Okay, looked through the manuals, this one's been on my mind for awhile as I'd like to place some circuit breakers in strategic locations. One place in particular is the slave port. Have a jumper cable (thanks JuanPrado for parts), generator - with TWO dead, toast, Optima yellow tops (it's...

All the more reason I’m fine sticking with my 6.2L NA and TH400 3-speed tranny, tooling along on side roads at 30-45mph mostly.

Thanks, Greg. I just bought one, but others might be in need. I just hate to use the old one as a paperweight if maybe $75 in parts and a little time can bring it back to useful life if not for me then for someone else.

Call me old school. I just hate not being able to fix stuff. When I was in high school back in ‘75, I rebuilt an English Ford Cortina transmission. Had spares, matched up parts I’d need, then found the most out of the way bearing shop (the only one, IIRC) in town, took like two hours to get...

Just a tip: Wasn't long after I bought my HMMWV that I took the wheels off to change the hub oil. As many others have noted, it felt like most of the lug nuts were torqued down by the heaviest motor pool sergeant in the Army standing on a four foot breaker bar. Fortunately, I have an air...

I'll chime in, too. Does anyone have a reliable, reasonable source for rebuild kits for the fan clutches? All I can find online are the liners/friction material. I have one that will need bearings, seals, if it can be resurrected at all. In hindsight, the $200 price from two years ago seems...

Congratulations, and welcome to the club. Enjoy. Norm

Welcome. Be sure and download all available manuals for your deuce, print ‚em out if you can. You‘ve come to the right place. Norm

It‘s an LED so it‘s polarized. you can use a very low voltage source like a AA cell and see which side is positive, then run wires accordingly, with or without packard connectors.

Just replaced a torn boot on my Yamaha Grizzly. Hadn't done anything like this since my VW bug driving days 30+ years ago. Three days later and there's STILL black staining around my fingernails. I wore gloves, too, but somehow got some of that moly grease into my right glove. It was a...

Weird, the Taurus wasn’t made until 1986. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Taurus You sure that’s the right model/year? Got an OEM part number? Thanks. Norm

The gound wire connects battery, engine, PCB (up top at head bolts), starter, frame IIRC, all wires come together to one larger lug bolted to the most convient place on the engine to do it, which is under the dog house.

DOH! I keep confusing the two. What RWH said. THAT box. Edit: wrong post. But there’s a whole lot of box/starter/glowplug posts.

Any smoke? White? smell like unburned diesel? Without knowing more specifics, I’m guessing it’s glowpugs. Highly unlikely they’d all die all at once. Circuit’s blown, not heating. Pull a cap off one, attach a VOM to it and ground and turn switch to position 1. You should read 24 volts...

Spooled the winch cable. Got a deal on a new one about a year ago. AOR (new member) offerred to help do this as it’s something he does often in his business. It was hot, fan clutch/sensors did their job, but the power steering pump started whining about halfway through so we stopped, popped...

Jon, you ever have any luck finding the kit/lining? I have one I’m thinking about rebuilding. There used to be a kit available. I’ve poked around here and online with the original mfr looking for a kit, haven’t called yet. I’ll need bearings AND seals to do it right, I think, maybe linings...

You got questions, we got answers. Look into the deuce forum, download ALL the relevant manuals, READ the manuals (esp. portions pertaining to your question) and ask away. Welcome to the madness. Norm

Neighbor of mine in Tennessee recently salvaged a hay harvester of some kind (I don’t know models/types) from where it had been abandoned in a field for about ten years. Had a tree growing up through part of it. He tinkered with the IP, cut down the sapling tree, turned the engine over by...

Thanks for this post. Not to hijack the thread, but I’m looking at options for fuel storage on my farm. 55 gal drums vs an upright 250-275 gallon heating fuel tank (stand taller but no deeper than the drum), bottom drain, gauge, more or less airtight too. Suggestions - advantages...

Finally warm enough I can work on the truck without my hands and knees screaming at me. Lotta drilling and fitting ‘cause it’s NOT an A2 frame - had to make some spacers - but it’s on there.
