    NSN's. How can I trace?

    I've got a nice soft top that I'd gladly trade for your hardtop!

    Compression Tester

    OK, finally found it at the top of page 6 of the M35 listing as M35 Tool, Cyl Compression Tester. Only problem is the pic is not too clear, so I'm not sure if it includes the adapter to plug into the injector nozzle hole. There is a square shaped chunk of metal in the center of the box but it...

    Who knows a knowledgeable Hercules Parts Counter Person?

    OK, here is the deal. This forum, and the Deuce forum, have had an untold number of rants about the dry start condition on the multifuel engine due to the lame, upside down cannister filters that the original designers decided to put on the engine. There have been many expensive, labor intensive...

    YES, There IS (maybe) a Deuce Spin On Oil Filter Adapter

    I think Ethan was asking not about the thread size of the oil cannister bolt itself (which is 1"x14 TPI), but the thread size of the adapter nut which actually screws into the oil filter housing base (part #11 in the picture). I don't have any idea of what the thread size is, but I have two...

    Anyone have a source for cheap Silicon Brake Fluid?

    OK, who had the source for cheap BFS? I remember seeing a thread where someone was buying it for $30/container (not sure but I think is was per gallon). Anyone sen it any cheaper? My master cylinder is leaking like crazy, I am ordering a new one, but 12+" of snow on the ground, temps ranging...

    Weight of LDT465???

    I bought two from GL in Columbus. GL listed the weight at 2569 lbs each. The guy who hauled them up here to me on a flatbed trailer behind a Dodge Dually Diesel said they weighed that much if not more, they really made his trailer squat down. The actual dimensions of my containers are 65" wide x...

    MV and parts dealers listings

    Here's another good one, Alfa Heaven http://www.alfaheaven.com/ We do need to make a sticky list or better yet put something in the TA or TM section!

    YES, There IS (maybe) a Deuce Spin On Oil Filter Adapter

    Good luck, those tractor engines and the spin on adapters are hard to find. I've emailed a bunch of tractor supply houses and even a Hercules distributor, the only response I got was from one place that wanted to sell me the whole filter housing and oil cooler assembly for $250. I guess we...

    Compression Tester

    Got a link to it? I couldn't find it on the Saturn site.

    Broadway Title question

    A lot of states will not accept a Broadway title. Try to find a SS member in GA. My understanding is that GA will (or at used to) title a vehicle with a bill of sale signed by Mickey Mouse. Once your surrogate gets a GA title for you it will be a piece of cake to re-title your deuce in MD. May...

    looking for a good strong motor for deuce

    I MAY be able to help you out, I have a couple of crate engines I bought from GL in Columbus. One is a 1983 White "C" turbo (without a rebuild plate) but I already sold the turbo, the other is a White N/A. I have a diesel compression test gauge set and cylinder leakdown tester on order. Once...

    WalMart Antifreeze

    Yes, there are different SCA packages - at least two that I am aware of, and they are NOT compatible. And the test strips are SPECIFIC to the SCA additive package, so make sure you get your SCA and test strips from the same source and they are compatible with each other!

    Pyrometers, options, mounts...

    A "C" turbo will be lucky to hit 8 PSI max boost. A "D" turbo might hit 10 PSI. Don't waste your money on a Deuce turbo gauge reading over 15 PSI unless you have a LDS turbo, even then I doubt they will get to or above 15 PSI. These turbos were designed to meet EPA exhaust smoke regulations, NOT...

    Wheel Bearing Almost a disaster

    I'd have to say your cups and cones are pretty well f***ed. Time for a whole new set.

    Tire comparison picture

    Yes, it would be nice to see where the 9:00-20 stacks up. The OD and width the various tires would help too, as a standard Deuce is pretty much limited to 46" diameter tires. I'd like to get the max width in a 46" diameter tire to run super singles.

    Wheel Bearing Almost a disaster

    If you did not have significant brake fluid contamination and your outer cup looked as it did in the pictures, you certainly need to replace both cups and both cones (races). They aren't going to last long as they are. The flat tire may have saved you from some really serious trouble!

    Biodiesel in the beginning

    Bjorn - Here are a few crazy ideas to bounce off you. There is a neat thread in the alt fuels section tittled "Crazy idea for filtering used oil", http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=7397&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0. As I understand the Biodiesel process...

    Crazy idea for filtering used oil.

    Here is a link to the Dieselcraft website. The have an oil centrifuge, model OC-20, which filters .93 GPM/55GPH for $289 delivered ($239 w/o mounting bracket). They claim to remove particles down to 0.1 micron, probably at the higher operating RPMs. I'd probably still use a prefilter of some...

    Wheel Bearing Almost a disaster

    I don't understand why the wheel mounting flange and lug nuts are covered with red slime. I COULD understand the companion flange gasket leaking and letting water into the outer bearing, mixing with the bearing grease and making a mess. Pics #1 and #2 make it appear as though some unsavory...
