    Successful Deuce Recovery

    Finished up with the front axle today: installed new oil seals & boots on both sides, reassembled both sides and filled with NGLI #2 (GAA equivalent) grease, installed new NAPA gas shocks, and replaced all 3 front flexible rubber brake lines with custom-made braided stainless steel brake lines...

    Zippered boot replacement can easily be found in TM9-2320-209-20-3-1, Chapter 11-6. Oil Seal replacement, steering knuckles removal, etc... can be found in TM9-2320-361-20, Chapter 7. Same as above for TM9-2320-361-34, Chapter 10, but has much larger & easier-to-view drawings. Download these...

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    Hmmm....batteries are DEAD, even though I've had the 24-volt Solargizer on them for several days. So, I disconnected the bridge cable between the 2 batteries and soldered up some wiring & connectors for my float charger; I'll let that charge up for a couple more days, and in the meantime turn...

    Successful Deuce Recovery

    Received the final 8 torque rod bushings late Thursday, so I spent all day Friday pressing them back into the torque rods, then reassembling the entire rear suspension...thank God for whomever invented air tools! I installed 1/4-inch fuel line as axle remote breather lines, connected them to a...

    air getting into fuel lines

    I recently changed out all my filters as well as cleaned out all the crud that had collected in the bottom of the canisters. I don't know how this truck was making fuel pressure at all, as the conical base that the primary filter was supposed to be sitting on was actually placed at the top of...

    Slowest deuce restoration ever

    I get this often when using my compressor for long periods, such as spraying or using the needle scaler. Just buy a couple of these: Disposable Inline Moisture Filter. I switch them out after each prolonged use, as cheap as they are you can't afford not to. And they work! I haven't had any...

    Rubber track pads & ice don't make good partners....the rubber loses the majority of its flexibility when it reaches freezing temperatures (i.e., running on ice) and it is very easy to get tracked vehicles sliding when on ice. In 1986 I was stationed halfway up Mount Fuji in Japan. We hated...

    What Is This?

    It's an M48 hull; you can even see the original glacis plate & driving lights through the open "hatch" in the second & third photos...the M60-series has 3 return rollers, the older M48s had 5. It has the newer non-directional track, but it definitely looks like a movie prop....possibly a German...
