    Deuce snow plow?

    A 9.00 is actually 40.5 Here is a pretty good link that explains military tire sizes pretty well. U.S. Army Pneumatic Tires of World War II

    Deuce snow plow?

    The numbers 9.00 and 11.00 are in reference to tire width, not height. The difference between the two around is only about 2 inches. All it means is that the front tires will turn 2 inches farther than the rears...the gearing is strong enough that it will force the extra 2 inches..... the front...

    Deuce snow plow?

    The larger tire on the front will mean that they are pulling farther per rotation than the rears.... which from a traction standpoint is a good thing. Most 4x4 farm tractors are geared so the fronts spin at a faster rate than the rears. Tire size causes problems when you go different sizes...

    Has the plow been used on the deuce already? If so what are you worried about?

    So what's this truck worth?

    My impression is the OP is not looking to buy, but rather looking to sell ;)

    Deuce coolant leak

    One of the trucks I just picked up from Frankfort as a pretty steady coolant leak dripping off of the back of the engine. I tried to follow it upwards but can see up far enough to see exactly where it is coming from and cannot see it from the top. It is running down the right side of the engine...

    Quick Start metered dose ether injection

    It got down to 17 this morning and my Quick Start would actuate so I tried the propane. It actually works....... I gave it 4 doses and each time I could hear the engine try and hit and on the 5th she fired up. I think if this thing could be adjusted to hold more propane per dose it would work a...

    Frankfort recovery today

    The address on the bill of sale is from GL in AZ....making it an out of state sale:wink:... It is different because it has to have the vin # on it, the invoice does not.

    Frankfort recovery today

    Unfortunately for those of us here in KY we still need the GL issued title, but the bill of sale gets us a temp tag until the title shows up.

    Frankfort recovery today

    No...just send an email with your vin # and request a bill of sale. They can fax it right to the town clerk and that is what Fayette county needed to issue the temp tags.

    Frankfort recovery today

    I ran into technical difficulty with Fayette county on the temp tag as well.... it was easily solved by requesting a bill of sale from gl on the trucks.

    Tm CDs idea

    I down load to a Jump Drive and then take it to Staples. They print and bind it for less than $50.00 and it will go with the truck when I sell it. (you can cheapen it up buy reducing all the un-needed pages)

    Quick Start metered dose ether injection

    Were does the new engine come in? No matter what system I am using as long as there is diesel in the fuel tank the engine is getting the same amount of lubrication as it gets every time it is started, with or without ether. Besides my walmart can says that it has a lubricant added to it, as...

    Quick Start metered dose ether injection

    I am not real good at math but my 1.97 can of walmart special ether is 11 oz, and the 30.00 quick start cylinder is advertised as being 18 oz:wink:

    Quick Start metered dose ether injection

    Well the propane cylinder fits the quick start valve, but unfortunately it is not cold enough here today to use the system..... Propane combusts at 500 deg F and ether is 550 deg. the only reason that i think it might not work is that the propane will be a gas and the ether a liquid. Napa is...

    Quick Start metered dose ether injection

    Who has this system on their deuce and where do you buy your replacement cylinders? I have looked at them online and 30.00 seems expensive for a can of ether. Anybody try using propane instead? The spontaneous combustion point of propane VS ether is only 50 deg difference.
