I’ve been running fairly regular, pulling trailer with it once and awhile, blowby seems to have improved some, but still not the best, has developed a fast tick, I ran overhead again, valve cover gaskets were new. Seems like possibly scored piston. I’m going to pull it down, new sleeves and...

By for the best medium duty engine ever built Derived from the Tractir engines of the early 70s

A two cycle Detroit will run on almost anything but straight gasoline or gungrease, I would steer clear of the 71 series engines and go for 6v53 myself 300hp andmuch lighter with 2750rated rpm

The power steering could be done prior to the steering gear by cutting the shaft and installing a charlynn style in shaft hand pump they work quite well, I put one on one of my old two ton IH trucks and it works well, the disadvantage is losing your horn wire I will try and post pictures sometime

I’ve owned my 71 Deuce for about a month now, maybe a little bit longer but not much. I’ve put nearly 3000 miles on it including my 750 mile drive home with it. It has a lot of blowby, to the extent that I am continually battling with oil leaks (rear valve cover) to be the worst, now it’s...

Pretty sure it is cylinder blowby at this point, when it warms up I’m gonna put my dozer on trailer behind and pull it hard

Give me a shout if ya want 5074023337

I guess I’ll nominate my 1946 CCKW with 1951 Schield Bantam Cartier conversion I am the second owner of it. She is fully operational other than brakes

I will look this weekend if you still need parts I have an extra rear axle

I will try that, I also notice the lack of filter or anything on my compressor, I will take pictures today

I have a good timken steer axle and both rear axles, I am putting the GM axles under mine as the suspension and trunions are busted beyond repair in the rear Call me if you need parts 5074023337

Just thought I’d post a few pictures of my bantam on a CCKW

Breather tube is clear, I had the valve covers off and replaced the gaskets, ran the overhead as well. I know silicone is bad, at this point I’m just trying to get the oil leaks stopped

What do you guys run for oil? I’m running 15-40 Rotella

I drove it 700 miles home from Tulsa Oklahoma It hasn’t got any worse, but that was my thought as well pull the living snot out of it to try and break cylinder glaze
