The size and weight of the drum is an indication of its ability to dissipate heat, I think the deuce drums can handle about 12 KW ea.... If you are concerned about water and mud, drill holes in the drum along the pad contact area to help get rid of it, thought about doing that on my deuce and...

Ebay has some available right now....at least the "sugar scoop".

Hmmm.... 1) Speed:No 2) Side slope ability: No 3) Angle of approach: No 4) Swim ability : No 5) Fording abiltiy: No 6) Fuel economy: No 8) Turning raduis: No 9) Air droppable: No 10) Ability to traverse logging trails: No 11) Serviceability: No 12) Removable top: No 13) Driving in/on snow: No...

The only picture I have seen is this one, from the 8x8 TM. The indicator light serves an important function, it tells you that the heater is running and you should not shut down the power to it manually, it must be done by the automatic purge cycle and the light tells you when you can safely...

No, not really, a little on the upper end perhaps, but they seem to be hard to find as stated. You will also need the fuel pump, control box and possible a separate circulation pump. Furthermore, the exhaust may be used for heating the oil pan (most important IMHO), so the exhaust pipe/oil pan...

Good point Mark, I keep parts for a replacement with me on my trips, was concerned about the effect of biodiesel/veggie oil, but no problems yet. It's a 3/8 fuel line with standard fittings, easy to make up a spare.....Inverted flare on one end and "regular" (SAE 45°) flare with a swivel on...

Can you provide some specific examples of this, please. I believe parts for the S&S FMTVs are built in Europe, so that's no big secret.. IMHO, it would be very difficult to build a truck that excells in all areas, just size will accomplish a lot, but it will have shortcomings in other areas...

Of course, you can. If there is no other wire coming out of the unit, then the case must be grounded via the mounting bolt.

Here are images to refer to, the driving light and the, presumibly, missing connector. Hope it clears things up. :wink:

Re: RE: Slave Cable PM sent....

Hmmm...maybe I can find a buyer for mine. :-)

A hydraulic system adds flexibility. One PTO can deliver power to a crane, winch, snow plow, wood splitter etc, regardless of where they are located.

Biodiesel contains oxygen and will improve combustion some. With the ULSD, I use at least 10% biodiesel or veggie oil.

I do believe that there is a PS mag blurp on this detail. Has anyone considered the use of the "heavy" tow bar set for the A-frame, they are 4 inches in dia and 8 feet long? Guess it would take a crane to handle the parts, though....

The charging system would not be damaged, but you would be limited to the capacity of the batterie(s). Remember, the starter motor draws 200-400 amps routinely.

That agrees with the 1966 TM also...

No, but enough will take the bypass route to keep the pressure differential at 15 psi.

Ernie, with a bypass filter, you don't need a fine micron full flow oil filter, the stock 20-25 micron is just fine and wil produce a faster "time to oil pressure". As a matter of fact, the differential pressure across the stock filters may have been less than 6 psi, I have to check my records...

Yep, you know me Ken, pictures of everything. :-) While Jason was mounting the tires, I siped them, took about 15 minutes per tire. This was in Arkansas, the images below from this morning, 5,000 miles later. The original depth of the cut was 3/16 of an inch. The closeup shows the typical...
