    they had the same description for that pod, on the opposite side of my trailer i could just make put the dual wheels and upper corner of a MEP but one wasn't on the auction list, will be snouting around when i go to pick it up

    scored a water buffalo at a city auction

    only looked at the pics on the site so hopefully its not a turd in person, should be under $700 by time all of the fees fall into place, they called it a 200 gallon diesel tank instead of a 400 gallon water tank but i figure for the price i cant get hurt too bad as it looks fairly unmolested, id...

    servicing deuce injectors

    smells like liquid cancer and works great on small engine carb's and is my go to for that, melts the crap off that even good carb cleaner doesn't get, haven't extensively used it on engine parts but it basically smells like just about any old machine/head and block shop and is likely related to...

    Bobbed or singled deuce with Detroit and icy roads feedback

    i could steer mine on the 9" ndt's with a locker in the front on the street but it would whip back straight pretty quick when you let go of the wheel, was nearly undriveable on 395s without hubs

    5 ton air lockers?

    ARB #RD145 for a deuce, $997 and some places free shipping is the nice price on 2.5s

    5 ton air lockers?

    the handy thing is 2.5 rockwells are popular in off roading so its a much deeper market then just deuces and deuce owners have a option besides a detroit or lunch box locker.the detroit in my front axle made it near impossible to drive on pavement with 395s before i installed locking hubs

    Adding Detroit Lockers???

    somewhere in my 109s life which if the cab is original to my frame started off as a gas auger truck, it acquired a detroit in the front diff and on ndt's it was manageable to steer but the wheel would would whip back straight at warp 9 once you were done turning, would pop a little but was...

    M109 and M35a2 differences

    my 109 is comfy at 60 on 395s, mayve touched 65 once on the back side of a overpass as you will have your foot welded to the floor climbing it and need to remember to back off at appropriate speed

    Torque rods kicking my butt

    3' hunk of 1/2" rebar and a 12# sledge provided enough transfer of force to pop my inners but none of mine were really difficult to get loose as a pickle fork made quick work with all but the inners, did mine on the ground with 395s on mraps and unflipped hubs

    Pinion brakes

    How good is a deuce really in the mud?

    dono if its informative but its interesting https://youtu.be/ZTz18-8NbCA at one point you can see the local branding on the side of the rf tire, seems peppy and doesn't quite sound right either

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    fired it up after a month or so and drove to napa to find out they didn't have enough of the supplies need to rebuild the blown drive motor hydraulic line on my bobcat, only sleeves and hose i have on hand are for ac lines and wouldn't expect them to hold 10 times the pressure on a bet, they had...

    How do I separate two piece wheels

    rubbed all of mine with silicone grease when i assembled then the first time with the used o-rings (i think 4 of my rims the first truck they were mounted on is mine but started off as typical surplussed assemblies), 5 outta 6 sealed and haven't needed any air in over a year where the 6th held...

    How do I separate two piece wheels

    when i had a bad o-ring i crowbarred the halves far enough apart to wedge in the high lift jack and jacked the face off

    M35A2 Deuce & 1/2, 2" Hitch Receiver Set Up

    they have the same frame width as the average 3/4-1 ton pick up so options are plentiful and specific units installed by others are easily found with a search, i have a beefy class 5 from a dodge to install when i find time

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    mine wasn't too hard to remove the fitting and install a plug with some teflon tape, did it from the top iirc, but being a carrier mechanic i am use to swiveling my meat hooks into bizarre and unnatural positions

    M35a2 in tank fuel pump

    the surplus parker with red on it aircraft pump is almost exactly the same unit, i think the price ranges in the 60-70 area when i got mine, the one i got i don't think it had ever touched fuel but was listed as used, yea the others are like 400, looks like they've gone up to 75 plus s/h, i...
