Im working on a onboard used oil filtration set up. it works good but i need to get my 24 volt motor in there instead of the 115VAC drill chuck to run the pump. I need to filter the oil down to to make it nicer....going to 5 micron soon. Saves me lots of money and thats always a good mod. I also...

I was going to post something earlier but after thinking about it i thought maybe a grease fitting was behind the cross member. I look and there is not. there is not one grease fitting at all on my pintle hook. I thought for sure there would be one on the shank of the pintle hook (the part that...

My 1972 AM General M35A2 does not have grease fittings for the pintle hook. I looked in the TM and see that there are supposed to have grease fittings. I also heard the later Deuces did not have grease fittings on the pintle hooks. What is the reason for this if it is true? As many grease...

So the propane does not ignite with the flame heater (use propane instead of fuel from the fuel tank), correct? it just sprays propane in the cylinders instead of either? that seems safer than either, right? i know starting a diesel with either is a very risky thing if not metered correctly.

It looks very nice! Seems like a big trailer for a deuce though. What kind of trailers was the deuce made to pull? i know its a vague question, but it would be nice to have an equipment trailer. I believe the M1061's were 12 or 14 foot long. Would a M1061 be the best suited trailer for a deuce?

about the heater valve, i bought mine from napa to adjust the heat. It works great. its cable operated, 5/8" x 5/8". I mounted my heater core inside and the cable that went to the damper now goes to my heater valve. I wish i had the part number, but it also fit Fords and International Scouts. I...

it would be neat if the radiator had shutters that we could open and close. I saw a Studebaker 96BBC tractor that had shutters. i also believed they opened up when it got up to temperature. the engine was a 4-53 Detroit.

you can spray them with penetrating oil, but i dont think they would break off. i'd use a pair of pliers and SLOWLY try to open then and look to see if the threads turn. turning them slow will allow you to get a better feel if they were going to break off. plus the threads would be soaking in...

jason, what was your shake like? My engine has a resonance that seems to fade in and out...more when its colder. there was a thread on here talking about it and nobody knows what it is. they describedit was "oscelating". wish i knew what it was because its almost anoying. another theroy to the...

Bill, very nice looking engine! where are all the oil leaks? oil leaks give a truck pitina! haha! MV Man, I think we have the same shut offs for our heaters. when mine is open, there is about a inch of threads sticking out from the valve. i do not see that on yours right now. was that an...

I wanted to go really bad. I didnt have a co-pilot and i wanted to do more work on my truck before i left... it was getting late friday night and so much more to do to get ready....so sad :(

i just put a heater in my deuce about 2 weeks ago, but i shortened my fender mounted heater and put it under the dash, about how the M35A3 are set up and it works great...it'll about sweat me out of the cab with a t-shirt on. i flushed my core out with a hose before i put it on and it seemed...

I plan on leaving binghamton here at 6:30am and getting down there who knows when... maybe 10:00? not sure if im staying sunday or not. At least i got the heater in the truck and that works great! What kind of things are for sale down there? is there a swap meet or just things everybody brings...

My truck seems to "hunt" sometimes at idle speed....it'll rev up and down so very slightly, i dont even think i can see it in the tachometer. I heard high compression diesels like ours have a habbit of doing that.... not sure. it didnt always do that though, so im not sure. Anyway, you may want...

would dirty injectors have anything to do with it? how many miles are on the truck? maybe running various fuels has some crud built up on the injectors? Maybe try measuring the temperature of each cylinder somehow to see if there is much of a difference...possibly at an injector? Does your truck...

So what you are saying is its almost supposed to slide inside something else and this "split" has made the OD of the ring bigger and not allowing it to slide in as easy? is this a common problem? i have 90W GL-1 in the transmission now and its a big improvment over the 80w-90

nice pull! truck looks great! i pulled with my deuce and made it 239 feet i believe...had it in low second which was a mistake. i had all the traction in the world but ran out of engine horsepower around 230 feet...next year ill use 1st low :beer:

My transmission is hard shifting in 2nd usually. you have to get it just right and it will go in. I hade forcing it, so i just try to do my best at not forcing it and not slipping the clutch. I think i need to just swap trasmissions but it wont happen this year. i know my synchros are not...

All, I have never been to an MV Rally. My dad and i may be going. we would be leaving saturday morning. What do i need to do to Sign up or whatever. just show up? I'd bring all my stuff to camp if we stay the night. I would be driving my M35A2 W/W allthough i would rather not take it through...

Also, how about a video of a 5 Ton with Jake Brakes.... i havent heard one of those yet...anybody want to add a video of that too? I'd love a 5 Ton with a turbo and Jake Brakes:drool:
