    East Coast Snowmegedden 2016

    Anyone have any pics of their Deuce out and about in the blizzard this weekend? And a question, short of putting chains on the deuce, how do you get them to get traction and move through heavy/deep snow? Would be pretty embarrassing to be stuck in a Deuce spinning wheels while little Hondas...

    Air Compressor belt

    The belt for the air compressor runs smooth when the compressor is not on. When the air compressor kicks on, the belt starts flapping to the point it strikes the tach cable casing and has worn the outer rubber off the casing down to the metal. The belts are tightened to specs. What would...

    Sprag Transfer Case

    1968 Deuce with Sprag transfer case. Had to take the front drive shaft out due to issues. Was thinking maybe it was an adjustment issue, but given what I am about to describe was hoping someone with intimate familiarity could provide some input. While driving occassionally Deuce would start...

    Jerry Can Strap

    Am I the only one that can't figure out how to attach the Jerry Can strap? I have seen some unbolt the can bracket bottom plate and run a single stap underneath. The one I got was a two piece. One of the pieces was already sewn in a loop but the only way to secure it to the slot/hole would be to...

    Anatomy of a Deuce Generator

    Last year my generator crapped out and I replaced it with one of the Wolverine Technology single wire alternators from Avengeusa which has been working great ever since. Figured I would take the old one apart and fool around with it to see what makes these things tick and maybe even repair it...

    Mysterious brake fluid loss

    I am baffled. I recently replaced all of the rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders, inner and outer seals, inner and outer bearings etc. All brake lines were bled and brakes are rock hard. I also added a remote reservoir under the hood so I could monitor the brake fluid level. Here is the...

    Turn Signal / Brake Light help

    Searched threads and didn't find anything that covers this specific combination. Lots of good info in other threads however most deal with total failure. This seems to be a partial failure. Have tried every switch position and have the same issue. > No brake lights and no rear turn signal...

    Axle seal technical question

    So today we disassembled my driver side rear axle to replace a leaking axle seal. I was surprised how easy it was to break it down, get everything off and clean it up. We left the wheels on, removed the outer axle bolts, removed the axle shaft, then removed the outer hub bolts etc and removed...

    Side hood part

    Anybody know the name of the part that covers the round hole on the driver's side hood drop down panel? Looks like a formed metal hood vent/intake. And where can I get one?:confused:

    Axle Vent Anatomy

    Here are some pics for those wondering what makes up the axle vent. After what appeared to be an axle seal leak, I took mine off to clean. Fixed the leak for a while but leak is back. Took the vent off again and there is pressure building up as you could hear the pssst when I removed it...

    Corner, Bows and Stakes restoration

    Well my cargo bows and hardware were shot so I decided to restore them. My stakes were rotted out so I had a buddy of mine make new ones out of oak and I painted them. The steel corners were in pretty bad shape so I stripped them with a grinder wire brush to bare metal and repainted them. The...

    Fuel and Temperature Guages gone Wild!

    I was having issues with my guages. The fuel guage would wildly jerk back and forth across the dial occassionally. Then my temperature guage started to run hot, then when it hit about 220 it started jumping back and forth like someone was flicking it. Once it cooled down it was fine again...

    Dang Mice! Enough is enough!

    Ok, now it's war! Critters have gone too far. I checked my air filter yesterday and found all kinds of seat fabric and insulation in it. Little buggers have been going into my seats in the cab through the small round air holes in the wood under the seat and taking out the insulation. Then they...

    Axle plug won't budge

    When checking the axle fluid lvels, one of the fill plugs won't budge. Tried breaker bar, socket wrench, socket wrench with hammer. It also looks like the square center is starting to round out. Any suggestions?

    Air Compressor Air Filter?

    I never noticed this before, but there is what appears to be an intake tube on the rear of the air compressor. I'm guessing this is an air intake? It is a hollow metallic tube but there is nothing on the end of it. Is there supposed to be some sort of an air filter on the end of it to prevent...

    In tank fuel pump fuse cover leak

    I pulled the in tank fuel pump because it was running but not pumping. The bottom had fallen off. Repaired the bottom, pumps fine now. New problem arose. I took off the cover to the in-tank fuse to check it and found diesel fuel inside the cover. Why would diesel fuel be inside the cover...

    Front End Help

    The strangest thing happened while driving today. I was out and about, no issues. Had backed into several driveways to park visiting various places and to turn around. When leaving to park for the day I was driving down the street at low speed and the front end started pulling, first to the...
