i will check into that. it's kind of hard for me to know what's good and bad. i have nothing to compare it to and i have no prior experience with trucks like this. This will be my grocery getter, i figure i can park it right next to a prius. i have no places near where i live i can get her...

iits kind of funny but it just goes to show how awesome this message board is and the folks that use it. maybe i should sneak a pic in the album of my bike, just to mix it up a bit. lol

no idea. i just put up some more pics of the suspension. check them out. the person i bought this from didnt do the lift, neither did the person before him. I have been following this truck for quite sometime. it was love at first sight.

as soon as i can grab the pics i will. the hydro pump is located next to the air pump but below. I'm not a fan of the bobbed ones, it kills me to see when people do that. a lot of work is a understatement. they relocated the rear axle further back, 6" or 8" lift, reached the springs...

I just went thru some pics when i looked at this truck last year. I have a few pics i added to the album showing more on the hydr steering. I will take more over the weekend. http://photobucket.com/TheBeast_72_M35A2

ahhh... thats funny

Thanks.... I fell in love with the 53''s . i see people do the 47''s and they just look to thin. the 53''s got the width to back them up. someone did a lot of work to this beast

thanks for the tip... Gimpyrob, i'm afraid to push the button. (what does DSPO stand for) thats a new one to me

btw... do you know what the button to the left of the throttle lever is? is this for the pto or is this for the airhorn?

it's snowing right now so i wont get to it today but i will. i may just video a walk around focusing on the PS setup for you and send you the link. i have some pics also from it from when the previous seller had it. i'll check those and add any to the album so check back.

cool.... here is a link to the album i am running. not a lot in there yet for pics but a few. what exactly would you want to see? the pistons foe the steering or the pump and stuff? http://photobucket.com/TheBeast_72_M35A2

so before i start the next step changing the fuel filters, are there any good suggestions? should i bother trying to use the petcocks to drain the bowls or am i asking for trouble?

lets try that again...

I got the belt on and i had to loosen the bottom raditor bolts and use the push stick idea. so thank you both. here are some pics. <a href="http://s721.photobucket.com/albums/ww218/Dave_Challant/The%20Beast/?action=view&current=0229121003.jpg" target="_blank"><img...

i will look at it closer today. i think what i saw is the alt and fan both had 2 grooves now with nothing on them right now. the crank only had one groove free. this may have something to do with a hydrolic steering was added at some point and may be using one of the belt groves off the crank...

thanks, they both sound like easy options. i do have one more question about the belts. the fan has a 2 groove pulley. one belt wraps around alt/fan/crank. it looks like the second belt just wraps from the fan/alt. is that correct?

i need some pointers with my first duce. it's the Hercules 465-t i know this sounds ridiculous but is there a trick to help getting the alt/fan belt over the crank pulley? i cant squeeze it between the lower fan cowl and the crank pulley.

so its officially in on my property now (YEAH:grin:). tomorrow off to napa to get the belt and see about the fuel filters (off that list hndrsonj posted for me). the fuel tank stinks like linseed oil or turpentine:sad:, so i plan on draining all that out and somehow try to flush the lines if...

thanks again for the info. i litterly just got of the phone with the hauler and it's 1 hr out. my hands are shaking a bit... i have hunted this white rhino since 2009 and i cant believe i bagged it. :jumpin:

is that list for any motor in-particular? or are they all standardized to be interchangeable?
