    Right and wrong way to start a deuce

    LOL.....this is a funny thread. "can someone tell us how to shut it off now?" I know how to shut it off, just exit out of the thread. :wink: I don't see what all of the fuss is about in asking any question, even if it is in the TM. I enjoy the questions, they stimulate conversation, thought...

    Soft Top Repair

    I used the siding trick, it works fine. just as good as the original plastic channel piece. Cut to the length I previously posted. I made mine 3" wide/high, however you do not need to make it this wide. If I had to do it again I would only make it 2" wide, 3" pushes the top up to high and...

    Deuce Motorpool Type Restro so far

    Wow, that looks phenomenal! I really like the green/brown camo pattern without the black. How did you get all of the surfaces so smooth looking? Did you sand or power wash anything or just paint over existing? That looks really nice.

    Steering box replacement time!

    Wonder what if anything that did to the front drive shaft/transfer case when it pushed backwards and if it will bind.

    Steering box replacement time!

    Wow James, with that type of impact to shear the bolts like that just wondering if there is internal damage to any of the bearings, seals or the axel itself. Did the entire front axle shift over?

    Steering box replacement time!

    I have an A2. My wire is held in place with a rubber grommet type plug which fits snug, holds the wire in place and seals the hole it comes out of.

    MD/PA SS gathering at Appels compound

    Hmmm.......I got some flint lock crap from the revolutionary war, some cap and ball stuff from the civil war, a russian WWII sniper rifle, a 45/70 Sharps but all sounds boring compared to some of the stuff I hear is coming. And Judd, you bringing IV's for the hangover treatments?

    In tank pump failure, pics

    I changed all of the filters within the last few months and have not driven it a great deal. Starts right up over 40 degrees with barely a touch of the button. Under that she takes a bit to get it going. Under 32 degrees and it takes a lot of cranking. I run straight diesel. In really cold...

    In tank pump failure, pics

    Should that say too few would lower the output and too many would hit the impeller? Yes, I did fix my pump. Once I fished around and found all the shims I could find (3 or 4 I think) and put it all back together it is working. Not sure what the output pressure should be. When cracking the...

    In tank pump failure, pics

    Does anyone know the actual number of steel shims (volutes) that are supposed to be in this pump? When I found the bottom had fallen off of mine I don't think there were as many shims as are in the first photo of this thread. Will an incorrect number of shims affect the pressure output of the...

    1/8/11 – Breakfast in Eldersburg, Maryland

    Thars military steel in them thar parking lots. Was a nice time, great turn out. It was really nice that Deuce n a half dragon from Delaware and Krall from Pa. made it. I think if old Bob Evans found out they drove all that way just for breakfast at his place might make for some advertising...

    Any Maryland members around?

    One other interesting note for Maryland members. I have heard many discussions about not needing to display plates on these trucks registered as historic since they did not have registration plates originally issued to them as long as you keep the historic plates in the truck cab. This is not...

    Any Maryland members around?

    Class B is not required, the deuce weighs in at 13,500 lbs. depending on winch etc. and is rated to carry 10,000 lbs of cargo over roads making it under 26,000 lbs GVW. Anything up to 26,000 lbs you can drive on a class C (non-commercial) license. Below is the wording for the Historic...

    Any Maryland members around?

    Mine is registered as historic ($80 p/yr in insurance with restrictions). What are you going to use it for? Farm use can register as a farm vehicle, otherwise you will have to register as a Class E truck (two or more axles) if you don't want to register as historic. If you register it as...

    Generator problems

    When mine went out I replaced it with a single wire alternator purchased from Avengeusa (Wolverine Technologies). It has worked great ever since, no issues. I'm playing with my old one now to see if I can fix it as a spare.

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    I thought alternator too, since it has brushes. But says generator on the ID plate which threw me off. Generator..... alternator......... generator......... alternator.........so many choices, lol. The regulator spoken of, is that where the exciter wire goes to? And is it mounted on the...
