My favorite quote from Recovry4x4 was regarding the dripping oil from the bellhousing: R4x4: "Is it a stream?" Me: "No - it drips" R4x4: "They're called road oilers for a reason!"

so... you gonna do a writeup? Nice pics, and good luck! Next year, I'll be available to help with deuce maintenance! Matt

Don't know about life expectancy, but I found them for $10 apiece. Specs link: https://www.clicksitebuilder.com/templates/cart_v2.0/cart.php?action=4&userID=82539&itemID=313317 Copy & paste: Product Name: 1458 NAPA Gold Oil Filter Short Description: Case, Oliver and White Farm Tractors...

gimpyrobb - They are Continental super singles. Gerhard has gone over how he fabbed up his wheels and what tires he's using and all that in other threads. Matt

Well, the dataplate will say M34, for starters.... :lol: The bed will have wheel wells with square edges, and the bed will be as wide as the fenders and running boards of the cab. Sometimes people put M135 beds on, but those have sloped wheel wells. The singles in the rear does not make it...

it's an M35A2.5!

Haha... no, but I know someone who does! PM sent. Matt

Also, when adjusting the nuts on the threaded end of the cable (down by the t-case), put on a nylon lock nut, or a second nut to cinch it down. My most frequent problem with the parking brake was that nut working its way loose - then I would not be able to get it to hold, no matter how much I...

... the same as the outer rear nuts. Do I take this to mean that you own a deuce, yet don't know which wrench you need to bring along to change a flat tire? WOW. Probly wouldn't hurt to do the ruler thing. Without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, I heartily recommend one of the...

RE: maker/source of reel? Kenny- How much of that plate where the trailer plug is mounted do you think you could get away with cutting out? I mean, if you stay between the vertical supports, that's a 37" wide, 8" deep, 144" long storage area in there!! Matt

gringeltaube- Thanks for the advice - I have gotten that response a lot. My transmission doesn't have a magnet on it. While I was still learning to drive the deuce, I kept forgetting that 1st and Reverse have no synchros. At my last transmission oil change, nothing was hanging on to the plug...

Now i know. It must be a recent fix that it re-orders the pics when you submit. I purposely put them in reverse order, because I thought they would display properly (like the preview) when I submitted. Oh well. gringeltaube- Don't worry, pics will be forthcoming, once I get home for another...

Angle grinder with wire wheel... I was THIS close to buying a respirator to keep the rust dust from getting in my lungs/nose. I used the little dust masks, but I don't think they helped. Matt

... that's wierd... when I previewed my post, the pics showed up in the right order... now they are reversed from the way I put them in..... Matt

Well, with spring FINALLY here in my part of Michigan, got some good weather to finish working on my wheels. They are M135 wheels, and were in pretty rotten shape when I got them. Now I think you'll see they look a heck of a lot better. I will be having them mounted with 11R20 Michelin XL's, a...

How much oil do the hoses/filter hold? How much did you have to add to get your dipstick to indicate you were "full?" Matt

Good evening- What are the size/thread dimensions for the deuce transmission and transfer case drain plugs? I am looking to install magnetized plugs, but need to know their dimensions - preferably BEFORE I pull the plug out to drain it... Matt

Technically, it's their tax dollars at work, too...

RE: Engine Prelubricator .... then it's as good as done!!! As one of the members with no workshop, metal lathe, or fabricating skills, I just want to take this opportunity to thank you, DM, for all the work you're doing for process improvement. There ain't no way I would be able to come up...

Lee- I trust your judgement on whether or not it's oil (blue haze). But, for those members who are reading this, wondering about their blue smoke, I have an interesting factoid. I was reading the 1992 version of the -34 manual, and if engine smokes under normal operation (idle, cruising...
