    New Deuce owner in AL

    My spouse, too, gets to ride in spring seat supported bliss. I have an air ride seat (Shhhhhh! Quiet!). I am also working on spousal support to grow the truck family, but she is not as enthusiastic as I would like. Maybe renovating the bathroom will help.

    Weeklong PM effort was successful.. ish

    When I did mine I had beaten it with a small mallet quite unsuccessfully. After reading the thread I thought "Ok, then!" and whacked it with a long handled sledge. One or two strikes was all it took to pop it off. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    The steering arm can be a b@stard to remove. Here is a good thread. You need a bigger hammer. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/stubborn-steering-arm.47041/

    Excessive blow by and oil leakage LDT465 1D

    It would be helpful to see a video of the blowby. Some reading: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/ldt-465-rebuild.16455/ https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/blow-by-assessment-opinions-needed.130059/ Note that the air compressor is a "must-check" when seeing blowby. Unhook the belt and...

    Can I pay to drive a deuce?

    Well, if you were closer I'd invite you to come on over and we'd go for a little ride. Alas, perhaps there are Texan members that think similar thoughts. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Adding a Turbo to a non with side exhaust

    As a general rule, a naturally aspirated diesel can handle some backpressure in the exhaust. It creates inefficiency. A diesel engine does not "need" exhaust resistance but engineering facts and old timers' lore often do not play nice together. Old time mechanics will tell you that a reasonable...

    Why an M275A2, why?

    Deuce tractors are cool.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    The rad responds very favourably to regular soldering (I accidentally cut into it when cutting the fan shroud...) so in a pinch no rad shop needed! Good that the engine mount does not seem to have cracked!

    Deuce crank pulley wobble/loose

    :oops: That would be such a disappointment! Awesome engine design though, to even run with a broken crank. NDT, I think I know where to find a OEM LDS crankshaft if needed.

    Any updates on that, NDT?

    Decision on a knuckle boom crane.

    There are basically two and 1/2 options. You can run a simple forward facing PTO that is used for the PTO winch and make it work for a pump. It needs fabricating but they are plentiful. The second option is a transfer case PTO as used by the water and fuel trucks and auger trucks, I think. This...

    Transmission; NOS or rebuilt?

    3 - finger is the newer model. However, material thickness may actually be more on the "older" clutches. I can't speak to "better" vs. "newer".

    side window parts and a question

    A quick Google of 2590-00-693-0589 reveals that a vendor that supports this site has the metal trim in stock... ;-) Best of luck with your project and I can rest peacefully now!

    side window parts and a question

    Well, you sent me on a quest! I can tell you where it is NOT: - it is not part of the hardtop kit: 8 is the roof and has no further distinct parts, The forward facing part the cab door window frame rests on seems to be part of the windshield assembly (16 and 18): That leaves the more...
