2014-winthrop-to-newport-tripFor our anniversary (which is today) we are taking a short trip through northeastern Washington. Above is an approximate map of our trip. We head to Winthrop today, then will make our way through some forest service roads before taking backroads to Oroville. Then we plan to hang as far north as we can before we drop down to Newport (or somewhere close to that).

Monroe Hydraulic Lift Brochure

• CATEGORIES: Documents, Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This Monroe Lift Brochure arrived while I was on vacation. It’s a great little brochure. The FarmJeep page has information on the Monroe lift, including this Monroe lift parts list.

Also, if you’ve never visited Clint Dixon’s Dodge Power Wagon Monroe Lift page, it’s worth a look. There he has some detailed drawing of the Monroe Lifts. He also has a great photo page that shows a Dodge Power Wagon and the Monroe Lift using different implements.
