Deuce Tranny Rebuild

[dozer1]

Man that does look like a great little device. Makes the job much easier and above all safer.

Looks like it was made just for that purpose. Very nice!

I believe it was. The legs are adjustable, they extend out further if needed. Capacity is 1000 lbs. Wish it was mine.

I yanked the tranny out of my A2C yesterday. Here are a couple of photos of one of the nicest pieces of equipment I've ever seen (not the truck). This little mini vertical winch made the job real easy, even for one Guy. Dropped it down and sat the tranny on a dolly and wheeled it out from under the truck.

Bought mine NOS, thanks to the help of 1958M274 and IronHorsetheGeneral.

Works extremely well, although it isn't quite perfect. I understand Recovry4x4's preference for an engine hoist now that I have some experience but I still like it and it will work for transfer cases too.

If you are thinking of rebuilding it, look at Saturn Surplus's web site. They seem to have most of what you are going to need cheaper than most other places.

If you want to drive your deuce soon, I'd say put a take-out in it. Then rebuild your original tranny at your leasure.

a 2000 lb trans jack from HF is only $200 and a good investment if you have a bunch of friends who may need to 'rent' it. $195 for the brng/seal kit is full retail, you can do a lot better.

Man that hoist is a great tool. We used to open the windshield and back glass and set a tanker bar on the bottom of the frames and use a hoist that we could lower the trans to the ground. But that was 25 years ago. I guess you make do with what you have.

Can't understand how an engine hoist would work any better, but then I might not have the removal experience you and 4X4 have. All in all, it's a very well designed piece of "save your butt" equipment.

UPDATE: Club Member Randy and I stabbed the replacement tranny in last weekend, and I finished the rest up through the week. Took the A2C to the St. Patty's Day Parade in Denver and back home yesterday, no problems! Sure is nice to have a running MV again. Thanks to Randy for crawling around on that cold @$$ concrete in my shop, and to Gamagoat1 for lending me his Hoist Unit.

Nice to hear your back on the road.

Wish I had a cold @$$ concrete floor in a shop to crawl around on
