Not sure what I want to use, that's down the list aways. I pretty much need to go through the whole truck first and get it on the road.

I originally thought about the winch extention pieces, but decided they were too pricey since I wasn't going to put in a stock winch. It would be cheaper and easier just to buy a W/W M35 than to add the parts. I can almost buy a 24v winch for the price of the frame extentions. Thanks for the...

Pulling the wheel is the right way to do it. You can get one of those Harbor Freight appliance dollies to get it off. If you have a smooth concrete pad to take it off on, you just have to raise the axle enough to just take the weight of the tires. Use bottle jacks to get the right height, but...

I got a couple of frame sections to extend the front bumper. I'm eventually going to put on an electric winch (too much cost and work to add a OEM winch to a WO/W). I have 14" sections to put on, and I bought some 1/4" plate to splice the extensions on. I have 2X18" wide pieces for the top...

Nice avatar Shenk, makes me want to watch the Herbie Hancock video. I love that song.

Don't smile if you have the windshield down, you get bugs in your teeth. :driver:

I used a hydraulic bottle jack (8 ton) and put the tire under the front of the deuce using the frame to jack against. It took me about 30-40 minutes to get it off the rim, but it's the first one I'd done in about 20 years. I have 3 more to do.

That's exactly right, because that's what they were for, to keep troops from falling out of the truck when the private driving for the first time dumped the clutch with 2 dozen troops in the back.

Congrats!! Nothing wrong with giving your own horn a toot now and then!

Please don't give advice about tractors because you are going to get someone killed. Your rational about hitching to a tractor is obtuse on a scale of Biblical proportions.

Doing it in house maybe. But when you consider the liability issues for commercial applications, that's when it gets pricey. I think you'd have to have something like an ANSI (?) certification or something to market it retail. That's what I'm basing my opinion on. There was a discussion on...

How much pressure are you putting in your system? I wouldn't think plastic drums would handle too much, but then I don't think it would take much to push the oil through either.

I don't think you could make a ROPS for a Farmall for only $1500. At least not one that had some kind of engineering going into it. My tractor weighs around 5500 lbs.

Common sense should tell you to hitch a load to the tractor the RIGHT WAY. If you can't operate your tractor the way it is designed you probably shouldn't own one. I had a linkage pin for the governor fall out when plowing once, there's no way I could have shut down the tractor or controlled...

I wish my truck looked that good.....

Here's a little reading for you. In the second link note that 85% of accidents involving flipping over to the rear are fatal. I'm betting your Ferguson and Farmalls don't have ROPS. And that TO30 weighs at least 3000 pounds, it ain't gonna feel good sittng on top of you while you're folded...

That should be at least #2 if not #1, and it should read "WILL flip over backwards", not "might". Sorry to hear about your cousin, that type accident has killed a LOT of people, probably in the top three causes along with rolling over sideways and PTO accidents.

Logs on tractor tires are a VERY BAD IDEA! They WILL HIGHLY increase your chances of flipping. On a duece, you won't flip, you just have to be carefull to avoid damaging the truck. Glad you got it out!

never, ever, hook up to the 3pt hitch on a tractor!!!!!!! that is just about a guaranteed way to flip it and kill you!!!! always pull from the drawbar! you must always pull from below the level of the rear axle or the tractor will rotate on the axle in a heartbeat!! I don't care what...

Well the biggest thing I need is about a dozen cases of hours depending on how many are in the case. I need the eastern standard size. Other than that I'm pretty good for now. I got enough parts with that deal so that I can redo all the axle seals and bearings if need be, and do brakes on 2...
