    Winch problem on a fire dept M54A2 5ton

    Same situation, different animal. I would still take that shaft out and try to unwind the tension with a punch or screwdriver through the shear pin hole. If you can relieve the tension, then is just a (dificult) matter of unspooling the drum. Once you get the tension off, disengage that...

    Winch problem on a fire dept M54A2 5ton

    You don't need to take it our of service. Slide shaft off winch input shaft, unbolt 4 bolts at PTO and it's out.

    The best lockout hubs for a Deuce

    IIRC, the Boyce Hubs are just like AVMs. The price point is attractive.

    Interior lights

    I have a domelight from a piece of armor but frankly never use it. I keep a few magnetic lights up there. There is a light under the dash in the middle. Usually they don't have a bulb.

    Winch problem on a fire dept M54A2 5ton

    Let's start with a bunch of pictures. We can figure most of this out from there. First thing is to get the prop shaft off the winch. Now that the pin is sheared, it's just a matter of prying it back. From there you will need to rotate the input shaft of the winch to relieve the tension. Post...

    Purpose, Function, and Possible Elimination of CDR Valve

    I have a remote concern to contemplate. Is the snout of the 6.2 crank sufficient enough to drive a supercharger? I no nothing about the P400 engine.

    Generator to charge vehicles, Hummer Ford Tesla Volt

    Unless there is an updated TM or some type of mods to this set, it's 3 phase. We have used one for years at the FL Rally site to run a surplus mobile shower system that requires 3 phase.

    I just bought a 1985 Dually

    Answers as available 1) Yes, you can add what you are asking about without issue 2) Do you plan to run 6 tires? Since it's a dually, you could put HMMWV rims on it as is if you keep them single. Dually fenders might look odd.. 3) Yes but the system really should be checked out and fixed. I...

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I'm good there too. I'm interested in the self exciting regulators. I found them for sale, is it just a plug and play?

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    I think that is well laid out Howard. There was a time when I was in FL that I looked forward to getting pulled over for no tag just so I could share my superior knowledge and produce the statute. Anymore I'd rather run a tag and not be bothered. Now that I'm the new owner of a 5 ton dump, I'm...

    Thanks Rick. I have a gauge cluster ready to go in, I just need to swap out all the senders and figure out the pinout on the cluster.

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    Opinion, do you really need one? In most states, likely. Can you get away for quite some time without one? Likely. In my opinion, I'd get one to be safe.

    CUCVRUS Repair Projects

    I'd like to know a little more about this. Alternators are not my strong suit. There exists a self exciting regulator for the 27SI that can be installed? So, if I install these I can do away with the ALT lights? What I would like to do is put 2 12V gauges in the dash, one for each...

    5 Ton CDL?? (Indiana)

    For some states, there is a non comm version of the license sometimes referred to as a farm license. I'll be seeking that as I plan to haul a little gravel for the house.

    DEUCE BRAKE LINE REFERENCE GUIDE (Sizes, lengths, fittings)

    I know this is an older thread but since I've been out of deuces since 2013, I've missed this. It is a great resource and my hat is off to you Peashooter and all those that subsequently provided info and resources. BFS, I think this was the greatest find in here. I've not sent a message about...

    11x20 tires on Deuce?

    Few pics. First 3 are of an auction truck with Firestone T831 tires. 4th one is a member here that I don't recall but has 11;00 Michelins on the back and 14.5 20 Michelins on the front with M35A3 rims. Last is a very fine M342A2 that belonged to Dave of Eastern Equipment back in the day...

    Need help with M35A2 air pack

    Here is the sticky that was no longer sticky. It is again. (1) Airpack Rebuild Warning. | SteelSoldiers Also, regarding TMs, there are series of TMs for the deuce. For example I'll use 2 manuals, both operators manuals for the deuce. TM 9-2320-361-10 is a later version of the TMs. The...
