Never put your finger where you wouldn't put your face. Good advice my Dad gave me years ago.

Did you flip the clutch lock lever out that is be hind the winch? This prevents the clutch from engaging like a secondary safety feature. with it locked, the clutch lever on the winch will move slightly, but may not be as much as you need to have it fully lock. I hope this helps! Don't forget...

I am very happy that your build is going well. I really wish I knew why my LDS piston kits did not work out. I am convinced that they were the problem all along. Also I believe the main bearings were worn some as well which caused the lower oil pressure. Not a junk engine by any means but it...

1300 is toasty. Are you using straight diesel? You have more hills in the common wealth than I have here in Michigan. I sure miss the hills. I sure wish there were easier options for our trucks to install a bigger air cleaner under the hood. I start to pull up my air filter indicator (new style...

I forget the exact process to plum the air to do this. It was listed somewhere else in a thread that discussed how to hook up a glad hand in the front of a deuce to operate the brakes... similar to how the 5 ton trucks do it.

It took a buddy and me 17 hours to change the engine in my Deuce. That is your time to beat. :)

The only bad thing about them is that the valve can leak down a little and lose pressure on the brakes. It happened to me with my Hurst Line Lock that I have on my Street Rod. It would leak down holding the front brakes locked up. I rebuilt it with a new O-ring and it was all better. If you...

Price check with Eastern Surplus. With their prices, you could buy 2 M1009s made from gold, get a first born, an arm, a leg and probably an all inclusive vacation to a destination of your choice. If you are nice and kiss their rear end, you might get them to throw in a free -10 operators manual...

If you have the engine running during operations, then why not do a modification to the air pack to pressurize it so that it locks up all the wheels? There was a modification done somewhere that people use for when towing a deuce, you can apply the brakes on the towed deuce by the trailer brake...

I found the part in the TM that gives the MPG of both the A0/A1 vs. the A2. The A0/A1 = 3-4 MPG The A2 = 5.5-6 MPG

Does the 855 have a heavy duty rating? I think the 8.3 is a medium duty engine. Heck, the LDT-465 multifuel is rated as a "heavy medium duty" on the engine data tag, which is higher than just medium duty. You taught me that! I'm just stirring the pot for fun here guys. :) As long as you are...

I just wanted to say I had a great time seeing everybody! This is my 3rd year going to the show and I really enjoy seeing everybody. You all make me feel like family and its truly great. Thanks and I hope to see you all next year! ~Tom

Let me know how you make out with those "LDS Piston Kits" I didnt have any luck with mine and had lots of blow by. Don't throw out your old pistons! Not trying to be a negative nancy, just proceed with caution. I hope they work out for you. My mom always told me it doesn't always matter how...

Did you rebuild the engine? What all work did you do to it?

You wouldn't like it, its mans beer. Just keep drinking your coronas and drive the Tesla to the show. Don't forget a generator if the charge doesn't last long.

More power than the lawnmower battery you have running a winch :)

I have group 31's in my plastic battery box in my Deuce. I was told they would fit and they didn't and I tried every which way. It was so close but just didn't fit. I only needed maybe a 1/4" more room. I went to Kublo's Surplus and looked at other plastic battery boxes he had. Turns out, one...

Here is a picture of the (4) 11.00-20 NDT tires on 5 ton rims: $100 Spring Seat: $20 Light set, never used: $100 I have a snowblower too, wouldn't mind trading that for something if anybody is interested. new points, fuel pump, oil changed, ready to go.... in another 7 months. I...
