Mine is doing the same thing right now. The turn signal switch itself burned up on the inside, I replaced that, now it just doesn't blink. I found some exposed wires near the blink box so I'm thinking that's what caused the switch to burn up and possibly shorted out the blink box. I took the box...

Actually I removed the pin it was cutting into my hand when shifting! Hasn't blown yet!These 50 year old transmissions don't just coast into gear like a Honda. They take a little more attitude. Now it just looks like a pineapple!

Started my air shift TC upgrade.

Yeah I'd like that list too. Getting ready to do mine. Thanks in advance...

Changed my fuel filters, greased all the zerks, changed the oil, cleaned behind the gauges (couldn't see them at night), and finished my wo/w to w/w conversion finally. Tied off to a bollard and re-spooled the winch. In the process of ordering some decals since I flipped and repainted the...

What did you get it for?

Nice work! I still need to retrofit an air shift in mine as well. I've had the replacement and the sprag-to-air shift retrofit kit sitting around for about 6 months now.

Hmmm...that's a great idea!

No doubt you won't forget to check your brake fluid now!

Yes sir, it was the bull gear rubbing not the shaft bottoming out. If it happens again I will probably go that route.

I wish the TM would have said to check the end play/position of the drum shaft and add gaskets to it ect. Someone had obviously been here before and stacked about 6 thin gaskets together (0.062" total). Well, lesson learned and now at least I can say I can pull a winch from a deuce in less than...

This weekend I removed the winch completely from the deuce and sat it on a bench. Drained all fluids, removed the propeller shaft cap, tried to spin the shaft. No difference. Installed it again and removed the entire brake housing assembly, no difference. Removed both the brake housing and input...

Ha ha! Guillotine...perfect description.

First time I changed a spare on my deuce I learned the hard way to wear steel toe boots and not sandals. And stand back! That spare tire winch is a little scary. I also learned some new cuss words.

I have both sides removed completely so bearings are visible-input side and the brake housing. No difference. Worm will not spin without a great effort.

Now I'm puzzled. I removed the propeller shaft from the truck, removed the rear gearbox cover/seal plate and exposed the bearing. No luck. Did the same on the front: removed brake drum and brake housing. Still no luck, and both times I tried to turn the worm gear with a 10" alignment punch...

That's the next move, then check end play at the brake end of the worm gear with a dial per TM. I know the PTO spun freely in neutral. Not sure how the winch end spun. Tough lesson learned in knowing existing conditions prior to tear down.

Ok. Removed the cover and the band brake completely off the brake drum. It looks good with a lot of lining left and is round. Propeller shaft still does not spin by hand even with brake removed, although slightly easier, I can turn it with a 24" bar through a u-joint, but still doesn't seem...

It is. The PTO spins free without the driveshaft connected.

With the PTO in neutral, winch drum unlocked, winch clutch shifter in the OUT position, no cable on the drum, how hard should it be to rotate the winch driveshaft? I tried to rotate the driveshaft by hand with the above conditions and it won't budge unless I put a pry bar in the u joints and...
