Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
The guy we got it from said it's actually a NOS winch, not a take out. It definitely looks like it, no cable wear on it anywhere. I need to look up the synthetic cable he gave us and see what its rated at, but it looks to be new.Nice bobber! I'm jealous of your winch.
I have no idea... I'll search and see if I can find anything.Doesn't Adam (Ferroequinologist) have one for sale on craigslist?
I'd have to agreeWOW. You stumbled upon a gold mine!!!! Congratulations!
I know! I thought the same thing once we got them hooked up.Holy cow that 5 ton makes the bobbed deuce look like a toy. Everything looks very nice though. What are your plans on the bobbed deuce, play toy, project, or flip. It looks like your about to open a MV business.
The engine that's in the truck had the crankshaft break on it. It has a hole in the passenger side of the block and the drivers side also has a hole in it when the bearing cap end of the rod sticking out of the side of it. The other engine I'm not sure, but I do know it has a hole in the block as well, could be a busted crank or it threw a rod. To be honest in the case of the engines I have, it could have been abuse from over revving or excessive lugging.With the other thread going on about rod bolts and the weak spots in these engines. Could you take a look at your two subjects and see what destroyed them or caused them to fail. I'm interested to see if they have similar damage and signs of failure.
