I was asking a guy how much they loaded on the trucks. He said they didn't payattention to weight they just loaded them till they couldn't get anymore on.

I think more smaller blocks(hopefully cheaper) would work out good. The only downfall would be that it would shorten your cable. On the other hand it would use extra cable so you can get down to the first wrap and have full pulling power. All you would need is some exstension cables or straps

the winch ratings change with the number of wraps on the drum. the load on the cable is the same, but the capabilitys of the winch change with the number of wraps on the drum.

I don't think it worked

I like the rating on the warn block, but I wonder if the rating on the 5ton one that mangus and cranetruck showed us is really 5ton. Does anyone think that the deuce winch is really a 10k winch? I think it is closer to 20k.

the math is still right no matter what the load is. all the lines add up to 10 k and all the anchor points(including the winch) on each side add up to 10 k.

Mangus is on the ball!! :grd:

are you talking about the winch drum? the cable and the winch only get half or whatever the winch pull is. On a 10k winch each cable leg(one going too the block and one coming from the block) get 10k. When you hook the cable coming back from the block to your truck or another anchor point that...

its a M543A2 XXXL. I was using the loader to lift the front end for some work underneath!!

maybe they had just left the truck wash??

I think that is why the driver is grinning so much.

:)

I took it off cause it was missing a mounting plate on the side. I got one made last week. I don't know if it is gonna work or not. I'm gonna put it back in and try it. I wish I had a spare just in case.

I also had a Photo Op I was putting a new roof and windshield on the wrecker.

more cool pics by cranetruck

I think that is a great price too. Only 5 ton though????

my wife wants one of those, but I think she is gonna go with the willys jeep.

I just got all my stuff that I ordered from John. Everything was the way he said on the phone and I thought the prices he quoted were fair. I didn't even try to bargain. I'm very happy and have him digging up some more stuff for me.

the M543A2 is not a deuce.

the whole think is almost painted now.
