:shock: Uhhh, wow, my wife would castrate me if she found me hoarding MV's without her knowledge :lol: Just kidding, but she would be :evil: I'd say you better buy her something nice or send her off on a nice spa day and then break it to her easy when she's real relaxed or drooling over...

OK David, post up. What's the scoop?

Thanks Jed, I had seen that post before, very helpful. API GL-1 : Non-additive lubricant oil for mid level service conditions spiral-bevel, spiral, chronic endless gear type differential and some plate gearboxes. It would seem that my differentials and t-case could fall under this...

RE: NAH, not a towbar Welcome to SS HeadWizzard. Nice to see another Virginian on here. Very cool Bob Deuce. It looks like a full-size Tonka truck. How does it run down the road? Are those 16x20 tires on there? You could go down a bit to the 14x20s and have a little more clearance. 52"...

Great, thanks guys. I'll grab a couple of pails and try it out.

Yeah, Bruce had told me that too Dave. I'll try that if un-caging the brakes doesn't shut it up. The park-brake light was blinking with the lever in the down position which makes me think it has to do with the brakes and not an air sensor. We'll see. Hopefully I'll have a chance to work on...

Hey, Have any of y'all used the Napa 90W GL1 gear oil in your diffs or t-case? I found a good price on some in the 5 gallon pail at my local store. It might be a little thick for a tranny in winter, but I would think it would be OK for diffs or t-case. Since I need 11 gallons of the stuff, I...

Good point about the rubber lines Jones. I forgot to mention that one.

Thanks Kenny. It will definitely make Aberdeen. That engine purs like a kitten, mmm. I might be able to find a spot in the bed for the winch ;) Lifting it up there will be the fun part! The one tire is FUBAR, but the spare is brand new and the other is prolly 80% so I should be good to go...

Update after 3/17/07 work-session: It was a heckofa day. My brother came up from NC to help me out again. He had stopped by John Winslow's for me and picked up some parts that came from another fella in NC. He brought the lower rad mount, a cherry fan shroud (rare) and a power steering...

Hey Mike, I used regular old DOT 3 synthetic in my 404. As Bjorn said, the shoe to drum adjustment is critical. I would jack each wheel off the ground and adjust each brake shoe until it touches the drum and back it off a bit. Give the wheel a spin and make sure they aren't dragging. Is his...

Sweet, so I guess you got it started to drive up on the low-boy? Is it home now?

RE: CUCV M1008 common parts with civilian Chevy or GMC picku I bought a Haynes 6.2L diesel repair manual when I got my first CUCV. You have to thumb through pages of 350 Olds diesel, 6.9/7.3L Ford diesel stuff to get to it, but it had everything I ever needed. The only thing it won't cover is...

Ah, gotcha, I have seen the drain pans before and those made sense, but a pallet all by itself did not. They should just get some of those absorbant diapers like they use in the oil and gas business. We used to put them under compressor engines to catch any drips. They also had some shaped...

Mark, I see your truck has a pallet attached the the front end. I don't remember seeing a MWO for that ;) It seems that those DRMO guys love to stick pallets under trucks. I have seen a bunch of photos on GL like that. Seriously, glad to know it's on its way home.

Great comebacks Dave! I'm going to use that one about the Trailblazer losing equity ;)

That is a sweet tractor. I crawled all over it at Winslow's the day Bruce picked it up. You may find some drool stains on it ;) Congrats on getting it home safe! Now, are you bringing it back to Aberdeen?!

Thanks Marc and welcome to the OD nut-house ;) Please note that we have our own video library if you have any more you want to share.

ROTFL :lol: Good one Chuck. I wonder what ever happened to that deuce in Cali. What other mods are you planning Tom? 52" michelins?

Hey, Tom's back! It's about dang time you came out of the barn to give us an update!! ;)
