Differential lockers! Now I think I’m with you.
A lot of M809 and M939 series trucks used by the Marines IIRC had Detroit no spins in them. Also, M1500 Oshkosh crash truck. I believe Red Barn Customs sells Detroits, and spools.
I assume you’re talking about what most civilian truckers call a power divider? If so, I’m not very familiar with the older series trucks but don’t think they have one, same as the 8 & 9 series trucks.
There were a bunch of Husky tires surplussed at the end of the GL days. The street tires where South African made NDT’s. If they are not still being auctioned, I’d bet the big surplus dealers still have a bunch lying around…
So far everyone’s getting along and playing nice together. I guess we stopped camping in the woods, so they stopped trying to eat in our campers! Well that and the garbage cans overflowith again…
Also if anyone else needs to know, cell service is decent, and much better than in the past. Also, public Wifi coming out of the office, password posted at the checkin desk.
Are we there yet!
Does anybody know if cell reception has gotten any better (or worse) in the last few years, mainly around the lake? My wife has a few internet meetings tomorrow, trying to figure out if she is going to have to drive back home for them…

Let me drop this here.
The PH520 would have approximately 1/2 the power of my hoist with twin 5x20 cylinders, but I’m only running 2500psi and your bed is 2’ shorter. My overhang from pivot to the rear is 10”...
Worse, as in faster? Check the transmission to transfercase drive shaft. Also check for water and condition of fluid in both, especially the transfercase.
First thought is shift cable adjustment. Second, make sure button on transfer-case shifter is not stuck in, but don’t think no reverse is typical issue with that… everything getting fuzzy with old age.
They are wagons with a tongue thats too short. Backing a truck on towbar is “easy” comparatively. Backing a wagon with a farm tractor is an art, (back in the day my dad made it look easy) backing one attached to the rear of a big truck is near impossible. Same as 98G mentioned, I can back a...
I was a tad heavier at 11 ton, at 60psi. Tread came apart in 2 big slabs and several small chunks. I drove a little over 1/2 mile down the road to get to a safe place to get off the hwy, maybe why the carcass looks so bad. Also, I was in the middle of changing the tire is why the two axle bolts...
Looks like G’s numbers are correct. Mine has 3912487 stamped in the bottom of it. Ebay has one listed for $64, but is either the wrong picture or part number. I make a lot of stuff but wouldn’t attempt this for less than the $145 G posted.
I do have a spare that I would let go. Due to rules I don’t want to post a price here. If by chance you are coming to Findlay, I can bring it. PM me if interested…
