If you're going to run duals flip the hubs back around. I'm sure you'll be way over legal width otherwise and yes it looks goofy the 9.00's singled out. I guess decide what tire you want to run and flip the hubs accordingly. I've got a deuce with 46's with the hubs flipped out and another on...
You can do it but it is harder on the bearings, puts more stress on them. But I'm guessing if your not worried about width you probably aren't driving on the road much if at all.
The boots will keep the grease in but that looks more like a liquid=gear oil so yes you need to replace the oil seal in the housing. When the boots get cracked or torn you will usually see chunks of grease coming out.
My son said he counted 50 total but that was counting all the ones that are almost completely parted out but still might have the frame and a rear axle and part of a cab. There are about 10 more complete rolling ones that just don't run and need some injection pump attention.
When I was selling a lot of Deuces the two biggest sales killers were "I need to get permission from my wife" or home owners association..to which I would reply "thanks for stopping"!
I used to think there was no such thing as too many deuces but now I'm starting to wonder...This past weekend my son and a couple buddies fired up all the running deuces and took this pic (with my Humvee and 5 ton as bookends). And these are just the running ones 😳. I think I've become a hoarder!
