    Seven Months to Mechanical Heaven

    I got a w/w deuce in OKC in July. Got it home on a trailer. No lights. Pintle hook driven in some four inches. No tach. No horn. Bent front fender. Large dent in cowl on driver side. With cranetruck's help the electrical came around in a few weeks. Hunting shorts has never been this...

    Have a Spare Bracket #10896327?

    This is the tach bracket at the front of the engine to keep the tach cable from rubbing against the compressor belt. I need one. How come it is always the weird small parts that cause the problem?:evil: Or, if you can give me the measurements I can build one this week.

    Broken bolts in blocks, winches etc.

    OK, I have three broken bolts in my winch housing. Two have some thread still above the housing line. One may have been spot welded at one point. How do I remove them?

    Mounting the Winch on the M135/211

    It is more difficult than it appears. There are two spacers for the rear. They are a tiiiiiiiiiight fit. I mean tiiiiiiiight. If you want to put one on the M135/211 contact me first. I know what NOT to do.:wink:

    cranetruck, Bjorn is absolutely the greatest electrical genius! I had a great 2008, picking up my second deuce in July, I had most of the electrical problems solved in about five week, with his wonderful help. Nothing serious, just many gremlins. But, did he make it seem simple. He knows his...

    Who Sells Tachometer Drives?

    OK, having gotten the cable out, I find the drive is not turning. Who sells tach drives for the multi-fuel engine? Also, the tach cable I bought, NOS, is about ten inches or so longer than the original. What have I bought?

    OK, I Can Take Bad News

    The tach cable does not turn. It must be replaced.:cry: I have found several postings on this but no one has indicated how much time and what the difficulties of replacing the entire cable and housing will entail. I am assuming it is a miserable time consuming chore. Well?

    M135/211 Front Shackes ?

    I am looking for a pair of front towing shackles for my M135. They appear to be different from M35/M34 front shackles. The parts manual indicates the front and rear towing shackles are the same. Does anyone have a pair of front or rear m135/211 tow shackles and pins they want to sell?

    Preserving Engine Life Expectancy

    I have been working on three deuces of late. Two of mine and one of a friend. Each time I changed the oil filters, it was easy. No oil in them at all, other than residue. That bothered me. Each time I changed the fuel filters, it was not so easy. Fooling with the NAPA 5070 gasket problem...
