Walter,
If it just needs a 'brush' change, it's easy. You can do that yourself. Did it just quit? Or did it make odd noises and then quit?
When I took mine apart, one of the brushes wires had come out. As I had been given a new set of brushes, I installed them. Then I used JB Weld to put...
Gadget,
I had to change the brushes out in my Robo Impact wrench, so I pretty much disassembled it, just because that's who I am. Curious. It is geared, though I can't tell you what the gearing is. Though Advanced Dynamics is still in business and making the Robo Impact for the US military...
ah1955,
OK, I got four six lug budd wheels from RandlyLBarnes. HE got them from his tire vendor, who apparently is also the tire vendor for UPS. When they reach a certain mileage on the BROWN trucks you see delivering packages, they remove the outer rear dual wheel and replace it with a new...
I'll add yet another one.
I have pulled all of the 'descriptive' plates off of my truck. So you not only need to know how to start it, you need to know how to drive it, including which gears are where.
Every little thing we can do to make it harder for 'professional thieves' is a good idea...
Yup, that was exactly what I was doing. Until 'The Deuce Doctor' showed me HIS trick.
He basically was on his knees, picked the wheel up and put in on axle and balanced it on his thighs. BOOM, it went right on. I tried it and it works great.
Like I've said elsewhere, RandyLBarnes has more...
Kenneth,
We ARE talking about the Robo Impact used to remove the WHEEL portions from M1A1 Abrams tanks here. Trust me, there are NO lug nuts that this baby won't twist off. If it's that stuck, it MIGHT twist the stud off...
But I've looked up the torque value some time back and it was...
OK guys, if you are having this kind of trouble getting your nuts off, GET A ROBO IMPACT 3/4" drive that plugs into the Nato Slave recepticle. They show up on ebay every once and a while.
This driving over your tools is just too much. Drop a few bucks and be done with it. I have one and it...
Well, I will try and get The Deuce Doctor (RandyLBarnes) to give you folks some insight.
While I WILL ADMIT my wheels are 22.5 inch NORMAL wheels off of a UPS truck, I watched Randy take old tires off and put new tires on in less than twenty minutes. ON FOUR WHEELS/TIRES...
He had this odd...
If you want to use the current oil filter bases, then go to SATURN Surplus and get a full cannister set for $22 (plus s&h). That gives you the inner threaded 7/8th inch pipe. It is already threaded on the bottom for 14 TPI.
All you need to do is continue the threading up the tube until you...
OK, if you put a larger motor into your deuce, say like Trango who put a Cat in his and upped his horsepower, how much will that 'give' you with better mpg, overall upper speed, etc?
I know I asked this earlier but can't find the thread I posted it in. Not that anyone deleted it, I just can't...
nihmech,
WELCOME to our Big Green Iron Family.
I'll hit this one. SATURN SURPLUS. THey support our site and have almost everything you might want...

I'm not starting the old "did GL shill bid or not". Everyone here should realize that sometimes some people bid and NEVER plan to go through with the purchase. Then there is 'buyers remorse' - changing your mind AFTER you won something.
There is a 5 ton over on Ebay right now. It's on it's...
Rick,
Yah, I talked to him two or three months ago. I even posted it here. Unfortunately I got only one response. Which is why I bid on the four pumps on ebay.
If anyone buys from OC, it'll be $325 plus s&h.
As a side note, apparently this same pump is in the Bradley Fighting vehicle...
DR,
YOU CAN ONLY BRING HIM BACK IF YOU PROMISE TO GO 28 MPH!!!
M1,30-'06,
Welcome. There are LOTS of SS members near you. And they KNOW THEIR STUFF. Brent (DR) is always up for an adventure. Contact him and I'm SURE he can help. Again, welcome to the Big Green Iron Family.

No rush. I've got the other three in one of my parts boxes. I don't need them. I bought them strictly to use as parts fuel pumps if mine craps out. I've yet to acquire my 'second' fuel tank.
Yeah, we gotta get together. Maybe I'll just have to 'host' an MV party. You could drive up for...
ktm380,
If you are NOT satisfied overall with the results of your current fix, let me know. I bought four pumps off of ebay a while back. Three work, one does not.
You could have the one that doesn't work for free. You pay shipping. Or drive up from Pueblo, I'll buy lunch.
Of the three...
houdel, I don't need the 'inner' dual stud. I'm running singles that use the 1.5 inch lug nuts.
I can't remember what the Robo impact is rated at. But they use it to take the 'wheels' off of an M1A1 tank, so ya gotta figure it's stout. I paid $200 for mine. And I got an extra set of brushes...
