Did you check your fluid levels before and after the trip? I'd wipe everything down, take it out for a drive and re-inspect to see if you can isolate where the oil is coming from
Well, he doesn't quite have 20 out there anymore. He has had to scrap a majority of them due to the county ordinances. He must have about 6 deuces or so and I'm not sure if they are all in running condition. Two of them are for sale however.
I am no expert on transfer cases, but the consensus is the Sprag transfer case is what contributed to the high rate of Deuce failures in the field (failures meaning having to be brought to the motorpool for repair). However, one can change out the transfer case and replace it with an airshift...

Wow Todd! Thanks for the sobering reminder. Seriously, how many of us have actually done a real safety check on our MV? I would venture to say the majority of us have not. I am guilty. I consider myself lucky for having driven home 4 deuces w/out any issues. I told myself that I am not going...
So here it is. The theme is yes it can be done, can it be done safely is the question. How are the brakes on your trailer and pulling rig? Only you can answer that.
