Food for thought----a local guy way-overpaid for a bobber a couple of years ago. He's a wanna be "off the grid person." He basically lives in a Lowes cabin-storage unit in the woods in the city. He started to under-take cutting logs to be cut into lumber for a real cabin last year. Bobbers don't...

Do you have a military base closeby with an "auto hobby shop?

Hank, I thought about that exact thing a couple of months ago. I highly recommend another large,really large air tank with a check valve on the inlet just to run the train horns. Should I decide to undertake this, I would have to re-purpose and find a place to hang a 100lb Freon cylinder and...

My first deuce had a "C" turbo and a data plate which stated from memory "Engine must run at less than 1000rpms for 5 minutes on shutdown and startup". My new deuce has a "D" turbo (which I like much better) and doesn't have that plate? I've driven turbo diesels for many years and have...

On bearings and seals, I've found out that most cities that have any industry has a has a place that specializes in belts, bearings and seals. When working on my bikes and such, I can usuall y get Timken for less than the crap that is sold as OEM. I walk into my local shop and the owner...

There's an excellent breakdown of the process with lot's of pictures in the Sticky's.

She starts and runs great since I got the stuck shut-off un-stuck. I can stand outside and start her up immediately without touching the pedal at 38f. Starts and runs at +- 850rpms for around thirty seconds and the she goes to +-1100 rpms. I can tap the pedal and she goes back to +-850rpms. She...

What's it used for?

And Timntruck's J-pipe I got at the Ga. rally looks great on it:)

Jeepsinker----Yup.

PO thought old diesel was the problem with it not starting and I saw him put 5gals of gas in the tank with about ten gallons of old diesel in the tank trying to get it to start for the sale. The fuel is clean, Its up to the bottom of the strainer and I can see the bottom of the tank. After...

Finally got an afternoon off of work without the in-laws finding out:) Snipped the safety wire, slid everything out in tact, drowned the assembly with Kroyl then carb cleaner,Kroyl then carb cleaner over and over. Smooth as silk:) Now that I have it in my hands in front of my eyes? It's...

Sorry about making reference to Cheyenne, I had forgotten how far south Gunnison is. But still, the poor deuce was not stolen for its stellar ride, excellent handling in tight turns or fuel economy:( Scrap is bringing crap now. Search for axles.

Cheyenne ain't a big place. Lot's of rock climbers there. I'd covertly check out the bubba's that run and build them. It takes two front ends to make an articulating crawler.

Barring bad weather this weekend, I'm attempting this procedure this weekend. I have gotten my fuel shut off more loose but not floppy? Question----if I remove the shut-off with the arm in the 6oclock position, will something attached to the plunger automatically spring the plunger? to another...

Not a military vehicle, but someone brought in a "Bug". In '92, I rode an Ironhead Sportster from Denver to L.A. and back. Two weeks, one set of points and three headlights later, I made it back. Wouldn't trade it for the world. My twelve yr. old gets the bike when she can start it. Kick-start...

@HanksDeuce, This "Hardball" is probably a reference to General Patton's "Redball". My "ex uncle in law" was an old black man who served in WW2, Korea and Vietnaim. He was chasing Patton across France driving supply trucks loaded with whatever was needed. Food, munitions, tents, etc. Their...

Looks like everything does the "shake, rattle and roll". IMO, I would try an "on vehicle" tire balancing job. It's not easy to find a shop that still can do this. They can compensate for small discrepancies. Although it wont look "military", I always swap the stock steel rims on any vehicle I...

@jeepsinker, I don't want to hijack a thread. I finally removed the fuel shut-off on my "parked when running six years ago" deuce last week. The shut off was stuck in the 5 oclock position. I can forcefully move the lever back and forth with a controls(pocket) screwdriver with the governor rod...

@emd567? What are "hard liguids'
