    Tell Me About Torque Bars

    Can I just bring it to NY and let you do it? Please.:cry: I thought there were eight of them? How dumb am I? Fairly so, I think.

    Tell Me About Torque Bars

    OK, mine need the ends replaced. I think I can get new torque bars with the ends already installed. How much trouble is it to replace these? What is the easiest way, other than going to a garage and having it done, to do the job? Will I want to kill myself or my wife midway in the work?:roll:

    Changing the Starter Relay

    When I bought the second deuce in July, it had a few problems. The one that made me really crazy was the intermittent starting. Run it till it got hot and park. Shut it off. Then it kind of wanted to cool completely to start. Sometimes it would start hot if you held the starter button down...

    Chinese wheel bearings...

    I have to agree with Bjorn. Just like Japan, give them some time and it will be of the highest quality. Fortunately, as we have free trade with Pakistan, they will soon be making bearings also cheap. We need to go back to work here. Not buying is one thing, a boycott, but what really needs...

    Changing the Starter Relay

    I do not have my camera today. :oops: But, I only found a TM on removing the relay from the gasser motor. It is different from the multi-fuel. But, for those who follow after: 1) Remove the air cleaner assembly. This is a good time to paint it. 2) The relay is on a mount bolted to the...

    Upgrade brake switch vs old style switch

    cranetruck, Bjorn, has more information, useful information, than anyone else on planet Earth. And, he willingly shares it with us all. Thanks, again Bjorn. (I may have this phrase committed to memory for frequent posting.)

    M548 Value?

    This one is sitting in the open, no top, for some time. I put a value on it from $2500 to $7500 tops.

    Anyone have an idea on worth? I do not know if the engine works. It appears to be mostly complete.

    M66 Gun Ring Reinforcement Plates Are Here.

    It will help everyone to see a military install. I have seen several but I have been without a camera on each occasion.

    Deuce lockout hubs

    I used to be in the TV business, building them. It cost about $75 to make an RCA 23 inch cabinet model. It sold for several hundred dollars, like $600 or so as I recall. Building costs are not necessarily the costs of final sale and delivery. Ouverson and jatonka put their money on the line...

    oil filter gasket poblems still

    It is kind of funny to read those two snippets Bjorn. After forty years they do have a glimmer of future problems we now face. I wonder how many of the canisters now have defective edges? Interesting that this was noticed back so many years ago.

    windshield glass replacement

    Why not? You have rust elsewhere. At least that is my experience.

    windshield glass replacement

    When the frames are rotted, you need the entire thing. ODIron is as good a source as any.

    windshield glass replacement

    Or spend about $50 at the local glass company and $22 for a new gasket. That is my solution.
