During my time in the Army (1970-71) I drove a Deuce. I never saw a winch on a Deuce with a level wind. For that matter, I never saw a rear-mounted winch on a Deuce either.
For those veterans or active service members in GA, you can simply take a copy of your military license in when you take the written test for either a Class A/B or Class A /B CDL and you are exempted from taking the road test, as long as the military license covers the appropriate truck...
I have used a magnetic heater on mine by wedging a wood block under the heater, which presses the heater against the oil pan, so I don't need the magnet on the heater. However, I normally don't use the heatere for my MEP-003A. Even when very cold, if I heat the glow plugs properly, it starts...
I purchased a block heater for my Deuce. It didn't seem to make much difference - it always starts easy, but I believe it is easier on the engine if the oil is warmer. The high compression makes starting Deuces easy when it's cold, if everything is correct. Although I'm in Georgia, I'm in the...
Assuming the front end is not worn out, I would take it to a front end shop and get them to spin the wheels while on the vehicle. It could be a bent wheel, bad tire, etc. I had an old Chevy truck that did really bad, starting at about 30 MPH. It turned out to be a bad tire. Looking at the...
That tow bar will come in handy. If your truck runs, I would recommend driving it. If I remember correctly from another post, your truck isn't that far from you. The most important thing is the brakes if you drive it. Good luck.
I got one from Saturn Surplus. You could get them to ship one to an address enroute. If it was me, I'd just drive in the daytime if possible and have one delivered to your destination.
That much blow by is not normal, if it is indeed blow by. As others have stated, check for exhaust leak first. Is it really coming from the tube? If so, I think you should check the engine compression for bad rings or worse. You cannot run it into the intake manifold if you have a turbo...
I registered my Deuce, a 1969 Kaiser Jeep W/W in Georgia with the value I paid GL, which was $2500.00. I didn't have to pay sales tax when I picked it up. I just renewed my registration for 2011 last week. My Georgia tag fee is $25.00 and the taxes are $1.11 so I pay an annual total of $26.11...
I would not recommend having a Deuce insured for the minimum State-required amount. A Deuce is a VERY heavy truck and can do a lot of damage or easily total a very expensive car and injure people or worse. I insure mine for $100K/$300K bodily injury and $50K for property damage with State Farm...
I replaced my seals at NAPA also. It's best to take your old one with you as NAPA had an assortment of sizes available. NAPA only had black, but color coding might be a good thing.
