Sasquatch.. Check the little bottles of the same type of GO at carquest. As I recall, the little bottles specify the MT-1, they just forgot about it on the big pail. Matt

RTFM

You're on the right track - I will try and dredge up some of the previous posts on this topic, but here's the nutshell from my experience: 1. Sometimes the rear main seal is in a retainer, which much be removed, and the new seal must be pressed into the aforementioned retainer prior to...

The comment regarding sprags has to do with getting in the habit of starting in first, because if you go into any other gear (than first) from reverse, the sprag goes kablooey. So, sure, if you went from reverse to first, and didn't go back to reverse, then starting in second would be fine...

OR! Start in 2nd LOW, and then bump it up to 2nd HIGH! 2nd low has almost the same ratio has 1st high, and is easier to get into when approaching the stoplight. Again, 101 ways to skin a cat. Starting with First is rightly emphasized in the manuals because of the earlier sprag unit for...

You can't hear it even when you stand next to the tank? Do you have power to the pump? Is it grounded adequately? Is your fuse blown? Use the search function - the manuals and PS magazines cover troubleshooting pumps. Matt

dabtl- That was my assertion, as well. Matt

Did you check ODIron.com? Matt

Why? Matt

dirty- Clutch? Do you mean clutch plate? Not hard. Moving tranny? Easy, once you finish cursing the Reo engineers for putting that *$%#@ cross member an inch forward of where it should be. We used a simple 1 ton engine hoist to drop (er... safely lower) mine last spring. I just removed the...

Rattlehead - Why on the far rear axle? Because of the way the springs are set up, don't you lose traction on the forward rear when you accelerate? It would make more sense to put the lockout hub & double splined axle on the forward rear, I think. That way, as you accelerate, the tires are...

We'll be leaving in about 1/2 hour, should be at the park in about two... see you all soon! Matt

gimpyrob- Sorry about not contacting you. My PM folder is already maxed, and your phone number got auto-deleted, and when I left the house in MI, I thought I was skipping Cinncinati! Sorry about that. Mangus- I might try adjusting the clutch, but i wasn't about to mess with that on the road...

RE: Short Update Sorry for the delay- We are safely in GA, and checked into the hotel. I will provide a full(er) write-up soon, but thank you all for the phone numbers and "votes of confidence" (devilman - I know you're just being realistic!!!) Trip went well - I was towing the M101A2 with...

Well.. the movers packed most everything up today ... And I will probably be without internet after tonight. I might have some on the trip down, but in case I don't ... wish me fair winds and following seas! Matt

Wow... a personal welcome from the Fleet Admiral!

The flywheel installation stud and clutch alignment tools are both mentioned in the Multifuel TM, as in "Have the machine shop make you a stud according to drawing #xx." For the deuce multi, that's a 1/2" bolt, with 20 TPI. Threaded rods can be had pretty much anywhere. However, the deuce...

Moderators- Request this thread be moved to the more appropriate "5-ton" forum. Matt

Houdel- Before you go buying an air pig and such... just try buying a glad hand from NAPA, and use 3/8" fittings, and use a section of 1/2" hose. I mean, you're going to need 1/2" hose ANYWAYS if you do the air pig idea, but try that first, and see what you get. The emergency gladhand comes of...

ken- Now i just looked at OD Iron's website... New Style Rear Main Seal, and it is WAY cheaper than NAPA!!! Is there an icon for kicking yourself in the ass? aua <-- I guess that will do Matt
