You could use what Spicer originally specified for that transmission: 50wt oil.

It is not sufficient to jack up one wheel and give it a spin. Under load, a marginal sprag will still slip (in my experience). While there may be a kit to convert a sprag to an "air engagement" the air shift transfer case being discussed does not have a sprag.

Get a copy of Tayloor's The Internal-combustion Engine in Theory and Practice. It details some of the changes necessary to run on gasoline (higher compression ratio and stronger components due to the higher maximum pressure and rate of pressure rise." Specifically, it states "The fact that...

Speaking of biofuels, the below is an important new development. http://www.ecnmag.com/Technology-Achieves-Breakthrough-Efficiency-for-Ethanol-Engines-020609.aspx

To be clear, I did a google search for diesel pistons, all of the ones that I found had the divot. So, it isn't just the old engines. My point was that the MAN may not have been the first to think of the divot. I disagree, it is certainly relevant IF that design feature is being credited as...

The sprag is in the transfer case. Keep in mind that the sprag clutch relies on friction to engage. This friction is also continually wearing out the sprag segments. After decades of use, it is not surprising that most are not working optimally. The forward direction is the one that is...

The cummins pistons that I have seen also have that "divot" in the middle. I looked through my late fifties/ early sixties motors book which is the same era as the multifuel and the early cummins have the divot, the detroit diesel has a divot, and the international diesel has a cup. It don't...

$50 to $75 for a sprag. IMHO. A couple hundred bucks should buy an air shift.

I don't know that this is true. In my experience, the voltage across the batteries has equalized with charging time. It is a bit of a misnomer, I think, if they don't discharge equally no amount or charging will make them "equal".

Unless you really like the waterproof ignition, you can drop in a civvy ignition from another 302 or even chevy six from that era.

If you can make money off of it, good for you... But I agree that it is a bit much to show an idea for a simple lock and then expect nobody to copy it.

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?

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...

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...

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.

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

Anybody know if motorcycles use 8" sealed beam headlights?

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