    Help with identifying PTO

    Thank you. Well, the person I bought it from appears knowledgeable and said it was a rear facing Deuce PTO. When I saw it, I was not so sure, and looking at pictures did not really help me.

    Help with identifying PTO

    I got what I think is a rear facing transfer case PTO for the deuce. It's a Chelsea/Parker. Can somebody identify/verify? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Armor armored headlight IR lens replacement

    The issue: You have a cool headlight but it has the dark IR glass lens. You do not really drive with IR goggles on, so the feature is useless. You want a clear light instead. This is the dual lamp version. See the dark IR lens on the left: (Picture not mine; thanks, interweb) The lens is...

    Resurrection of the thread resurrection (Maybe you should start a new thread?) Did you ever get started on the crane project?

    Oil spraying out exhaust

    There are 2 bolts and 2 studs on the exhaust manifold. The steel hardware, after many many cycles of getting really hot, oxydizes and rusts solid. Tricks to loosen include acetone/ATF mixture (soak and let sit), AeroKroil (soak and let sit) and anger management issues involving a torch or...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Ordered tintable Raptor Liner, their army green tint, and etching primer to do the cargo deck. I am not too concerned about exact colour match, I just don't want it black. I need to cut 18 4" holes into the drop sides and weld the cargo hook pockets in first.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    We have them on one of our fire trucks and they work just fine. They operate by using the slight pressure differential between the air system being full and when brakes are applied to open and expel water and junk. I had manual drains and they worked ok, but after the second time both cables...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Put the canvas winch cover on (Jatonka) and installed two automatic air tank drains (type DV-2).

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    1) Yes, camo works (you do see the truck, right?) 2) This is 5 of our fire station's rookies in the back. I took "Queen Lola" to the aftermath of a house fire to load dirty hose and equipment. Our rookies are not yet allowed on calls so they enjoyed the ride and actually being on a fire scene...

    M818 W/M348A2 MO to TX

    Glad to hear that the truck will continue to live! I do not hold insurance companies in high regard and it is nice when they give you what you paid for. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    M35a2 air compressor upgrades and air governor leaks?

    The governor is replaceable with NAPA #H284358 that is reported to work fine. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/TWRH284358 Before embarking on the compressor adventure, would it help to simply add an air tank or two? More volume, more buffer for run time, especially if you do not run high volume...

    Oh no! Sorry to hear about the aborted test flight and hard landing. Hopefully that is the only damage and a relatively quick fix. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Engine oil pan leak M35A2

    Lifting the front end on the frame and letting the axle hang might give you enough clearance to get the pan out. Safe working practices recommended. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
