    dead batteries and freezing weather

    My understanding is that the way to prevent sulfation is to keep the battery fully charged. If the solargizer can't charge the battery, how can it prevent sulfation?

    Why the Deuce Doesn't Have These I'll Never Know!

    I don't understand it, either. I live in farm country and there are fences dividing up everything. What makes you think that there is a semi-continuous stretch of land that folks will let you travel on? Do you think that they will let you tromp all over their crops? You will be arrested for...

    Historical questions on early deuces

    Here is what David Doyle said in an earlier post regarding which came first: Thanks for the kind words about my book guys. I figure that this site refers to the G-749 trucks as the "early" deuce 'cause that's what Chris wanted to call it! And, it does separate them clearly from the WWII...

    Alternator Problems

    There are several new 100A Leece Neville alternators on ebay for a $49 starting bid. I bought two. My local NAPA had the pulley to fit the larger shaft.

    8" headlight or spotlight housing

    Calculate the current at 28V, not 24V. :-D

    Anybody know if motorcycles use 8" sealed beam headlights?

    any body ever bob a m211

    I'd rather somebody bob an M211 than let it rot and be sold for scrap.

    8" headlight or spotlight housing

    They are 28V landing lights as used on a 737, etc.

    8" headlight or spotlight housing

    About 44 amps for the pair. The surge current for one light blew the diodes in my 30A 12V supply.:-D

    8" headlight or spotlight housing

    Anybody know a source for 8 inch headlight/ spotlight housings? I bought a pair of Q4559 600W aircraft landing bulbs cheap on ebay and would like to put them on my deuce. Identical to a regular 7 inch sealed beam headlight just one inch larger and ten times the output.

    best heater for the deuce

    I have a large heater under the passenger side seat and a fairly small Red dot heater under the dash for defrost purposes. Works great and is out of the way.

    50wt in the Transmission

    50wt is what Spicer originally specified as recommended lubricant.

    Batteries and alternators

    I guess that I'll be buying a hydrometer to verify the battery condition. Thanks.

    Batteries and alternators

    I just want to preface this by saying that I did do a search before posting. :-D I had the misfortune of a dead battery in my bobbed deuce over the holidays. One battery was OK, the other was dead. They are about 4 years old. I managed to get it to take a charge. After getting the truck...

    Keys?

    I don't know why keys would be a touchy subject. I installed a key switch from NAPA. Make sure that you get one that doesn't use universal keys.

    Deuce cold weather starting problem!!!!!

    I can't imagine an issue requiring the batteries to be disconnected when using one 12V charger. The thing to be careful of when using two 12v battery chargers is to ensure that the they are electrically isolated. In other words, neither the + or - 12V terminals of the charger is tied to the...

    Re- babbitting a barring.

    I've got a manual for the 1150 cubic inch Waukesha WAKD diesel engine and they did some interesting things to get it started in very cold weather: The manual stated that 30W oil at -30F (quite a combination!), may require more than three times the torque than the engine is available to develop...

    Coverting an OA331 starter from 24v to 12v

    To add to what Barrman stated, the 24V starter is compound wound whereas 12V starters are series-wound and will develop more cranking speed. I second having a reputable starter shop modify your starter. I also have a hunch that this is an SAE-style starter and your starter shop may also be...
