Everything looks good, you really did bite a bullet on those batteries... Looks like the Dingo is doing well. Did you put Police Interceptor wheels on the DD Ranger?

And what are your plans for this new potential tow rig?

 

[PlumCrazy]

They are Police/Taxi 17s that I drilled and tapped to accept the old Ranger hubbies. I am just rocking them through winter since I scored ba free set of 17" Blizzaks for free.99

Planned to put a 14' flat bed with a 5' removable dove tail on the Isuzu. It's a 4.8l turbo diesel with an Aisin auto. Planned to use it to pull a goose or just haul the Ranger on it.

I paid next to nothing for it from our mutual PA friend.lol....so I might try to flip it and make a few bucks first....

Ya, you can't beat free.

That sounds like something he would have. Is the photo of it at his shop?

If you haul with the Isuzu, what will you F200 do? lol

 

[PlumCrazy]

Yup, that's his new shop. The F200 will get to enjoy it's retired life like most 80s trucks.

Nothing really. Sold the bald balloons, so it sits like this until I find some 37s to daily it on again.

Oh man, you need to put some tires on that thing. It looks abused and neglected with those little tires on it

I have the TSLs...But don't want them sitting outside all winter.

I picked up some 5x5.5 16.5s so I can hopefully score some cheap Military take offs

And added a front PTO to my Simplicity for a snow blower.lol

We just fixed a bracket for one of those. Guy has had the tractor and found a snowblower and front PTO for it, his bracket was messed up so he found another that was slightly different and didn't fit his tractor quite right. The pins the pulleys run on were angled differently and his old one had a notch cut in the bracket... pretty easy fix with a torch and plasma cutter.

Some kind of brake material originally or brass?

All the guy brought in was a u shaped bracket with a couple pulleys on it, never saw the whole thing.

Supposed to be a glued on phenolic material.

I actually had to pull my motor apart so I could turn the crankshaft down from 1.125" to 1.000" for it to work. I bought the PTO and went to install.... Found my engine was replaced with a generic Briggs 10hp that didn't have the same crank snout as the original
