looks to me like something made it lock up and the belt did a burnout on the crank pulley. If it had new belts on it when you got it, maybe they were not installed correctly and failed on your trip. maybe one of the little knotches on your belt was over the timing pointer by the crank pulley and...

yes, pop off the valve covers and check the valve lash with a cold engine. All the information is in the TM's. I dont know what you need to do with the valves exactly because you should check the valve lash before you do anything so you have a good starting point. If you have a "tight valve"...

You said it will make it "full time front drive" are you saying it will be just like a deuce then? the term "Full time" with the transfer case in jeeps mean you can run it on hard road, but part time is where both outputs of the t-case are locked together (like the deuce). I think you mean the...

I just thought of this, dont know why i didnt think of it before. have you adjusted the valves? I checked mine and a couple were tight. If you dont have enough valve clearance, the engine will get hotter under load, valves get tighter and you could be losing compression causing it to quit...

With all these smoked motors, i need a different squirrel cage fan for mine. mine vibrates like crazy. must have gotten bent at one time. The motor itself feels really hot when it is running. i wonder if mine is on its way out.:cry:

I like the air pressure gauge in the A3's better than the A2's. Full sweep shows more precision than the half sweep.

Agreed. it never entered my mind to check if mine was flat. i just cleaned up both surfaces and put a little bit of sealer on it and it has been fine. i guess why i never thought about checking to see if it was flat is because it shouldnt see the conditions like a cylinder head would. if it was...

I put one on mine. The look takes getting used to, but the functionality of it is great. i was used to seeing my truck the conventional way, but now that im used to it, i like it. The air mushroom itself could be cut down to make it look better upclose, but i did not want to do that incase i...

my cylinder does not leak, but what kind of PM do ya'll recomend for this cylinder? i know if its not broke dont fix it, but who here really does that? haha! you think take the line off the cylinder and give it a good squirt of air tool oil (like the air pack)? seems like that couldnt hurt.

wow, that looks great. that is my goal someday to do to mine. the attention to detail is nice to see. i'd like to get everything serviced in mine, change brake hoses and pack bearings etc and paint mine up nice. i dont have a shop to work in (that the truck will fit in) but we all know working...

i used some sealant on mine when i changed it. yes you have to be mindful of the oil passage hole. in that area i used such little sealant you could hardly see it. i put a little little bit of sealant on by the oil hole and wiped it right back off almost with my finger. once you tighten things...

i missed last rally. things just didnt come together for me, wish they did. april is fine for me, just hope we get some rain to wash the roads off... i hate road salt with a passion! Like to get my wheel bearings packed before i go... been meaning to do that since i got it, but it dosnt fit in...

Seeing that the drain is obviously at the bottom of the oil filters and on the un filtered side of the filter, there usually some sludge in the bottom that plugs it up when you try to drain it. if you have a pit cock (if thats how they are spelled...you know... a valve) on the drain, i would try...

I have to change my steering box soon because the bushing is worn. when you loosen the front mounts and raise the engine, do you have to do anything with the radiator hoses or anything like that? seems like an inch isnt much except with maybe radiator hoses.

yes. you can get a rear output PTO for the transmission. This transmission rear PTO will only run in one direction also and is controled independantly of the front output. The PTO that was probably removed was the transfercase PTO which is able to run full engine horsepower, something you dont...

What kind of MV is it? Thats not a straight front axle under that is it?

I've used mine as/to: Haul mulch haul broken masonary rubble Run air tools and air guns to clean carbs on little scooters at the Syracuse Nationals Swimming Pool at the Syracuse Nationals Ladder to hang up christmas lights Pull my buddys out of the mud when they think they can get through it (i...

I dont know anything about militart flatheads, but i have never seen one that had all sealed connections on them like the early deuces had. the flathead i have has a vacuum connection on the distributer for the vacuum advance. i think they all had it on them. Mine also had a vacuum governer...

Even have the bridge numbers on it! NICE![thumbzup]
