I'm running Amsoil fluids that are supposed to be compatible with yellow metals. No miles on Mah Deuce since I changed all the fluids though..

Got two more cut out (cut out four total so far). Having a much easier time burning-out the rivets working from the outside-in. I'm not exactly a Jedi-Knight with a cutting torch though. Just doing the best I can. I think it's taking me a lot longer than it should, but they're coming apart...

My rubber lines look pretty good, but I'm planning on replacing them with some nice stainless/kevlar-braided ones whenever I get around to it. Anybody know what size/type of fittings are on each end of those flexible rubber hoses? I should have taken some dimensions when I was working on my...

Here you go

I just finished blowing all the rivets out of the first two wheels. Still experimenting, and haven't got a great technique figured out yet. Did the first wheel from the outside-in, and the second wheel from the inside-out. Working from the inside-out makes it a lot easier to stay centered on the...

As suggested, here's a new thread about flipping the center-section in riveted wheels. I'm only figuring it out as I go, so I'm not intending to make this any kind of 'how-to' post. But I know that others have done this, and I'm hoping that they'll post-up with tips, pictures, and any other...

You're too much G. Thanks again. Looks like the quick measurements I took yesterday were pretty close. I figured I'd end up with about 1/2" offset, and it looks like I can probably cheat another 1" out of them by cutting off some of the rivet flange on the center-section and welding it further...

OK, thanks. I don't want to widen these wheels though. The 11.00 Firestone T831 radials I'm running are supposed to be mounted on 7.5-8" wide wheels. If I could run 10-10.5" wheels, I just get some modified HEMTT's. But someone posted a picture of an 11.00 radial mounted on one of those and it...

What's the best way to cut the center-sections out of the riveted wheels? Torch? Drill? Grind? Pound? All of the above? I just bought a bunch of riveted wheels, and I'm thinking about flipping the center-sections. I'm only running 11.00 radials, so I don't need to widen the wheels. I just...

Is anyone heading south? There's a generator trailer (like a flatbed M105) in McKenna that I want to buy, but I can't justify making another trip all the way up there just to get it. I'm in the bay area (right off 101 about a 1/2hr south of San Jose), but wouldn't mind driving to meet-up with...

Glad I was able to make it, even if only for a little while. Great to meet everyone. I put in two solid parts of scavenging at Brad's and then followed Joe up to his place after we left the rally, where I picked up my new engine. Finally made it home at 4:30am last night/this morning. That was a...

No, I decided to wait to install the Spinner. I bought an LDS engine that I'm going to swap into Mah Deuce (just got home with it last night!), and I'm also going to install a RACOR CCR and primary fuel filter in the same area. So I think I'll probably be able to make a one one mounting bracket...

I've heard different opinions on that. I totally agree with you, but I also can see where the military might have set a conservative redline, fully intending for them to be run right up at redline, and knowing that they would be over-revved. Dunno, but as I understand it, the redline was bumped...

Thanks Beerslayer, I just figured that out. Problem solved. Are you going to the rally in WA this weekend?

I just did that search.

Right. I just want to know what the part numbers on the data-plates are.

Oh, cool. I was told they were only labeled with part numbers.

Can anybody tell me what the part numbers or markings are so I'll know whether I'm looking at one or the other?

Nice setup. After lugging this towbar around a bit, I'm starting to see the wisdom in mounting/storing the two halves separately.
