    Parade winners?

    They are non directional but, in theory...or like a cleated tractor tire, they'll clean better set up like the rear outter shown above...or the driver's side front from the first pics with the trailer. Regardless...you still got a crap load more traction than I do with the POS NDT's.

    Parade winners?

    Brad9000, tire question- They're different directions and I was just wondering if there was a reason for that? -NICE .50 mount!!!

    Anyone curious about the M35A3?

    Does he mean the wheel or the wheel/tire combo? I believe that's a 325 Michelin...ought to be around 200#'s. Those wheels are pretty awesome!

    starting advice

    Again, forgive me for being arguementative...but that is incorrect. I have infront of me the LDS-465-1 Engine Lubrication System Diagram and it shows, with little arrows, the path of the oil. From pump up through block, around a single cam bearing, then heads out of block to filters, THEN back...

    starting advice

    No to be disagreeable...but does it really feed the engine ahead of the filters? REALLY? Whoever designed that should be shot. I like how you can tell when the oil pressure comes up and the engine clatter softens.

    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    I don't even think I measured. I bought the engine on ebay and it was going in. :) I've got my alternator mounted to the stock compressor base. Relocated mine and was able to reuse stock air lines. 1160 got set in that truck once. I took a couple days to get adapter finished and T/O...

    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    Trango- That sucker rocks!!! Does that compressor clear the hood? It's neat to see the two applications of non turbo back against firewall, and turbo away from firewall...and you're front sump ahead of Rockwell. Jed, that might even get to you soon- :)

    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    Jed, engine is all stock. Starter is fading- use your old one. Take Chevy chrome breather out of turbo intake. :) JohnnyReb, CAT engine was roughly 200Lbs more than multifuel. That and the big winch have my springs completely flat. Were there arched before??

    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    It's a one wire 24V alternator I picked up after taking the stock unit to a shop to find out why it wasn't charging. It was toast so I bit the bullet and picked up this baby. Not cheap...like near $200, but you can forget about them. I did originally have it mounted on the multifuel with a...

    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    HA- Dunno temps yet. Guage flutters. Going to put a mechanical oil and temp gauge in and be done with senders. Yeah, that trailer pulls great behind my M715. Just flipped receiver over so it steps down and it rides level with 38" XL's on the truck. OR flipped up fits fine with spring over...

    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    Eh...while I'm at it here's two of the front winch drive. PTO-Spicer Yoke-M715 front drive shaft- 1-1/2" solid shaft w/keys- other yokes w/one large yoke collar welded to smaller yoke. Kinda a bit...but works great. Originally that exhaust when straight down. I had to do a little bit of...

    CAT 1160 V8 pics

    Requested to post up some pics of the 1160 V8 CAT I swapped into my deuce truck. The 1160 is the engine that the 3208's were based on, same block, same heads, different front timing housing and injector pumps. My 1160 is a 225hp naturally aspirated (N/A) engine. The upper water line has...

    Air shift or REB kit

    That is a VERY INCORRECT statement- BOTH REB KIT's are available from Memphis Equipment. REO Sprag eliminator kit - $483 GMC auto tranny kit - $4.. somthing I called them 12/16/05-

    Air shift or REB kit

    Memphis offers/offered two REB kits. One was for the auto tranny in the GMC deuces and the other is for our T-cases. There was no confusion on that right? I've had my share of confusion with them-

    A little fun today

    x2. Non Directionals in snow is SOOOOOO frustrating. Took me three tries to get up a farm road on the powerlines last week so I could get to where I was pulling logs out. 1st try: Low Range, 2nd gear- 2nd try: Low range, 3rd gear-...a little further 3rd try: Low range, 4th gear put CAT to...

    Wheel Adapter? *hope this hasn't been recent..."

    It could not hurt. Have the bore of that thru-hole match the bore in the hubs. Still contersink the back and sock that mother up REAL tight. One of my old customers was a very large steel supplier. They stock, or can get, steel tube that would be within about 1/2" of both inner and outter...
