    Another LDT with Windows.

    This thing found it's way into the back of my pickup yesterday. Although toast, it should yield me many good parts including another dang "D" turbo. When am I going to get a break and find a "C" turbo in the trash. Sorry about the pics, the humidity got the best of the lense this morning going...

    Bjorn's Low air, signal buzzer

    I've got this really cool device (yet to install) for my truck, It somehow hooks up to the low air buzzer and utilizes the buzzer for multiple items. For example, when hooked up to the low air warning switch it pulses the buzzer rather than the constant blare. It also has 2 other inputs which...

    Mounted a Tire yesterday

    Man was it hot and humid. I was given a clean deuce rim without tire recently (thanks Walter). Yesterday I decided that I was going to play tire guy. Took one of the Berg tires from my Aberdeen 05 trip and tubed and flapped it and put it on the rim. The rings tend to dissagree with what you want...

    Cranetruck is Hardcore

    I was just looking at pics and ran across this one. Note the weather conditions, tire conditions, top conditions and windshield conditions. Bjorn, you're my hero man. I haven't been hardcore like that since the winter of 1980 when I had a 68 Corvette with no top. BTW, Corvettes are a trip to do...

    Transfer Case PTO

    Morning gang. I've got the PTO on the back of the old M756A2 transfer case. The truck was very rusty and subsequently some items on the PTO are rusted as well. The output shaft turns easily but the shift rod doesn't move. Liberal use of penetrating oil and some heat should rectify this. The gear...

    Deuce with Sun Visors?

    Anyone ever seen such a thing? Anyone seen the inside of an -A3? Do they have them. I have this brand new windshield frame for the wrecker and it has an extra set of tabs on the front, 2 per window. Attached is a pic of the one. Anyone?

    Dealer in Alabama

    Have any of you folks dealt with Ted's Trucks in Midland City Al? I've spent countless hours emailing back and forth with Ted over the years and he's a really nice guy. I got on the horn with him yesterday and bought 10 wheel cylinder rebuild kits from him. NAPA #45 were $11.95, special order +...

    Metallurgy Questions

    Are there any metallurgists in the house or did anyone stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night? On my crane truck hoist there is a roller that is supposed to apply pressure to the cable as it winds on the hoist. The roller is attached via 2 pieces of spring steel that for, lack of a better...

    Another word about TMs

    If any of you duece guys have a chance to buy the 1965 versions of the 209 series manuals, I'd buy it. Unlike the current 209 stuff on Logsa, these are the regular format meaning one -10, one -20 and one -35 manual. Yes, in this series the general and direct support manual is the -35. While the...

    Brake Inspections and Warnings

    In light of my recent brake failure and findings I wanted to post this as a sticky. Folks, do regular brake inspections on your deuce. Check that brake fluid as much as you do the oil, could save a life. WARNING, for all you guys with older deuces I've found a potential problem. My 1953 Stude...

    My appropriations committee has obtained an NOS fron harness for the M108A2. Now I'll be needing a rear as well. Saturn has them for $120 (ouch) and FLMV has one for $49.50 but its from a dump. Any other sources new or decent used? I will have to mod it a bit anyway.. Need to cut the trailer...
