When free gets expensive

Thanks for the link...wish it had the glass bowl like my original. Looking at the 2 ports for vacuum...one is marked "in"...why? Vacuum coming from engine?

 

So it's finally running thanks to some helpers here. Brakes are inoperative and have recieved a new master and rubber flex lines which is almost done.

Supposed to get cold here quick so I've opted not to use the original pump and have fabbed up a mount etc. for a M8000 winch. Not only can it operate the plow but get me out of a jam....question...front plate for rollers assembly is 3/8...do you think it needs bracing?

 

Thats what I thought...thanks....my first real winch

 

Winch is pretty handy....whooohooo!!

 

now that looks like a freezer full fb

 

Well, I gotta say this Jeep is way better at plowing snow than I expected. We just got about 16" and the first half was really wet. The ole Jeep handled it no problem.

I was kinda worried that the plow would be to heavy but it's a significant advantage to have all of that weight up front when trying to back out of the pile.

I still need a new exhaust system as I have about 3' of tube and the wipers need some attention as well, but she runs perfectly.

The half cab gives you awesome visibility as there is a window in all directions....love that thing almost as much as the heater.

Kubota or Isuzu?

 

Whoa whoa freakin whoaaaaaa--do my eyes deceive me or did this free jeep have a capstan winch on it that you have replaced with the ol electric one? If so do you wanna part with it!

 

Welp, now I know the brand...LOL... PM's returned. Pretty sure I have the crank adapter in brand new condition in the original wrapping paper. A little research and whoa whoa freakin whoa, I see what you mean^

 

Ya I'm not too good at containing my excitement lol they peg pretty high on my coolameter--and now ya know the brand
Not as user friendly as a good ol Ramsey but I'm looking for one for my m38 project and I think they look way more military. atriot:
