It's not a Deuce thing as such, but the single axle tractor in my post above is an International M-426. It was also made by Kenworth and Marmon-Herrington. It was rear wheel drive only and had a 450 ci 125 hp International gas engine. It was used by the Red Ball Express and in the Berlin...

Thanks Tim! Yeah, I thought of you the moment I saw the wrecker. It was real neat. The hood was very long. It seemed pretty simple to operate, but I'm sure there's a lot more to it. The single axle tractor had a stuck valve. A couple of guys tried their best to fix it during the show, but were...

Brutus took me to our first MV show since 2014. The RedBall Express at Gilbert PA. Six miles from my house. It was loosely organized. There were no major vendors. The food was DISGUSTING. Other than that we had a great time. Brutus is in the first pic in the middle. This five ton single axle gas...

I've done them all Tracer. You can't go wrong. Money well spent.

I'm a huge fan of WW 2 warbirds! I have books on the F6F Hellcat, Vought F4U Corsair, P-51 Mustang, and I even have the pilots instruction manual for the F8F Bearcat (my favorite warbird of them all). It can easily fly circles around all of the above. Not even a Spitfire would stand a chance...

Tim, right on time! Thank you for the link!!! I should be driving to the MV show in Gilbert PA this Saturday. It's only seven miles from my house. I've been so damn busy with house projects that I never got to the fenders or gussied Brutus up. It will be the first MV show I've been to since...

Hey guys, how do I vote for MV of the Month? I can't seem to figure out how.

Always great to see a post from you Hank!!! Great pics too!!!

That's a ridiculously cool bobber you have there M.ellis!!!!!!! I am soooo damn jealous!!!

Sure. Always glad to help if I can Hgun. The first pic is to show what the handbrake lever components look like when removed. The second pic shows the new cable in place with it's clamp to the bracket which is under the floor. The parking brake handle assembly bolts to it through the floor. The...

Hello. I've had the hard to set parking brake problem in the past. It got progressively worse until I finally needed a 2" pipe cheater to set it. I found the problem to be, that the handbrake cable was frozen/rusted to the inside of the parking brake cable jacket. All of that force I had been...

I connected my new Big Mike's remote brake fluid reservoir today. It was not too hard. I substituted a worm gear hose clamp for the master cylinder end as it's much easier to turn a nut driver than it is to use pliers under there. The Teflon tape that came with the kit was garbage. Too thin. I...

Beautiful truck in a beautiful setting!!

I sure would like to see some pics or vids of your Deuce being worked like that!!!

I've noticed that it's very hard to see a green army truck at night. I think the extra lights mounted high on the tailgate are a great safety idea!

Thanks Tim and SCSG-G4!! Brutus' driver's side panel drops and latches really easy after I banged it straight with a rubber mallet and a block of wood some time ago. Opening the little hatch and trying to get a short wrench on that hard to reach master cylinder cap is no fun at all. This should...

Here's where I finally decided to mount my new remote brake fluid reservoir. I only have to drop the access cover to check the fluid level. Not as easy as simply looking at one mounted inside the cab, but still pretty darn easy. There's enough clearance so that I'll be able to top it off without...

Thank you for the outstanding pictures Dutch! I get a kick out of the carburetor being mounted so high on the intake manifold. That's the way it was done in the 50's. Cool engine!

Hi Dutch. I would love to see a picture of the gasser engine with the hood up. It would be neat to have a sound clip too, so I could understand what you mean about the cool sound.

Beautiful Deuce! Good luck convincing the wife! Bobbers are really good for driving around town and stuff.
