This is one of the best mod I have ever done to anything. just broke it in with the excavator out to sodus and the shift points are perfect. I would recommend this setup to anyone looking for something better than stock.

What's the length and what did you have to do for a speedo? 

I am running a 2wd trans now with a divorced 205 so if my nv4500 ever s**ts maybe that can be a good bolt in.

It is about 30" bell housing to yoke. I am not sure on the speedo yet but I know mike has that answer so I am not worried.

This boom lift is the first thing I have ever moved that gave the trailer a work out. It only weighs 13k pounds in a tiny platform. I am loving first gear in this tranny took very little effort to get the weight moving

Glad it's done. That guy never called me. Looks wide anyway.

Isn't that a 14k trailer?  Don't let Johnny law see you....

I have heard of a couple of guys lately getting pulled over by the DOT that were hauling eq. with a one ton.  One guy got a nice stack of tickets.  He was guessing $1000 in fines, went before the judge, judge said he didn't know the dot laws that well and made him pay $65 fine and court fees.

That was getting moved like 5 miles through the city. I know I was way over weight I would never had gone down the highway with that thing. The good old $1 can spray paint is not holding up!
