    M925a2 towing capacity

    I am trying to find a new truck, I am looking at m925's. I recently found one close, looks good in pictures. Low milage and recent rebuild interest me, the only problem- question that arose is the actual towing capacity on the road. The seller told me he tows his 20,000lb machine with it. No...

    Bad deuce light switch?

    I agree with that, but the possibility of a fire is much worse than a 50-100 dollar switch.

    Bad deuce light switch?

    I am hoping to get some help. Last night while driving my deuce I lost all lights but my front left parking light. I have the newer style switch with push buttons. I tried to turn back on, but the lights go right back out and the switch shuts down. I tried all settings but nothing will come back...

    Generator Questions From GL

    After spending the second week this year without power I have reached a point where I am ready to buy a good, dependable generator. I have been looking at goverment liquidation and seem to be interested in a MEP-002a, or possibly a 3a. The only issue I have buying from them is they do not...

    Broken Winch On My Deuce?

    It seems that I have located the problem. When going out to the truck with a fresh mind and some new ideas, I tried installing a new shear pin. I did notice some play in the holes where the pin goes. I installed a new pin and hooked the truck up to a tree with a snatch block going back to the...

    Broken Winch On My Deuce?

    I am pretty sure the cable is not bound because i am able to disengage the winch and pull cable out by hand. I can also reverse the winch and send out cable as well as tighten up on the cable, but as soon as there is any stress the pin breaks. The pins appear to be aluminum. I bought 5 from C...

    Broken Winch On My Deuce?

    Ok I understand this point and am paying for it now. These pointers are not going to help me in my current situation. I have learned from this experience, and do not plan on doing this again. With that being said are there any pointers that can get me back up and running again?

    Broken Winch On My Deuce?

    Broken Winch On My Deuce?

    I am here for some helpful hints. Recently I moved my deuce up into the back of my property. I needed to winch the truck part way because it was a icy hill. Everything went fine, but once up I needed to wind the cable back on the spool. As bad as it is to do I only had myself so left the winch...
