I don't live in a subdivision. No deed restrictions. They are actual ordinances (laws for this town) passed as my neighbor finds things she does not like, and makes the laws to fit her vision of the world. It's pretty scary! Bill

Could the diesel engine from a MEP-006A or MEP-015A be used in a deuce? It is a pretty large, counter clockwise rotation engine, under 2000lbs with about 165 HP. I think they run at 1800 RPM in the generator. It might even give the deuce a little more speed. The big question is, would the bell...

I actually had several quotes for Quonset buildings for my garage then found out that "accessory structures" have to be of "similar construction styles" That is why I ended up building a pole building sided to match the house for my truck collection. The garage was done, and had passed all...

I'm not sure? I keep a very neat place. I guess it is just to dare to be different. We purcased a wreck of a house that was infested with roaches and I gutted and rebuilt the entire thing. It took three years of my life. (and $3000 in permits) It's now nicer than most houses in town. I'll...

Next was: "No storage of firewood outside." (I had a face cord of wood for the fire place neatly stacked between my house and garage.) Turns out I was the only person in the entire town that had any firewood. We looked. "No accessory structures over 17 ft tall". (my garage/pole barn is 24...

I tried the PR concept and have taken one of my M35's in the 4th of July parade in town every year for the past 8 years. Sometimes I carry veterans, sometimes the boy scouts, and sometimes the local softball team. I also keep all my trucks inside my garage. But my next door neighbor is on...

I could use a full set for my Bobbed deuce and I have a friend rebuilding several trucks that is looking for entire sets for all the trucks he is working on. Bill Michigan P.S. If You don't hear from me for the next few days, I will be in surgery tomorrow and out of comision for a few days.

We use State Farm, My wife tried to switch our insurance to Farmers but when they found out a truck weighed more than 10,000lbs they cancelled the policy. Bill

Tacticaldoc" saw mine (still just clamped onder the back of my truck). He really liked it, and ordered the same one too. It arrived last week and I helped him install it on his truck. Maybe he will post a couple of photos. Bill

I thought the LDS engine also had piston skirt lubricators. Bill

O, I forgot, there is a tach cable to unscrew too. And you can do it yourself. I have swapped three engines and a couple of transfer cases alone. The transfer case is easy. Bill

drain the transfer case Take the cab top off the truck remove the passenger seat remove the floor cover over the transfer case disconnect the three drive shafts disconnect the air lock air line/or sprag linkage. put a piece of metal or strong wood beam across the top of the cab Hang a small...

my LDS in the crate weighed 3850lbs Bill

It is easy to drop the transfer case, Pull the covers that are above it and lower it with a chain fall. The truck is tall enough that if on concrete you can slide it out from under the truck after it is laying on the ground. It will be one of the upper bearings. They are not always adequately...

No, THe green part on that photo is the dust sheild, Which is over the part I described. I'll attach some photos that show the parts better. Bill

That is the cage that keeps the balls in a ball bearing seperated. You will find one of the ball bearings will fail soon. This condition of having the balls free to move against each other sometimes makes a rattling sound or a sound like loud rain as the balls clack against each other. Bill...

A couple more photos. Bill

Here are some photos. Finally! Bill

Hi Guys, I managed to get the thing hoisted up under the back of my "bobb" truck and c-clamped it in place approx. where it will go. This should be enough to see how it will look when installed. I probably won't be up to drilling all those holes for another month or so. I took lots of...

Hi Bob, I'm dealing with a health issue, so was slowed down on the install. Surgery is scheduled on the 26th, hopefully I will be back in commision soon. Bill
