    Autolite 24volt generator

    I was going to take my generator apart to service it, but one of the end screws broke off. I'll save that headache for when it stops working. I think the bearings, brushes, and field coils are the same parts as the autolite 12v generators. The TM you need is TM 9-1825B,Nov.1952 Auto-lite...

    Mechanical Gauge repair

    The coolant temperature gauge on my air compressor had an accident. While removing the temperature bulb from the engine, the capillary tube broke inside the bulb, bye-bye ether. Does anyone have a procedure for repairing this type of gauge? I could replace it with another mechanical temp gauge...

    M923A1 with 4 six volt

    The batteries are 12 volt. They're hooked up in series for 24 volts, and parrallel for increased amps. The best thing is to unhook them and charge them individually with a 12 volt charger.

    Are slave ports rebuildable

    I have the new cables soldered to the pins. I can't get the pins back into the rubber bushing? I had one almost all the way in, the other i can only manage halfway in.

    New Windshield glass sources?

    After installing my own glass and dealing with the headache's involved, I'd rather pay someone to provide and install the glass. If they break it, they replace it. Watched an installer break the glass installing it into my VW Bug. I'd do my Duece glass myself, but much swearing will be had...

    Reo oa331 spark plugs

    I use a Stanley 1/2 drive 13/16 deep socket. It's long enough to fit the plug and clear the water jacket. Another option is a sparkplug wrench for an aircooled volkswagen, it's deep enough and can be used in tight spots.

    It's home and the rebuild can start

    More work done I have spent the last month fighting with rusty nuts and bolts. I have been able to get the fenders, headlight panels, rear toolboxes off the truck. Once the air compressor flaps were tied open, I started pressure washing years of wasp nests off the inside. There were a few...

    395/85R20 on stock rims.

    Yes, but you'll need tubes made for radial tires. As far as I can remember.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    From a safety standpoint, you should have at least a 3/4inch peice of wood under the jackstand for stability. I've seen jackstands sink into the ground. Wheel bearings suck. I have to tackle all my axles.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    If your deployed area has a junkyard/canabilization point, you should spend some off time collecting parts. I spent many hours in Iraq collecting stuff. Should have taken some tires and a cab.

    M35 Reo OA331 Fuel pump

    When you rebuilt the fuel pump, did you use the priming lever toflex the diaphragm while tightening the screws? If this isn't done, the diaphragm won't have enough flex to operate and possibly rip. Also, the NOS kits may not be ethanol compatible. I forget what Chevy/GMC pickup uses a similar...

    Run flat removal and installation setup -- anyone DIY something like this?

    I don't know if using the civilian H1/Hummer runflat is feasible. It's built from heavy rubber like the military one, but can be unbolted. I miss the old magnesium run flats. Pita to change, but easier than the rubber donuts.

    Run flat removal and installation setup -- anyone DIY something like this?

    I've used that tool before, it makes the task so much easier. Basically a strap with a worm gear instead of a ratchet action.
