Depending on how often you anticipate to use the dump, you could consider hinging the bed and using the crane to lift and dump it. Attach a ring and braces to the front that the crane hooks into. Works fine for the occasional single load that is not crazy heavy and would save weight.
Clearly...
I had an issue with my "Westach" gauge that had similar symptoms and was dead. I sent it in, they sent it back "tested, adjusted". No word about a repair. Worked fine ever since. No repair charge but clearly fixed. Felt a little like Rolls Royce service ("Sir, you must be mistaken. Our vehicles...
Wow, quite the list of to-do items! Having quite some experience working with folding cranes, I would comment that the tandem axle setup adds stability to the rig. It is underslung weight and gives the truck a bigger footprint on the ground.
Hydraulic power packs with a gas or diesel engine are...
The main ground strap is behind the battery box. There is another on the rear left of the multifuel engine block.
Maybe you have more than one issue. The gauges all ground via the four twist lock screws that hold the gauge panel in. Sometimes the rust and dirt interfere. The horn should have...
The safest way is to install an exhaust temperature probe and gauge. Otherwise you have little idea how close to meltdown you are running your engine.
Unloaded on flat ground you might be ok but on long grades high exhaust temps can come up fairly quickly when the fuel is turned up.
If you do...

Almost like something attracted me to it!

I'd think it is brake or clutch pedal return spring:

I think the e-brake spring is shorter.
No, not welded on. You can grab the flat sides with a wrench and gently (or not so gently) work it loose and then screw it out.
It is pipe thread on one side and tube on the other. 3/8 if I am not mistaken (but no guarantees!).
It is unlikely - but possible - that you can match something up at...
A freshly filled radiator/coolant system will bubble and burp air but will eventually settle down. In the process, it may also "blow off" some excess coolant. There is no coolant expansion tank. My Deuce wants its coolant level to sit just below the bend in the filler neck. When fill it over...

I have heard of mud boggers "welding the sprag" but at least in this post here, welding is strongly discouraged: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/sprag-substitutes.1093/
The reason is that the sprag clutch is an overrun clutch, and the function depends on different rotation speed between...
