Alot of people don't like to do this but if you cut about 50' or so off the drum it's alot easier to deal with. You can carry some extra lengths of cable if you need to go over what you have on the drum. With a full spool on the drum you don't have much room for error if it starts piling up on...

A good trucker with the right equipment can load it no problem. They will usually cost more than your "run of the mill" trucking company though. Make sure the truck has a winch on the trailer. I've seen GL loading trucks before and they are awfully rough. I once come-a-longed a truck onto a...

If you're real lucky you can get promoted to possum connoisseur. To date, there's only one member that's made it that far. :razz:

I wouldn't use a roll pin. while they are hollow, they are made out of some very hard metal (have you ever tried to drill one out?). Accourding to gringeltaube, a brass bolt is the closest to strength of a USGI pin. This thread-...

:ditto: I have to agree with Jake. While I don't live under a HOA (and won't), I've heard too many storries of how HOA treat MVs.

You can pay taxes on it but if you get checked you're still going to get fined if it's red. You may could carry your tax receipts into court and get it thrown out but you'd have to prove the receipts were for that batch of fuel (what's to keep somebody from getting a tax receipt for 50 gal of...

As DH said, get your frame number. Then post the VIN in Carnac's thread and he will tell you the year. That's alot easier than swapping the frame. :wink:

Yea, I know you can but I'm not real big on advocating tax evasion in a public forum. :wink:

:ditto: It all depends what color it is. If it's red you better leave it alone for on-road use.

I'd like to figure out how this was done. There is no vacuume to power a hydrovac on a deuce.

Yes, they are forged. I know a guy that had a military contract to forge some of them. He showed me the contract one time. You wouldn't believe the specs that go into something this simple. It was about 20 pages of just specs. People will tell you that you shouldn't weld forged steel. Mainly...

I'm a New Star dealer. Everything I've seen online and in their catalog, they don't offer the silicone boots with zipper. Atleast they don't list them as being zippered boots.

I don't know about the Canadian deuces but the A3 uses a different radiator I think.

Thanks for all the responses. The winch has got new seals in it all the way around but I've heard of several resealed winches that would still leak the gear oil out. That's why I'm going with the corn head grease. I've put in 3 tubes so far ( 1 3/4 in the worm side and 1 1/4 in the shifter...

I got my winch installed last week but haven't got the drive on yet. I was looking and taking measurements and I'm not sure the M35A2 radiator will allow for a direct mount hyd motor. If you can the motor will have to be less than 4" in dia. How much less I don't know. At 4" dia you'll have...

I rebuilt my winch and to make sure I don't develop any leaks, I was going to use the John Deere corn head grease. To the people that use this stuff, how much do you put in? Do you just fill it up to the same level as in the LO or do you add more. I'm thinking you need to have more for the...

I've got a New Star catalog and I don't see them listed. I'm not so sure they have silicone boots with zipper. I can give them a call and find out for sure.

Just look at it this way, whichever one you use you'll have a spare for parts. :wink:

Wow, that looks like a great deal for that truck :shock:. You want your money back? Shoot, I'll even give you a few hundered profit ;-). Where is Rogersville? I'm thinking east TN.

Most of the parts on a A3 are the same as a A2 and can be found anywhere. There are a few A3 specific parts though. Those are the hard to find parts. You can find them at the major dealers but they ask a premium for them. Most engine parts can be found at any CAT dealer but they can be pricey...
