    Advice for adjusting clutch

    Finally got it adjusted! Freed the pin up by using a very large screwdriver to relieve tension on the pin as mentioned above. Dailed in a good 1.5 inches of freeplay and everything is much better now. Guess I didnt realize how much it was slipping until I got it adjusted correctly and took...

    Advice for adjusting clutch

    Thanks, I will give that a try come daylight, weather permitting. I wanted to stop and research things before I went any further to make sure I wasnt missing something. The pedal feels like it has zero free play.

    Advice for adjusting clutch

    I understand the pin is not supposed to come all the way out. From reading the TM and looking at the linkage I was ujnder the impression the clevis has to come free from the remote control lever in order to be turned/adjusted. The pin is not coming out far enough to free the clevis from the...

    Advice for adjusting clutch

    I read the clutch adjustment procedure in TM9-2320-361-20 and have read several postings on here about adjusting the clutch linkage for the proper free-play. The reason I started looking into this is because my clutch lets out at the very top and resistance is felt the moment you push in on the...

    Emergency help with dead deuce

    Thanks guys, did some reading on the site while trying to come up with a game plan, there is quite a bit of room to pull start it. The batteries did have enough charge to run the in tank pump, and I cracked the drain not the bleeder(didnt think about the bleeder on top of the fuel housing.)...

    My first Deuce

    Yeah its bright, sticks out like a sore thumb. I actually had every intention of painting it, But believe it or not its starting to grow on me. It looks better in person than in the pictures. It seems to be a pretty solid truck under all the blue though.
