clean all connections. check the water in the batteries (if you can). also spray some kind of penetrating oil on all connections after you clean them. it will help keep a better connection in the future

I havent tried much on my deuce because things are sealed so much.... but sometimes you can take a switch apart and clean up contacts etc, and it will work just fine. I had a starter switch on my truck go bad and i just got another one. I looked at my starter switch on my truck and it looks...

using a paddle? the starter switch on my deuce feels like a momentary also. were there different styles of starter switches in the deuce? i know there were different locations for them. now that i heard a 5 ton starter switch in this post it gets me thinking. i like those style switches. are...

I flew my flag! and put a couple miles around town :beer:

Do you know what grade bolt was in there for a shear pin? I broke my alm. shear pin yesterday and now im doing all the research to find out what to put back in. i have a grade 2 bolt in it now just so i could winch the cable back in and head home.

Longest trip was driving it to the Syracuse Nationals car show and it was about 60 miles. then maybe a bunch of other 20 mile trips. mostly around town and driving 12 miles to work.

I feel i have reached a milestone with the Deuce. On my way home from work yesterday. I brought my first Deuce home on my birthday (April 11th) and the odometer turned 30,868 miles. That means i put 3000 miles on the truck since April! :-) It seems like i've been everywhere and done so much with...

Wouldnt having the center of the wheels farther out from the kingpins make the bushings wear faster? expecially on a winch truck? anybody have any experience with this? i just grease mine about every 500 miles just because it makes me feel good to know they have plenty or grease.

Seems like a half track would work good for a recovery vehicle in sand. i havent had any experience driving my deuce in sand, but just thinking it would be. I know the thread was covered before, but a deuce half track would be sweet! Like a set of tracks that could be installed in the field over...

i have mine insured with state farm. i just told them it was a 1972 AM General, model M35A2. I think i pay $240ish every 6 months. then i have commercial plates and thats about $240ish also... but i only have it registered to haul 3000lbs in the back... usually i run empty anyway. on occasion i...

This picture is the deuce next to my 2000 Cherokee with a 6.5' Western Plow.... sure makes it look small! The other pic is just a line up of all my other toys

I know the data plate on the dash says to air the tires down to 15PSI for mud and sand....i guess thats where i would start. obviously make sure you can air them back up for the trip home. Its so nice having air on the truck to do stuff like that :D

I hear ya on the adjustment. I adjusted my brakes just because i thought they "should be better" and the brakes were great! the only problem i had was my brakes were getting hot and it was lugging the truck down.... i bought my truck in mid april and when i adjusted the brakes, the wheel...

Looks very nice! I was thinking about the same kind of set up, and i like how you made it so no modifications are necessary... good approach. How did you find the measurments for the holes? just a rough measurement? It looks real precise. I was going to swap out my 6TL batterys soon for some...

Well i checked out the ring gear when i had the starter out and it all looked good. the starter drive was whooped. new starter drive and new starter solenoid and it looks good. the guy that rebuilt it is a real old guy that really knows his stuff, so i trust him there, but there is still a...

So i have been doing some thinking about building some kind of setup to go under the passanger seat in my M35A2 to filter WMO and dump it straight into the tank. here is my thoughts. get a 1/4hp 24VDC motor and belt that to a power steering pump. i would get the power steering pump from the...

I agree... oil pumps dont work backwards...and how long did they run backwards and the bearings were still ok? Then i read other threads about spin on oil filter conversions and building oil pressure fast. thats good and all, but has anybody ever damaged their engine by having it run backwards...

just to let you know, i just put the picture of your wrecker as my new desktop wallpaper at work....i like it! :beer:

yea, i wouldnt think the cab would shift either, but i was just brain storming. even if it did, it shouldnt matter that much because the linkage would move some and the throttle pedal would move up and down a little. Tractorpuller, what did you do to the throttle speed stop plate that fixed...
