    Just incase your firing order plate was some how got put on wrong. You can see it says Fan so that faces the cooling fan and cylinder number two is right above the fuel inlet port. Also there is an arrow with name plate that points to the Ambac tag on the side of the Head.

    Thanks to all that voted. Yea wish it did not just sit in my back yard. I had plans for her but after waking up in the hospital everything seems to have stopped in my world thanks to the Gashole that ran the stop sign.

    How many Multifuels have been ruined because...

    Yea if your not worried about picking up road speed fast then the lower gears could be shifted at a lower rpm. Yes the HP and TQ meet there at 1850/1900 but if you want more road speed out of any gear the rpm must be carried higher. As someone said before the upper gears might need more rpm so...

    Axle shafts too tight in housing.

    Glad to help and there was only one other time I remember this happened. Funny I corrected my #7 post and took out asking about the shim washers as my thoughts were only looking at the seal retainer. You can see in the pic I already had the shim washers circled.

    Guess you have never been a victim of Police Brutality while alone.

    Axle shafts too tight in housing.

    Button on the bottom will lower the knuckle Assy. On top it will raise it to where it is supposed to be.

    Axle shafts too tight in housing.

    Did you install the button on top of the knuckle under the control arm. Look at the picture I posted before and I circled it. If you don't put the button spacer on top that can happen. It's the number R on the pic.

    M923A2 Starts only with Ether, and stalls when put into gear

    Axle shafts too tight in housing.

    Thanks G. If the seal retainer plate is the difference and looks like one of his is trashed then maybe just getting two new correct retainer plates?

    You removed it? Sorry I was not clear in the PM as you just needed to unplug the wires. Is it N/O or N/C.

    Axle shafts too tight in housing.

    If your axle data plate says Rockwell over Timken then it has or had the ball type. If the tag says Rockwell over Rockwell it had the U joint style axles installed. Can you washers be removed or are they welded on?

    Axle shafts too tight in housing.

    Thanks for the pic. Looks like your installing the axle seal the correct way but are you getting it bottomed out on the housing? Do believe you can switch out Timken axles for Spicer without any problems. Does your axle have a removable spacer. Looks like the Timken has two removable washer...

    Tools for working on the Deuce

    When I had my Airman 185 cfm compressor I would use my one inch. I had the big hose and fittings so I had more than enough air to push it. Now I trust my truck four way and a four foot aluminum cheater above anything else.

    12 volt towing box

    I stand with Greg on this one. I hate crimp connectors as they can allow corrosion to get in or they let you down at the worst moment. I solder every connector and if you want real protection on you wiring get marine wiring as the whole wire is tinned. Nice job on your converter box Greg aka...
