I did not plan on doming the head. When I drilled it out, the 5/16” bolt fit in real tight and I think after I put a self locking nut on it and snug it down, that will definitely keep it tight. I could also prick punch around the outsides to give it a “knurl” when I put it in. that would help...

thanks pat! my job title is manufacturing engineer. i never was good at the mechanical engineering part in school because i am not great at math.... like taking calc... that is just evil stuff. i have my industrial engineering degree. all the skills i am using here are not from school, it just...

what about oil pan clearance to the front axle?

Another project was taking the hood hinges from the A3 (same as my A2, but one on my A2 was bent) and making the hinges tighter. I thought there was a thread on here where somebody put small bushings in their hood hinges, but i could not find it. What I am going to do is grind the rivets and...

Last night I did not get a whole lot done. I bought a take-off fender a while back and last night I took it all apart. It had the headlight panel still mounted and the marker light, etc. still on. I got it all apart, used the DA sander to sand some of the stuff down and hand sanded the hard to...

and the others! :-D

thanks pat!... i definately could use your help with some things working on this truck. its not too bad though! :-D i got a lot more stuff done on the truck last night i got the dash panel in (not the panel that holds the gauges), i have the gauge panel all built up (as shown in the picture)...

last night was a night of painting. i panted hard to get areas of the frame on my deuce so when i get the cab on it looks better. I also painted some other things like windshield hinges, intake mushroom, dash, etc. I was really happy with how my hood turned out where i welded up the cracks. the...

wow lindy, that looks good too. it would be nice to have a trailer for mine. or i should just get a wrecker so i can put it in my M105 or in the back of my civy trailer. that makes more sence, right? :beer:

What is special about this Deuce Ring Mount Clamp? i see it has an extra spot to mount something. i never have seen this before.

that kit looks good. i have never seen a genset up close with one on it. i see them on GL all banged up all the time. I love my MEP-002.... maybe someday ill actually use it to capactiy instead of powering a drill or whatever. some nice flood lamps would be neat... humm... :)

here are the pictures of the cracks in the hood i fixed. also a picture how i measured my steering column tube to get my bearing preload the same as the original steering column tube.

i got the fuel return line from cook brothers truck parts in binghamton. i brought in a piece of my old return line (somewhat see through) that was on the truck and told them exactly what it was for. they had a roll of the same stuff for about $6. this new return line hose is a lot easier to see...

Yea Pat, definately making progress every night. I get out of work and head straight for home. Tonight i got the other PTO shift shaft seal changed and both PTO shift boots on. After that was done, about 5 minutes later the transmission was on the 3 point hitch boom behind our Ford 8N and...

last night was a productive night. the attached pictures are of the insert i used in the return lines (eaton part and part number shown on the bag). the other also shows the progress working on the return lines. the picture of the seal is the PTO shift shaft seal. it had a small leak before...

Tonight was a productive night. I was able to get the turbo back on and all the new return lines from the injectors made up. I after s couple cranks (no intank pump), it took right off and ran. Ill post some pictures of other stuff i did when i get to work tomorrow. Im exhausted. :)

You had to ask me after i got it all buttoned up! Haha... i didnt specifically look, but i didnt notice anything. I used a flat block and 120 grit sand paper to clean them up before i put them back on... all seemed good with them i guess.

When my dad and i were working on my trasmission on the bench, we took the throwout bearing out and packed it by hand almost like a wheel bearing. there was small gap around the bearing to pack grease, so we packed some in there and it spins nice. so it is possible to grease it... just have to...
