Thanks for the nice comments ! The tructor is a very cool ride indeed :-D

A couple of pics

Well I took the tructor out to another mudfest. Had a great time and ended pulling one of the monster trucks out of one of the bogs. He had a very strong tow strap so I decided to give him a good pull :-D I took the tension off the strap and nailed the throttle. It was hillarious, the truck...

If you look at the very first picture you can see a brown line running down the last 1/3 of the bed. That is where I took the 3 feet out. I used a deuce bed.

The rear suspension is the same on the tractors and the cargos. The difference is the wheel base is about a foot shorter on the tractors and the frame is cut closer to the rear spring mounts.

Look in the classified section and make a post in the wanted section. I'm sure someone near you has one sitting around.

Thanks for the nice comments. With 4 MV's to take care of my wife has been very patient. So when I mentioned another project she said ok so what ya going to sell ? I'm thinking about another WW2 vehicle. I'm just about done with my 1943 WC52 and need something to keep my "attention." :-D...

Not going to do a dump bed on the truck. Its been over a year with all the mods and the truck has performed wonderfully. I took it to our local mudfest and I used the truck non-stop pulling out mud trucks and everything else. I might add a transmission cooler, I did give the truck a tough...

I just simply took out a 3 foot length of bed so the new dimension is 9x7 instead of 12x7. I used a drop side deuce bed.

Not having a lot of luck finding a local pintle assembly. Does anyone know if you have to disassemble the trailer connector to get the pintle off or does the front face plate come off allowing you to pull the cable out the back intact ?

That's kinda what I'm thinking. I would use a 3/4 steel drop plate that would be welded to the pintle assembley. It would be an inch wide on both side of the pintle and drop down below the pintle about 15 inches then cut a 2.5 inch square out and insert the hitch. Then make to more plates with...

Well I'm thinking about a standard trailer hitch install so I can pull about anything behind the truck. Since its a tractor normal solutions won't work. I've seen a couple of ideas that put huge plates on the back of the frame or alter the trailer itself. I'm looking for something that will look...

Yes

I fly for a living. Sometimes I get blocks of time off that allow me to get some work done.

Here's a picture of my 24-12volt converter and outlet.

Here's a picture of the new type of steering wheel. They are very nice.

Don't know if there is a rub issue. Most do the upgrade because its inexpensive, looks good and gives you about 4mph more for a little better cruise speed.

Ebay, and yes its smaller diameter also.

Mine is a 71 American General. The power loss is a little not too bad. Road speed went from around 47 to 57 mph so its good going down the highways here in the US and not cause traffic issues. The bigger tires and wheels didn't make the steering that much more difficult. You just need to be...
