I know they are. Age is a factor no doubt, but so is poor design. And I'm not saying there aren't any poor designs on the deuce, there certainly are. But the things that make life harder are poorly designed on the 939 series. These are my conclusions and opinions based on my everyday experience...

Nothing I haven't already said or that isn't posted about multiple times in other threads. Stuck brakes, crappy fuel systems that suck air every time you turn around, control box failures, electrical fires ( no fun), ctis problems, air dryer purge valves sticking open, charging system failures...

Looks like an old Briggs and Stratton. Maybe a five horse?

X2! Have fun with it!

Yes! With the 11.00r20 tires I mentioned earlier you will cruise at 48-50 mph at around 2200 rpm, which is much much easier on the engine than running it at redline (25-2650rpm). I personally never exceed 2300 rpm, even when pulling very heavy loads. Just drive the truck like yo want it to last...

A centrifuge will take metal particles out yes, but it will not remove dissolved heavy metals and carbon. If you are worried about engine lifespan, install some 11.00r20 tires and learn to be happy at 48-50 mph cruising speed. That will keep the engine together.

You are in about the same boat as far as simplicity goes with an old 12 valve or early 24 valve cummins, but I really don't think you need to worry about doing an engine swap yet. People talk a lot on here on how underpowered the multifuel engine is, but you really need to drive one yourself and...

That's so cool. I want an NBC system in my truck...

Oh no, I still do mean that the 939series are junk in my opinion. Getting a decent one is hit or miss. I have a field full of both of these trucks and it gets really old keeping all of the 5 tons running. I don't have any problem with the deuces. Every time you start the 5 tons up some of them...

Tim, could you post up some more specific information for us? I don't want to head that way blind or show up too late to the party.

No block off plate is needed. You will notice that the arm bolts onto a shaft that comes out of the backside of the topcover on the transmission. Simply unbolt it from the shaft and leave the shaft intact. Remove everything else ( don't remove the bearing cover on the back of the transmission of...

I won't argue that the 939 series trucks are more comfortable for long distance driving or for larger framed people, but I still stand by my statement. Nowhere near as many field repairs are possible on the 939 as a deuce. Two days ago I had a major transmission failure in my deuce. I took the...

I'm not far south of Ft. Polk.

Welcome aboard! Ready to buy a generator yet? I have a couple( hint hint)... grease...grease....

Not on my A2

936 is a good wrecker. I use mine for lots of both lifting and towing.

That linkage is in fact remnants from a sprag transfer case. Take it off and save it for someone that may need it or throw it away. If you don't want the transfer case pto I may be interested.

I'm sorry, but all maintenance schedules being equal, 939 series trucks are junk compared to the deuce.

Crap. Oh well, I have enough stuff on hold with you already anyway.

I want two.
