Ok, as usual, SS came through. Radio Shack had a reasonable replacement. Not quite as good as the original but usable. Mucho gracias fellas C

Who's dog was this? I like the "doggie medic" bag, I'd like to make one.

Wow! Looks great. I love the color. We look forward to seeing it in October. :D

Some of the military 20K and I think all of the 45K lb winches had level winder apparatus' on top, in order to lay the wire on the drum correctly as it was spooled in. They did this because the wire rope was so thick (5/8" and 3/4" I think) as to be unmanageable by hand. The deuce 10K lb...

Cool! Welcome to the site and thanks for your service. :beer: Sadly, all the neat stuff (Jeeps, muscelcars, etc.) have some kind of "bubba magnets" imbedded deep within them. It's up to us to undo stuff like this. Although SS has traditionally been very heavy on the CUCV/6x6 vehicles, we've...

Only experienced Army Motors readers know about those. :p

Holy crap-you broke it!

I found it-it was on youtube and posted in a thread here on SS. Both the video and thread were deleted by the author, do not know why. C

Way better. :D

This is sage advice. I can pick up a deuce brake drum & hub assy and lift it up into the parts washer and clean it. 2 guys can carry around a 3053. Wait until you move up to the big stuff-everything requires a hoist or tool to move around.

1. A deuce actually weighs app. 13K lbs w/ow and 13.5K w/w. 2. A Deuce might only weight 13K lbs, but it's rated for approximately 23K lbs. Since it weighs 13K and is rated for 10K on road, it is...................... a 23K lb rated (GVWR) truck. Hence the 26K lb tag.

99% sure the pulley stays on, held on by the tension of the belt. I don't remember taking pullies off.

I don't even remember a snap ring, but you may just have to wiggle the fan to get it to come free. I've done a bunch and there always "snug" but some wiggling or light tapping should break it free.

1. Deuces are totally awesome and neato. You should buy one. Maybe 2. 2. A good plan would be to first download the operator's manual and read it. Then find a local SS member who has a deuce and get him to give you some seat time. 3. It won't stop with a deuce. Then it will be a mule...

Did you paint them? I am going to clean/epoxy prime/paint mine, hopefully I won't have this issue.

Much thanks for this awesome post, I am about to spend about $100 on bolts to finish my install up. Where did you find the 1/2" tubes on their site? I don't see hollow tubes in the steel section...

Awesome!

I built a ludicrously cheap and terrible looking tow light setup with a couple of the cheap eBarf LED's and some various garbage from Home Cheapo. They work on military 10 pin 24V and civvy 7 pin or 4 pin setups.

He's got plenty of time to take part in internet drama over on G503 in the mule section but apparently no time to return the dozen emails/voicemails I've sent him (I need dataplates).
