    Radiator Dimensions

    "bucket" radiator tank We didn't have to open mine, since the core was fine the couple of leaky tubes soldered up nicely once it was cleaned up. So I have never seen the interior of an actual deuce tank. Found the name, the construction is called a "bucket tank", and was also used in a lot of...

    Radiator Dimensions

    Note that it isn't anything like a standard modern core ! I can't remember the term, but my radiator guy called it the same thing as several other people here have posted. Basically the top tank (which actually is sort of two tanks internally), is manufactured as part of the core. To use a...

    F-4 Phantom picture thread

    Nice Pictures ! This one was flying most days last week out of Ellington Field (EFD) - McDonnell F-4D Phantom II - The Collings Foundation Saw it several times on the way to/from lunch. Thought it might be one of NASA's, but the colors didn't match and those are based at (I think) Dryden in...

    Mid Ohio January Generator Rally!! (or 400 Hz to 60 Hz conversion)

    Thanks Speddmon, A local member also pointed that out to me, and invited me up to look at his -003a with an ASK. I had looked through the -24P, but hadn't gone through the -34 carefully yet. I will get the generators running before this hurricane season !

    Bobbed Deuce-Texas Title/Registration Question

    Just a pickup (generic Texas truck plates, if you look around a lot of the smaller box trucks and flatbeds have the same plates), that class is good to 26,000lbs GCVW. It is by weight. I'm not sure what the total was, but it wasn't unreasonable (I want to say ~$250 for 2 years ?). Ask any one...

    Bobbed Deuce-Texas Title/Registration Question

    On the other hand it's no problem to register a Deuce as a regular pickup type truck in Texas. Since I did not want to skirt the restrictions on use, that is how mine is registered.

    Bobbed Deuce-Texas Title/Registration Question

    http://www.steelsoldiers.com/conversations/9593-texas-former-military-vehicle-registration.html is Barrman's thread. But from the TX state site the FMV registration is for a vehicle "restored and maintained to accurately represent its military design and markings." It might be a stretch to fit a...

    Who really made your Deuce???

    If you are asking because you need the info to put on the SF97 request form, or to register it with your state, you will probably save yourself some hassle if you use "Jeep" as at least part of the manufacture's name. At least here in Texas, that is what the registration computers want. aua

    Mid Ohio January Generator Rally!! (or 400 Hz to 60 Hz conversion)

    If possible, I would like to request some pictures of the ASK components as they are removed. I haven't found a parts breakdown that includes the ASK in the TMs (or maybe there is a separate TM for the ASK that I've never found ?). I have found some suppliers for the components you would need...

    looking for M35A3 winch parts

    4000 series motor hydraulics.eaton.com/products/pdfs/C-MOLO-TP015-E.pdf Only found one supplier with that particular number, (but no specs) it is probably an old one, or made for a specific application. If you find a motor with similar physical dimensions in the same series, it will probably...

    1100X20 Spare tire

    I've got 11.00x20 Goodyear G177's on stock rims. The spare fits fine, tight, but fine. They are substantially heavier then the stock NDTs, making it that much more exciting when the little spare tire winch pawl flips over and the tire winch tries to kill you with the breaker bar handle you are...

    Fuel Line Fitting Question

    That part number is definitely a 37 deg (or JIC). I don't know if the actual part matches the number. But, 45 deg is generally used in CGA (compressed gasses) applications, not liquids. We have both at work, and it is a pain since they both use the same thread sizes. If you use the wrong...

    Fuel Line Fitting Question

    That part number is a Parker fitting- Parker - 6 VTX-B 3/8 triple-lok flare tube fitting (37 deg, JIC), 1/4 NPTF pipe, brass But I can only find 6VTXB's in the more current catalogs, I think the extra "B" is one with a nut and backup ring for the tube. Any 37 deg flare (or JIC) type from a...

    new HO scale deuce model

    Gunboy1656, My dad retired this year, and has been getting back into the trains. He likes to model the transition years - late steam, early diesel; so a model of my truck wouldn't be totally out of place (at least the frame and cab are ~1951). We've both looked casually for an HO model over...

    new HO scale deuce model

    So I guess this is just a new run, we both looked last Christmas, and couldn't find any (not even on epay). We found older ones (211 ? 135 ? don't remember now), but no M35A2s.
