In the case of adapting to 10 lug hubs and wheels on the deuce axles, the limiting factor is the axles. The axle tubes are much smaller on the deuce than on the 5 ton. This also makes the point that the inside diameter of the cone bearing races used on the five ton axles are considerably larger...

I have had my bias tires balanced at a truck tire shop and it worked fine, using the lead rim clip weights. If the hop is on the rear, many times taking off the outer wheel and rotating it 180 degrees reference the original location will cure the problem. Regards Marti

My friend in the automatic trans shop that worked on the civilian and military versions of these transmissions, both repair and race builds, said that getting the valve body out of a car of the same vintage (Cadillac for one) that used the Hydramatic and changing it out with the military body...

Wow, what a ride! Hydraulic controls are nice, but the old manual ones would not do that to you. We routinely use the 18 ton trailer pictured behind our duece. It pulls it very well with no heating problems. We have the fuel turned up and use it wisely! We haul the 1155 Massey pictured, other...

RUN CLEAN DIESEL FUEL LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE! I have little sympathy for those who buy trouble. Marti

Take the inlet fuel line off the pump. Hold your finger over the inlet hole in the pump while someone cranks the motor to see if you feel a good vacuum there. If you do not, the pump has a valve problem. Do you have a filter before the pump? On older vehicles like this it is a good idea because...

Hello Chris If it were me, I would do one of two things. I am not sure of what kind of parts sources you have there, but here I would go to one of our automotive parts stores and buy straight radiator hose of the correct inside diameter, new. One of those kinds of stores here is NAPA. The...

The advice about the coil and condenser possibly breaking down is good. I think we are getting too far into it by getting too technical about this problem with pulling the head, valve timing etc. Your compression should run this old girl with no problems. I did not see a note about whether...

2,600 pounds total weight would be a good number to work with. Engine: 46" long, front pulley to back of bell housing; 39" tall; 24" center to center, across bell housing engine rear mount bolts Transmission: 22" long from back of engine bell housing to rear of drive flange Transmission drive...

We have had two, still have the second one. Tough trucks! They have that "meant to go there and do that" appearance. Just be sure to duck your head every time you get into and out of the cab. They could have had higher clearance there! Also keep your right elbow up when getting with it on the...

I liked the round bale joke--reminded me of an old guy that told me abut playing ball; they give you a round bat and a round ball and yell at you to get a square hit!! Regards Marti

Speaking of snow and dumps----I saw more snow than I likes this winter! Here are two ways I put it in a place it better suited me! Regards Marti

The old farm boy method to get water and fuel or oil in a barrel separated was to let it set in warm weather to settle and separate, then let it be exposed to freezing cold in the winter. After about a week of really cold freezing weather, open the barrel bung and pour off the fuel or oil. The...

I would never bash a B series Cummins and am not trying to do so, and if I had a deuce that needed a motor would definitely consider it (for lighter work) as it would be lighter, quieter, more economical, have more H.P., and have better road speed compared to a stock multi. Now, in the spirit of...

My father and I after alot of measurements got rid of his 1993 Dodge Cummins 350 4wd due to the fact that we could not readily get a multifuel to fit, we had built up the cummins in our own shop from the ground up to about 450 hp (ported head, injection work, turbo work,5" exhaust, 160 H.P...

Well, here we go again, look on the side of the motor (multifuel) and it will say "liscenced by MAN". This is the German company that developed this style combustion chamber (ball in piston, off center single or 2 hole stream NOT fog injector) this ball chamber looks and is about the same size...

Let's address a couple of things. First, there is a diesel engine in the "multifuel" trucks, it is just adapted by the injectors and a fuel density compensator in the injection pump to give it a multifuel capability. The trucks with "DIESEL ONLY" on the tank have the fuel density compensator...

The newer 1 1/2 ton trailer I have, I believe it is an M105A3, has rims on it that set the tires out so the inside of the bed has no fender wells. They put this offset wheel on the standard axle used on the M105A2 trailers that use the deuce wheel and rim, which offsets the tire inward, making...

Another thought; do you have free-play in the clutch pedal? There should be no resistance in the pedal for one and one half to two inches travel before you feel the resistance of the throw-out bearing touching the pressure plate fingers. If you have no free-travel, the throw-out bearing could be...

There was a test for clutch holding for Allis Chalmers tractors. It said to set the throttle at an RPM I do not remember, but it was considerably high, drop the clutch in high gear with the brakes held and time the interval taken to kill the motor. If the time was longer than specification, the...
