What's your outside air temperature ? I did my test inside with a temperature of 70 F . I would be surprised if your's actually takes 9 hours to freeze solid though. Unless it is not performing properly. My initial temperature rose to -10 C after putting in the water bottles, from a temperature...

Well I just checked the water bottles and their all frozen solid. That's 2 gallons of water. So somewhere between 3 and 6 hours they froze. According to the internet most small freezers can freeze water solid in 6 hours and the standard freezer can do it in 3 to 4 hours. So this unit is right on...

That is one nice unit ! I wished they had such deals up here !

Almost any "modern" shop will have problems with this truck. You need to "vett" them first before giving them your business. At my friends shop he can do such work since he collects and works on 1950's cars and is familiar with old style braking systems. Try and find such a shop near you. They...

I was thinking about that also since I own several air cylinders that would handle this job. I just need to know if the basic concept is sound before I start cutting up my truck. I also own a tailgate lift pump system that would work, though it is 12 volts instead of 24 volt. I have all the...

It really sickens me to hear and see such hypocrisy going on. On one hand people will come up to you and say "thank you for your service" and in the next sentence breath say "your too military for my sensibilities" . Basically saying "We love you when your protecting us but go away after you...

Sarcasm doesn't suite you. As of this moment the water bottles have been in the freezer for 3 hours. I checked them and they are all "slushy ice" . In a few more hours I expect them all to be frozen solid.

Their basically the size of Motorcycle batteries.

As a "Federally Certified HVAC Technician" I can truthfully state that the "average" refrigerator/freezer's Compressor today uses only 25 watts. The rest of the power consumed is for all the little bells and whistles like lights and fans and sensors and on and on. Also "watts" is "Watts" no...

That is one "MEAN" looking trencher.

I'm sorry I forgot your question ! The main way I will be powering the freezer is with 24 volts DC when driving. At night I will be using the MEP-531 generator. When I need to stop for short rests or refueling the units "internal" batteries will keep it cold. The last time I checked the internal...

Actually no. Once it reaches it operating temperature of -23 Celsius it would freeze almost anything. It has a compressor almost as large as our 16 cubit Ft refrigerator. This is a serious unit guys. It weighs in at 148 Ibs. It's made to keep Blood cold or "Plasma" frozen in the Desert . Men's...

If anything the "critter" incidents have risen out here due to the encroachment on their habitat. Mostly just stupid deer walking down the center of the road. Though the mountain lions have started using the roads also. Probably following the deer.

Just received two pairs last week. Great quality items ! Will be replacing both of mine this summer.

There's quite a few Deuces and 5 tons out here.

Yes, the good old 6V92 .

I was referring to the smaller bearing used on the deuce hub. When you "flip" the hubs all the weight is now carried by this smaller bearing. Since the hubs are the same as the M105 trailer why can't we use the larger M105 bearing there ?

I was meaning to answer your question a while back but forgot. The holes in the lower door support bracket are there just for this purpose. In the Marines we used to "hose" down our deuces cab after playing in the mud. Just be careful to keep the water out of the dash. If you look closely at the...

I still use MEK for certain cleaning jobs. Jobs that require that "No" residue is left over from cleaning. Axles don't qualify for that kind of clean though.

Very probably. At the transit department we used to use "brake clean" spray to get the old Detroits to fire off in winter. Spray some on a rag and hold it by the air cleaner intake. They would fire right off, but later in the summer they would start to burn oil really bad. So we would have to...
