RE: Re: RE: M819 to remove the boom , pull the two pins (pivoit and boom hoist ) undo the hoist and extend cyl. hyd. lines, and the work light wire, it would be easer to remove and reinstall the three section boom as a unit then just the two outer sections (this could be a real hassel)

RE: Re: RE: M1009 Differential about the only time 3.08s or 3.42s are realy usefull for straight road driving, no off road, as mike said with big tires a 3.08 would really work a auto trans and engine, wilh big tires i would not go below 3.73 if any off roading is going to happen, still will...

we ALL are human and do STUPID things time to time, there is not ONE person here that hasnt, so you belong here just as much as the rest of us

enything less then 3.42s will put a serious strain on trans and motor

steve, im not a early deuce person but your post was a great post on this subject, thanks

clint, id take a heavy auto over a standard any day, less wheel spin, infinitive touque multiplaction, with conveter lockup and manual shift, you have a almost unstopable trans., this is why ALL the heavy equipment makers use autos, a lot of over the road trucks use autos now, most drivers love them

go to the cat dealer, thay use that typy of sealing ring

my muffler died at the same place, when i get to it, im just going to stright pipe it and put a flapper on the stack

i would guess a 5t xcase weights about 1000#, i plan to ues a pipe through the back window and the front like i did for the trans, if that does not work then on to plan b, c, d, ect

both of mine that i took off i had to fight, the shoes were backed off, you could move the drum and axle a bit, it was just rust between the drum and the hub

if i can get it down without killing myself, ill get out from under some way, trans was a peice of cake, i think getting it down will be the BIG hassle

ft, you saying one project turns into many, sounds like my projects

i plan to pull the floor panel and one way or another, lower it down with come-a-longs, use small snatch blocks to change cable direction if need be, make a lift fixture to bolt to where the xcase splits

RE: Re: RE: M819 i dont know if the swap would be a bolt up or not, though i dont see why not, at least you could still use the 26",3 part boom, that should be a bolt up deal, im still looking for a t case, at least the price of one, money is tight here at the moment
