    Bouncing/teeter tottering suspension bounce depending on the road

    Ahem. That's "shot", as in ... "OddSHOT". Think of it as random "plinking", or perhaps the single flyer of an otherwise tight group of 6 shots. I collect firearms, and used to write a column about unusual firearms or short stories that mentioned odd firearms in them. The name of the column...

    A couple of M35a2 design and history questions

    I've done a bit of searching, both here and on the web, but I can't seem to find any answers to these. 1. Does anybody have any idea if the removable steel hard top was part of the original design workup or was it an after-thought add on? If the top came after the first Deuce's were built ...

    Deuce Stereo Installation

    I'll be watching this on closely. I'm planning something similar ... but I am VERY hard of hearing and my wife isn't. So I am thinking about including a headphone splitter/amp ... something like this one...

    Food grade 90wt. gear oil

    I've not run into this before ... so I went a-searching ... This site: http://www.crcindustries.com/ei/product_detail.aspx?id=04247 tells us that their "Food grade gear lubricant that is formulated with USP grade white oils." So what the heck are white oils? This site...

    M35a2 home made camper ideas

    BTW, these things don't have to be expensive, heavy or complicated. A used 2 axle cargo trailer of the proper size could yield most of the material needed ... especially the roof.

    M35a2 home made camper ideas

    I've been working on plans for a pop-up, fold-out camper on the back of my bobbed Deuce for about a year now and hope to begin construction soon. See the fotos attached below. The steel frame will be, in part, constructed using the bows and steel bits currently holding the M105 cover and rails...

    M35A2 Continental Multi Fuel - Harmonic Balancer cracked - why?

    Absolutely correct on both counts. Mayor Joe, From the pictures you posted ... you are holding at least part of your problem in the palm of your hand. That key is wasted ... I'm actually a bit surprised that you got it out of the crankshaft without pulling the front cover, oil slinger (aka...

    M35A2 Continental Multi Fuel - Harmonic Balancer cracked - why?

    The exact same failure ... on the same engine ... over a 4 year time span? That isn't normal service life ... something ain't right. How many miles did you cover in four years? Is the key worn ... even a little bit? Did you put on a NOS part or a used one during the last repair? When you...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Yep ... I can back it up too. Necessity being the mother she is, I've done a couple stainless to mild steel weld jobs. No gas ... I used flux cored wire. All of them turned out OK too.

    Electric fan for Deuce

    As it says above, some time ago, I tried 2 small electrics ... they couldn't keep up when it REALLY got hot. About 6 months ago, I ended up installing this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/flx-416 Twenty three bucks. You have to do a little trimming to make it fit. It weighs about 2...

    AM/FM Radio + Speakers Installation Questions

    Yeah ... but modern radio gear just doesn't look right in an old Deuce. All silver and black and shiney and lots of lights. I wonder how much work it would take to make a new am-fm radio with cd/dvd and card slots look like an old military radio ... all green and black with knobs and etc ...

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    Probably. But it just might be a couple hundred bucks cheaper.

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    The two Dueces that retain oil ... how quickly do they come to oil pressure on cold start after sitting a while?

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    OK ... The front passage is 11/16". Also, an 11/16" drill fits in the hole as if it were the drill that made the hole. Yesterday, I did NOT measure the rear hole, I didn't think that you would want that one, but now I see why you would. That hole is 23/32 inch or about 1/32" larger than the...

    Oil filter cans that retain oil?

    That's what I got. Just to be sure, I will recheck my measurements this AM. To be 100% certain, I will confirm with a drill bit.
