That's "the phrase that pays!" I did not know the term for what I was seeking, thanks! However the kits available on the first page of results found in my search are out of my price range. Most likely I'll piece something together to keep it more affordable. WM I had the same thought for...

Guys, I'm looking for some ideas about how to fit hydraulics to the deuce for a variety of purposes: knuckleboom, dump bed, rear winch, log splitter, chain saws, you name it. I have a hard top deuce with front mounted PTO winch. I recently purchased a transfer case PTO for operating a pump...

I'm too far away from my deuce, located on my cousin's farm NW of you in Cochecton 12726 to help you. Otherwise I would! Suggestion: Visit your local tractor repair shops. Many of them have lowboy trailers for moving equipment and they might be willing to assist you with your move. Rick

Hey there Hughdini, welcome to this madness from the sub-southern section. Rick

If that was the last pinion shaft on the planet, the decision to use it would be easier. But a call to George at White Owl will get you a new one in a few days. That thing must of had some water in it awhile, eh? Rick

I understand your question, but am curious to know why you want to know. Most repairs cover a specific area that have a variety of fasteners of a specific number. If you need to replace them, then you identify the size and quantity. But to amass a catalog of all the specific bolts on a...

Attaway, DEVILDOC, the things you can accessorize with include a gaggle of trailers, Spare part trucks, more vehicles that are larger and smaller than the deuce, and of course, more deuces. You are one sick individual!!! Welcome aboard! Rick

I don't think the problem would be the proportioning valve because it would affect both brakes. Some possible causes I can think of off the top of my head are: * Brake drums cut to different diameters * Wheel cylinders of different diameters or not moving equally * Shoe set not installed...

I dunno, that damage looks to be from those cover plates getting hooked on something external. I see the outward dimple from the shaft end, but still the lower lip of the plate is pooched out like it got snagged on something. Rick

I don't know who sold you the truck but if they said they are selling you a fully functioning rig, then I'd go with that until you learn otherwise. So, how's the rest of your new rig? Rick

Wow! What a work horse! That thing looks awesome. I have no idea on the weight of the thing or the value of the drive train. How close to scrap value is your offer? Rick

Thanks to all you guys who answer with ideas on how to utilize search routines and post relative threads. The work you demonstrate advise makes this site more valuable and I appreciate you for that. rick

If you are loading rolling stock I think you'd be OK. Skidding........ that might do some damage! Rick

I think this is what Kenny is envisioning. The two issues I see are: The cable length from winch to bed sheave changes as the bed is raised and lowered unless the winch is centered on the bed hinge. That may make loading awkward, maybe not. AFAIK the rear of the bed does not get to ground...

Hi Dean, I'm far from an expert but from the looks in the images, the body metal looks excellent. I'd say if after you did a careful inventory of the loose parts and found everything to be there, then the price is very good. I prefer to take projects that do not require body metal work, and...

Thanks for posting these images! I believe photo #7 is suitable for framing! Rick

Hey there Tin Man, Great work on the vehicle, you are saving a piece of the past for a future generation to appreciate and I thank you for that. The first photo of the truck on the driveway looks like you are near the coast. Just wondering where you are working such that that incredible view...

You are right, I stand corrected. Rick

Ty and all, I have never seen the plastic air line run all the way to an axle. I would think that exposure to movement from the axle, vibrations and wind buffeting could stress the ferrule coupling area. Rubber would be a better material selection I think. Plastic is too stiff. But I have used...

Perhaps a photo of each would help the OP identify which type he has? Rick
