    Battery tender needed

    IMHO, that would only apply to de-sulfation devices that also charge (120 VAC versions), the basic solargizer just sends a high frequency pulse thru the cells to reduce sulfation. There isn't enough power from solar panel to restore charge to a partially discharged battery.

    Put A muffler on a Deuce

    :-) This is the tanker truck where the diverter valve came from. You should be able to fabricate one, pretty basic, really. Edit: Added images

    Zenith Mechanovac Governor

    Jon, is there a patent number anywhere on the unit? If so, do a patent search and get all the info you you'll need.

    Napa oil filter o-rings alternatives

    The purolator filter comes with the correct gasket. The Carquest fuel filters come with gaskets that I don't believe are correct, however get the correct secondary and final fuel filters from SECO, #054615-01 and you should be all set.

    Napa oil filter o-rings alternatives

    Oil filters (25 micron): Carquest 85133 comes with gasket. Primary fuel filter (40 micron): Purolator 053754-01. Get this from SECO in Augusta, GA. Don't use the NAPA 3511 or equivalent for the primary, it's way too fine at 10 microns and will clog to easily. Secondary and final fuel filters (6...

    Cranetruck tire bead breaker

    Went to a local tire shop for more info and they use a liquid soap on the bead area before breaking it loose, sort of a soap "penetrent", since oil is not good to use on tires. The Tire Slick (image below) is also used for mounting the tire. I'll try this on next one...

    Cranetruck tire bead breaker

    I have seen workers in tire shops go at it with mallets and large hammers (duck bill?) to loosen the bead. In my example above, the tire isn't going to be reused, so cord damage doesn't matter, but how far can one go before permanent damage is done and is there a difference between radial and...

    brake pedal to BOTTOM OUT OR NOT

    This dwg courtesy Gringeltaube, shows you how the master cylinder will operate the wheel cylinders without any air pressure. Note piston "P", it has a valve within it, so that the fluid will go right thru it when there is no air pressure, this also lets you bleed the brakes without air pressure...

    Cranetruck tire bead breaker

    Yes, it is. It blew during the tow from OK, the only radial of the bunch... Doghead, the m656/xm757 trucks are in some ways related to the Gama Goat, aluminum, swimming ability and built at about the same time. Papercu pointed out that the cords could be damaged with this procedure. I only...

    Cranetruck tire bead breaker

    Before looking for beadbreaker tools, I thought it may be worth a try using the hydraulic outriggers on the deuce....it worked like a charm.

    new style light switch install.

    On the deuce, the batteries are grounded to the frame. Ground connections from that point on depend on additional ground straps and star washer/bolt connections to each lamp or device using the 24 volts. The instrument panel relies on the 1/4 turn fasteners for its ground, for example. If you...

    Ferro- The Alternator slayer

    The older separate regulator (25 amp generator), is protected from short circuit overloads and also open circuit conditions. However, a bad connection to the battery will create huge voltage spikes that can take it out. I still use the old 25 amp system and have added a few components to make...
