First, WELCOME BROTHER, The front axle U-bolts are the same for the 39 , 809, and 939 series 5ts

Buy a rain suit from walmart to wear, this may sound funny but it WORKS, it will hold the heat in and the same time keep the cold, air flow, and water OUT. I have NEVER seen a deuce or 5t (up to the 939 series) that the front windows DID NOT LEAK, this is WHY the BII includes a rain suit and a...

Up above when I was talking about using MY pins and shackles for a lift because I trust mine because, there may be none on the towed vehicle, the shackles may be deformed ,the pin is bent like the one below, or not a REAL lift shackle/tb pin ditto below. The pin shown came off a recovered truck...

The MAIN REASON for cutting off wrecker bumperetts is that they get into the way of rigging the lift shackles with the safety chains, the -10 even has a alternate hook snubbing instructions if the bumperetts are missing. They is never a reason to get into the bumperetts and if I had a wrecker...

I am not worried about backing up and getting into the tb or towed vehicle, NO difference in backing up then anything else towed, THIS is what MIRRORS are for and if in doubt GET OUT AND LOOK, if you can not back up with a towed something without hitting something or two blocking the towed...

Jeff, this is true but I can adjust out a bit if needed and still be shorter then a closed medium.

I had thought of this way to go then after some thought, I realized that with this idea there is a lot of work just to get a short 39,000 lb. rated tb., getting a newer 4 part 83,000 lb. tb. not only gives me a short tb. but one that is rated for 83.000 lbs., over twice the rating of the 39,000...

The H beam is 9" because a deuce bumper is 9", to have H beam 10" to match a 5 ton bumper would make it hard to rig on a deuce bumper because of the way the securing chains are rigged. The fixture fits inside of the lift brackets. My main mod is going to be extending the top lip to make it...

Thank you for the thought but I need the ring on the tb. so this would not work, just using the inner legs will not make any difference, I WILL NOT cut up a tb and I will not weld on a tb, the heat changes the metal, may/may not decrease the strength and I am sure that my welds would hold but...

We had been talking about a reversed tb pull for a better lift tow in another thread, I thought I would post my post describing my reverse tb lift tow rig here so other wrecker owners may use this idea to get away from the 2 pivot point doing a standard lift tow. Here are some pictures. The...

I fitted the big small hole nato can into a older U.S. holder, just took a bit of direct contact with a 3 lb. hammer to reshape the corners then paint and wal laa, a nice factory can and holder set.

I still think it is a axle issue, this is the same axle that you had the torque rod mount come loose, along with major vibration you feel, I truly feel that you will keep breaking stuff around #2 axle till you find out where the vibration is coming from, I will guess you WILL find that #2 axle...

As far as heating goes, do NOT just heat a small area right at the hole, warm up a area about 6" around the hole, this will keep the area clean so you can get a good adhesion other wise if ONLY heated right at the hole the contamination will migrate right back to the just cleaned area. ALSO HOT...

Even if JBing, you need to get the oil oil out of the metal at the to be fixed spot, I would use some heat to bring the oil to the surface, then acetone, keep doing this till the area is clean, does not have warping heat. JB weld will not adhere to a oily service, even cleaning with acetone...

I have three 1/16 scale m3 or m5, think m3, they have small lawn mower 12v batteries, sound, full independent suspension, right now I have a sticky servo in one unit and a control issue on another hand held controller, the the third will be used for parts because these tanks are not made anymore...

We could do that.

NOT pointless, you NEED to know where the vibration came from OR you may be replacing engines once a week, this type of issue IS NOT a plug and play fix. You post up with a issue, you ask for thoughts. if you DO NOT want to read some thoughts on your issues DO NOT post up the issue asking for...

BAD U-JOINT will not cause this damage, this IS ENGINE related.

Yes, I picked up a 1078 from ATL., had a oil leak right there, had to pull almost everything to get to the gasket, it looked like when the gasket was installed there was something under it, got the gasket/gaskets and a bunch o-rings from Cat

The older the tire is, the harder it is and the faster it wares.
