Re: RE: m35 with rear winch ever been done ? when I put my crane on a deuce, I mounted a hydraulic pump to the cross member just behind the transfer case, and using a rear facing pto, drive it. I still have the forward pto for a winch, or, whatever. there is also a rear facing splined shaft...

aren't the bows that go front to rear missing in gringeltaube's picture? Mine has several metal rods between the rear bow and windshield. Henry

I wasn't really referring to charging, more, I was referring to "boosting" or "jumping" the vehicle to start. I'd think you'd want the amperage up a ways to do that? Just clarifying/wondering Henry

has anyone ever tried jumping with a portable arc welder? Mine is 24V D.C. I know it'll put out a bunch of amps........... I wonder if it'd work direct? Henry

snow can be so subjective.......... Here in northern CA, we get "Sierra Cement"......very "thick", crusty, heavy. It can be hard to get your tires to "dig down" to dirt. You need weight, and maybe chains. When you spin at all, it turns to ice pack...... And, If you're runing over pavement, it...

Looks good, welcome............. Lots of smart folks here, And, some funny...........or at least thinking so........ hahahahaa Henry

Hi William, I was out of town a few days, sorry for the delayed response. I'd say little chance of driving it there....... A new carb would be totally necessary, and, since I "dented" the roof and broke both windshields........ And, commercial cops don't have much of a sense of humor regarding...

I might differ, although I'm admittedly not so smart, that gas welding isn't welding. I know I've made the puddle of molten metal, and, added more, to joing plates...... One think I'm working on, with some measured sucess, is, "forge welding". Now, that's an art.....and, the strongest, if done...

Hi all, I have an extra compressor that will run a fair sized sandblaster. 10 h.p. 3 ph, about 75 cfm @ 100 lbs. 500.00 bucks.

yeah, I could call a wrecking yard, and, will if no one wants it. I just like sharing with folks I like, or, might like, before the G.P. Good thought, though. Henry

ouch.......... I'd gladly share if you want to stop on in........ dc3coyote: Pics? I do have some posted of the crane on the photo section here......."Henry's crane project", and, I think a couple of other folders of mine have some pics of it in use........ I sure hate to have to pay someone...

sorry, I forgot to post that it's in northern CA, and, someone needs to take the whole thing..........

Hi Guys, I have the rest of the truck I took my crane for the deuce conversion off of. It runs, bad carb, two speed rear, air brakes decent tires, very dented cab, cab-over, 5 speed, tires ok, lots of good stuff. If anyone can use it for parts, come on over. It will drive, but, not legally.......

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Shear Pins do Work! or, can someone tell me the alloy so I can buy stock and make my own? THanks again, Henry

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Shear Pins do Work! My deuce has a shear pin size that seem different. It's 5/16. does anyone else have that size? I ordered shear pins, once, but, they were far to large. THey were correct for someones deuce, just not mine..... Does anyone have this size? Thanks, HEnry
