So, I drove the deuce to work, everything checked out this morning, good air, except my air buzzer has never worked, but for whatever reason at full pressure it started humming-seemed like a vent on the side, I tapped it, noise went away...anyways going through I check tire pressures, make sure...

Stable it, bearings need the grease, and the oil will wash it away, plus the oil will get on the brake shoes and render them useless. overall it is not that hard, I have found a tranny jack or motorcycle jack works better then a oil-board(long piece of steel oiled up and slide the tires out)...

If I wasn't in the running I would have voted for tankdriver and the WC63. So if you don't vote Kaiser67M715, Vote tankdriver. a few more pics of mine

I really should make a checklist and go through it. there's a few small things I have been pushing, have a small leak between engine and tranny, and it looks like it is more tranny, but still possible it is the rear main. only about 2-3 drops every time I run it-only drips when turned off that...

Guess I should say too, that it wasn't just the vent line but that I also forgot to make sure the fording valve was open. I did run it twice with the vent line but it didn't seem to help, until I realized this morning during my pre run inspection the valve was in the shut position. Sent from my...

Well I solved it or at least the lack of running right when hot-I had not made a vent line for the distributor, so it was probably getting too hot, right now it's idling at 180 degrees, wouldn't do that before. I had the line, just never made it and put it on.....so you guys can classify that...

never pulled the water pump, need to get a rebuild kit or at least the rear seal for the plate, and because I didn't have one, and I can't have the deuce down for a couple days. but the coolant is definitely dirtier, so a flush is in order(don't think I ever did a flush when I first got it, only...

I am pulling the water pump now, and also forgot to mention, which goes with your sand theory in a way, is I have drained the coolant twice in this engine, once when I got it(replaced with new, but it looked clean) and once at the beginning of the year when I did the exhaust manifold(studs...

Vote Kaiser67M715, 1952 Studebaker with the Reo OA-331 gas engine. She's about to make her first big trip to the Weare NH show. Taken some time to get her to this stage, and she has a ways to go yet before she's completely done up nice, but better late then never I suppose.

forgot to mention, but you probably already knew, but any well supplied driveshaft shop should be able to put in a carrier bearing and extra joint, as they extend an m35 one. So while not 100% stock, it would certainly get the job done,(m36 is 4 ft longer right?, pretty sure that would require a...

You may need to get one made up, get a regular m35 one and get it lengthened Sent from my LGL34C using Tapatalk

well, still trying to figure out the heat issue, in the morning it seems fine(roughly 60F, cool no humidity)seems to be at temp(160F); and stays there for over 10 minutes of idling, but there was really no load put on engine as the drive to work is all downhill. on the way home, the temp would...

More typically then not, lots of weights mean it was close to balance before, and adding a larger weight then needed upset the balance, and gave the illusion more weights were needed. I've static balanced tires for a few years(personal cars/trucks) and my dad has done it since the late 70's...

I've dropped my oil pan twice, I Highly recommend using a couple long studs to help ease the pan up, especially in frame, going over the front axle is a pain to get it all lined up right, and the little bolts are a pain to line up, especially if the gasket decided to slip. Although it sounds...

Have you changed oil yet? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Idle is only 450, mine cranks over at what sounds like 200 rpm. Did you check for spark at the cap? Maybe wires are bad. There is the 8022 manual, I'll try and find the info and get it posted, gives you some step by steps to diagnose no spark. There are three or four condenser/capacitors in the...

One cable to ground, a jumper between batteries, two off positive, one goes to starter the other to dash(or alternated/generator then dash, can't remember) If there are two more, most likely those will go to a slave plug, used for jump starting Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll nominate my own 1952 Studebaker M35.

my home town home depot sells red oak, but a couple towns over they don't, and then a couple towns over the other way, they sell white, not red...has to be a store thing, but I am sure they can order it for you.

sorry, the bracket should have that notch, even the later 6.5 diesel motor brackets had that notch(mine did, I was concerned at first until realizing all the 6.2 blocks I had were the same way). Like I said, I have been told the brackets are like that to help with aligning the engine, you put in...
