I've had a picture of your red truck saved on my home computer for a LONG time now. Great build SS!!!

Drop side beds rock! Shrotening one takes some doing though...whew! :mrgreen:

The chunk is 245lbs by itself...then you have the rest of the housing, brakes, axles, etc.

Found a couple of torched off steering knuckles from a 10 ton at Colemans. Made me sad. :cry:

The weight is close...still be under 6,000 with the winch. I believe that's the LU4 winch which is the same winch used on the earlier Power Wagons...so those guys may have parts around if you need them. IF you happen to have a hurt bronze bull gear, Jeff @ Frontline Surplus (if he's still...

Yep, sounds like it. If anyone wants a fun read on the 10 ton tractors, google search Vannetta Bros. Hopefully I spelled that right...anyway the do logging and have used all kinds of equipment and their write up on the tractors is great. High point, low points, parts details, pics, steer...

I've rebuilt upwards of 20 rotary engines in configuration from stock to ceramic apex seals in nitrous fed drag engines. The standard two rotor design for comparison sake would be like a 6 cylinder two stroke engine. Not much for torque because the rotating mass is light in comparison but rpm...

One thing to keep in mind on the 2 stroke Detroits is that the 'supercharger' really was just on there so the engine could run. The blower is part of the scavenging system which makes them two stroke. There is no special hot rodding effect it is just an absolute necessity...like our lungs.

I think a fun build for a deuce would be a 8V53 Detroit tuned up to about 300hp, an M35TOM modified FIVE ton trans (like in the Millennium Deuce) for a nice overdrive and either 14.5R20's or 395 XML's mainly depending on cruise rpm based on OD ratio. And before some says they didn't make an...

Will you guys just read M35 Tom's signature line and see what his truck is actually pulling RPM vs MPH!!! Like pulling teeth sometimes...

Yes.

I like your idea of the Detroit into the 5 ton. I've been sitting on a 475hp Silver 92 (8V92) with a 13 speed RTO 12513 Road Ranger for 2 years now with the hopes of dropping that into an 800 Series truck. If 240hp is liked...this should do very well- ...and sound oh so Detroit cool!

The TTA engines just appear MASSIVE as the giant turbos on each side soak up so much room...it's awesome. I do know they need a real top notch cooling system. Cook'em and kill'em. Sorry I can't be more help...been around them, done some work on them, own a silver 92, but don't have the...

Sure you don't want to see it turn into hand holding all the time or " 'net nannying," but it may take the enforcers to jump on or lock the thread, "Thread Locked, Use SS Search Engine." Or something of the sort. Yes, it shouldn't have to be enforced like that but a lot of people have this BS...

Correction to my previous post taken right from the fine print on GL's site: "At the close of an auction in which Buyer has a winning bid, Buyer agrees to make immediate payment for the total amount of the transaction, including the stated Buyer's Premium, shipping costs and all taxes due if...

Well, whoever it is...isn't just ramping the pricing up for GL since they're the high bidder. GL also puts a 10% or (I think $35) default fee, whichever is greater up on the bidder that does that. If that guy has ten, $8,000 auction defaults, he had $800 x 10 auctions worth of default bucks...

Very cool! Like the www.sovietarmor.com site too!!!

You could prolly use a couple ton chain hoist in a pinch...

August 5-7. One OD and XM-47 shod Unimog in the fun field for sure! ;)

:ditto: :mrgreen:
