Talking about "water holes" . I have a picture of me and my 1954 Chevy sunk down to the side window and me standing on the hood ! That was a fun day until that happened ! It took an old farmer and his dozer to get me out ! Oh to be young and dumb again ! Wisdom is fine, it's just that old age...

I stand by all the transmissions I repaired or rebuilt. As far as your continuing support of the military's use of engine oil I have nothing to say. You will never listen to reason or logic. I've supported all my statements with documentation before but you refuse to listen. Hydraulic oil will...

Yep, that's a young apprentice learning his trade. Fun memories !

Where did you find that window ? Also how big is it ? Thanks.

I agree. You will have a difficult time getting the oil out of the clutch plates. You can try and wean your transmission off the engine oil, but if it's working now then leave it alone. By the way I worked at Allison in Phoenix AZ. in the transmission department. So I guess that makes me an...

We are talking extended runs times here. If you have a 5KW generator but only use 2KW for a couple of hours it will not be a problem. If you run this for 10 hours you will start getting "wet stacking" . All the manuals say to run the generators as close to 80% or higher for best performance. If...

Wet stacking occurs because an engine which has a constant RPM (like a generator) runs at less then about 50% load for an extended time period. Since the engine injection system puts out the same amount of fuel into the cylinder at the given RPM if it is not run near capacity you will have...

I just get tired of replacing oil pans because the cheap fittings they weld in wear out. I used to go off-roading when I was much younger. In fact I 4X4ed before it became a "thing" ! We didn't have all the specialty shops making all these goodies for the trucks. You just took off your springs...

As a former Tanker myself I remember those cables ! I also remember the guy that got cut in half jump starting a M60A1rise passive. He stood in between the two Tanks while handling the jumper cable. When the Tank started the other driver tried to move away but accidently put the Tank in FORWARD...

Actually there are about a bazillion different style and types of rear window seals out there ! I went to every body shop, NAPA store and window replacement company between Woodinville and Bellevue ! No one could match the original. Some where pretty close but no dice ! So I finally got a rear...

Picture 1 is the return line and picture 2 is the inlet line.

I got the bulkhead fittings installed today. Now just waiting on the 90 degree fittings and hose. The last picture shows where I will be getting my water supply from.

My auxiliary heater doesn't pull any outside air. That's why I put that screen on it. I figured it would heat faster if it was just reheating the cab air. My original heater does pull outside air though.

Yeah I should have taken it outside !

I knew I should have carried that tow bar outside ! It is just so stinking heavy ! Though you guys didn't even see the really good stuff !

If you can get a Dana 135 for the rear and a Dana 70 for the front that should work OK.

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I'll give it a try here. Someone recently asked me if I towed a regular truck with my deuce and how did I do it. I said yes, and here is what I used. The first couple of pictures show the original tow bar I made to bring home my first...

Every time I replace a bolt or screw on my trucks or generators I go with stainless steel. I have a quite a collection of bolts, nuts, Nylock nuts and washers, and screws now. If I need just 2 bolts I buy a box of 100 . I know all the names of the guys at the bolt supply store and they all know...

You did a wonderful job on that restoration ! The whole display looks fantastic ! I just wish I could see it in person ! Also as a Chaplains assistant in the Marines that display brings back memories !

The problem is still the weight of that M135. Yes it is a gasser, but do you know how much those silly 6 cylinders weigh ? Also the frame is still the same as a M35 deuce along with that heavy "Dual Range Turbo Hydramatic" transmission. Remember that transmission is made from cast-iron not...
