Nah the winch don't look to bad ya just don't stick your fingers where they don't belong.. Old stuff is so cool... 8) Yeah, your right. I get a kick out of looking at good old American ingenuity with all the Rube Goldberg setups. Looks like that winch put a lot of mules out of work. But, I doubt if...

Thanks to all for the response. I guess I don't have to try and find two of these items.

Looking through the pictures of the truck on the index page, I'm curios what the plate with the hole and teeth and is laying on the tire is for. I don't recognize it from my 31 AA

Brian,
Is the first picture showing the running brakes and the second pic. the emergency brake?

Uh-huh-------Be ready to shut her down if she starts growling/barking....Let us know and good luck!

I think the photo blocked out what I wrote . I wanted to thank all helping and the photo is of what I found while cleaning out my garage, I parked it in 83 and have been piling junk on, in and around it since. Thanks to all on this forum I finally dug it out.Thanks to all w http://i962.photobucket.c...

Chris,

Thanks for putting the pictures on the forum. Question, what do you use to get photos the correct size for this forum.
Thanks for any info as I must be a complete dummy. I can't figure how use Photo bucket either.

It amazes me how when looking at vehicles in this condition how many good things are hidden in carnage.

I love all the statements and the replies, along with the great pictures it makes for interesting reading along with a few chuckles. Are we talking oversize hole = fudge factor?

Exquisite

Clamp the piece to be drilled in a drill vice, use the edge of a file to file a small flat across the threads of the bolt, eyeball and center punch the flat. Use a small center drill to start hole, remove center drill and drill correct size hole. Countersink to hide the flat.

Rolling,

I'm glad you asked this question as I have a AA that needs something. After reading Chris Haynes reply I thing I may save myself loads of work and do what I was doing before parking it back in 83.

Check the Airforce musuem at Dayton Ohio website. They have a 1931 AA stakebed on display. Don't know if they have a picture of it though.

Which mount are you refering to? The clevis mounts with the holes thru- looks like spring mounts. maybe the wheel base was shortened, you can see where the frame was cut. or, are you refering to the channel with the two plates with a verticle hole thru-.
