    Take care when selling your Deuce.

    I feel for you! I had to put mine through an emission test where they floored it from idle to governor four times in a row. I thought I'd strangle the dude. Was useless anyway. Turns out, it indeed had emissions. Blew a solid 70 on the 100 point scale. Needs to be below 55 to pass. Another...

    Wobbly window?

    This is an easy fix. You need three new parts: Window channel front Window channel rear Wiping lip across the top Before ordering, check the window regulators. If you need clips or new regulator, now is the time to order! The OEM ones are metal with a cloth lining. The new ones are plastic...

    Is it hard to cross border in an old HMMWV from USA to Canada and back?

    I would really like to take my Deuce to an event in the US but I am very, very reluctant to take it out of my jurisdiction. It is not only crossing the border, it is also silly things such as IFTA yes/no and commercial vs. personal registration that may work ok in my area but can raise a very...

    M275a2 Question

    Is the M275 more closely related to the M342 dump truck? Similar frame length? Did they box the frame for the tractor?

    Deuce Radiator / material

    I had a slight leak, took it to the rad shop, they boiled and rodded it out. That's how they discovered more holes/thin areas. Ended up re-coring the rad and fixing the tank area. Money well spent, radiator is as good as new. I'd hate to spend an afternoon brushing and soldering and then have it...

    Blow'd Up Sir!

    I think you have the right attitude. Respect allows one to learn, fear...not so much. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    M185A3 wannabe m756a2 project

    Are these bed sides custom made for the pipeline bed or is it something that existed as original issue? The bed looks tough as nails with these sides on! I looked through your list of repairs (critical vs. nice-to-have) and the critical repairs you list is pretty much stuff every Deuce owner...

    oil leak at Injection pump to block

    It is tight and the steering box is in the way. Can you remove the injection pump end of the hose and then get an exacto knife up there to slice the hose off the pushLok fitting? You can't install the new hose that way, but it would give you more room to get a crow's foot wrench or similar up...

    checking oil level on a deuce

    You are right regarding the oil pan having two deeper areas with the recess for the axle in between them. That is different than having two complete separate sumps. Consider that, when the right amount of oil is in the pan, the oil level is quite a bit above the height of that recess. so it does...

    Transmission oil clarification

    I ran SAE 80/90 gear oil in my transmission and it worked. No issues but harder to shift when the weather got cold. I now run SAE 40 non-detergent and it works better.

    Mulemac01 M275 2 1/2 ton Gas truck tractor ON-GOING restoration and rebuild tread.

    If the batteries are significantly discharged , the little 25A generator has a hard time charging. Maybe charge the batteries with a proper charger and then reassess. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    I would loosen the band brake first...might be too tight and/or rusty.

    11r22.5

    Karl!!! Go get the 10 rims! The OTR tread looks too big rig-ish for me. Sorry. This needs gnarly offroad truck tread tires to look good. Otherwise...might as well go chrome your exhaust stack. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
