Vintage Iron- Here's my take on this; you bumped up a 3 year old thread to slam another vendor who simply listed his phone number?! That's kind of a sh!tty cheap shot, don't you think? If you didn't have anything to say three years ago, bringing it up now makes you look bad, not him.

HA! I was just told by my local insurance company/home town broker, that progressive has NEVER covered a military truck. Stupidheads...

I took the 931A2 out last night for 15 minute spin around the valley. Man, that's a nice driving truck. Brakes, yep...little touchy when you're just creeping along but they feel really good when you're up to speed. Nice firm pedal and really good 'whoa' in them things! :mrgreen:

I sent an email with basically an order upwards of about $200, it took them nearly two weeks to call me, I was at work and couldn't grab it, called back and haven't been called again. I may just rattle can the ole Bruiser for now...

If you can fit a 44" Swamper, you can fit the 14.5's.

The Krylon Olive drab or the camo series is okay...but sun and weather will evantually fade them bright.

I've fixed several of these without taking them apart that had frozen handles. If you DO have the TIME to take it apart, do so. On the clutch handle side at the bottom of the winch are two large plugs that can be removed. The sliding clutch dog has siezed by rust to the shaft so it won't...

Nice find!!!!!! Let me know if you keep the stock axles or if you need axle parts. I still have a few M715 items around and work in YORK.

I'm curious about this too. The double articulating off road wheel on the M931A2 is really tall. I'm going to swap it out and hoping a standard commercial wheel will fit under a bed. :mrgreen:

John S-B is dead on. I use that practice when pulling logs up steep banks. I'll position the truck with a large tree maybe 20' in front of it and hook my snatch block on that tree and make sure the truck is lined up straight. The cable will spool back and fourth nicely from that distance and...

My A3 wheels, to clarify, have no sealant on them, they are machined well. The other wheel I had been fighting with and sealant and SLIME were the only that worked since they were pretty ugly in their machine quality, thanks to USA6x6 and super crappy machine work. Couldn't be more happy that...

There's no way you should be losing air in the A3 wheel is every thing is clean. I would first check your new stem to be sure the size of the stem was the correct size for the wheel. Standard over the road (OTR) rig stuff is too small at the stem hole for the A3's and you may have to switch...

Do yourself a favor and cut 75' of cable off of the (guessing) full factory spool of cable you currently have. That allows you a little more room of side pulling and stacking of the cable before you get into danger with the cable stacking up and binding causing the shear pin to let go or pop...

Door hinges work great! I used one for the winch lever on my M715 then one for the front axle engage on the manual shift t-case REB kit on my crane truck.

The heat from the weld helps GREATLY with that! Nice move!

This will piss off the purists... If I had that truck I would pull the V300 and giant trans/transfer case and dump the 425hp Silver 92 Detroit and 13speed Road Ranger I have and add a T136 5 ton Rockwell transfer case in it. Get rid of 80% of the most problematic parts and still have a super...

I have a curved 10' plow from a medium duty Chevy truck with mounts and elec/hyd controller that should work if anyone is interested shoot me a PM. I would not put it on a winch truck.

You're brush guard is still a mirror and windshield breaker. You need a down tube from front of cab top to back of horizontal fender tube then another going forward. Then one inbetween them to keep limbs from being pushed then snapping back into the windshield. I have to find a pic of one of...

I'm sorry I'm not able to answer for IL, but I'll throw in what I know about PA. YES you could. If you are going to make money with it in state or out of state you could have interstate and intrastate commerce which have a 10,001lb and 17,001lb GVWR lower limits, plus PA has had something...
