    RE: More pictures. 1968 Contact this magazine, you should have enough pictures for an article, IMHO. http://www.magazine-agent.com/vietnam/welcome&t=3 (may not be the best link, but it'll get you started)

    Tach cable lube advise requested

    The instrument panel is about to be re-installed on the 757 and my question is, is it a good idea to lube the tach cable at this time? If so, what lubricant? TIA

    HELP PLEASE

    Kenny (Recovry4x4) can tell you all about it, he has a similar situation on his m275. The torque rods keep the axles aligned and are important.

    HELP PLEASE

    That's the torque rod Mark. It will have to be replaced. Saw one on ebay a couple of weeks ago, about $20 plus shipping.

    Question about rebuilding or repairing a deuce injector pump

    This is the hook-up with the fuel density compensator bypassed. Note that plugs may be used instead of loops of fuel line. The loops are used so that existing fittings can be reused. Just don't let any fuel enter the FDC.

    Question about rebuilding or repairing a deuce injector pump

    The hydraulic head is installed with two large O-rings, not sure how they would effect the fuel-in-crankcase problem, but replacing them can be done "in the field". Image from Jason's and my hydraulic head replacement operation at a Flying J T-stop in Joplin, MO last year. There is an IP gasket...

    tap for pyro

    Many multies have their FDC bypassed in the military and if the fuel isn't "turned down", they are no longer "idiot proof". Question, is there a work order (MVO?) of some kind that specifies this procedure?

    Which Block Heater Do I Choose??(NHC250)

    I believe the heating element creates its own circulation by convection. Some external models have a built-in check valve to assure that the coolant flows in a specific direction as it is heated.

    5 Ton Power Steering Question

    Here is the back side of a one gallon jug for Carquest "Premium Tractor Hydraulic Fluid". The only question that remains (for me anyway) on this subject is if in fact Allison specification Type C3 superseeds Type C2, which is specified in the '68 TM.

    help please with diesel generator add-on advice

    RE: Ok then... Patrick, in one short sentence, would you mind stating the problems/issues you have with the power generating system, specifically, so that a solution can be found that makes sense? Going from distorted waveforms to stacking equipment on a trailer is what gets a bit hard to sort...

    What to expect-buying a deuce-moving cross country

    My longest road trip in a deuce lasted 6 weeks and covered some 6,000 miles. The main thing is not to have a deadline, take your time. I would also add that weather may be a factor. I'm very comfortable in the truck, used ear plugs mostly, VIC-1 headsets are not a problem for me. Slept in the...

    Safe Starting Fluid ?

    Your engine should start easily down to 10°F without any aids. Below that a properly operating flame heater (intake manifold heater) should enable you to start the vehicle. If it's really cold, a coolant and oil pan heater is needed (arctic kit) as well. Ether can be used in small dosages while...
