I've had so many other great SS members help me out that anything I can do is very small in comparison. I'm just glad I can be of some assistance and help pay it forward. If everyone was as generous with their time and knowledge as the people of this site are then the world would be a whole...
Something about "an idiot on a fool's errand" comes to mind. The only exposure I had to the deuces was the driving course at Ft Polk and about 40 miles worth of driving time when I was in the Guard and that was over 20 years ago.
Does the fuel density compensator have any hose coming out of...
I think he means "did it have any brake pedal pressure." That's one of those things I always know I need to do and always forget. If I get a chance to get back out there I'll check it.
Any idea on when you might want to grab it? I've got a 1009 in OKC and a 101 trailer in Little Rock that I...
I feel kind of stupid not knowing what things are but it's just to the right of the distributer and on the left side of the doohickey with the three bolts on top. There appear to be 2 outlets and the one on the bottom appears to be missing a hose.
They've gotten kind of sticky about letting folks work on vehicles in the yard. I think it came down from on high not to allow it any more (or maybe it was Sarge, Rory, and I making the lot guys miss lunch on his last recovery:-D).
The oil was fine other than needing changing (very, very...
Forgot the picture of the engine. I'm not sure if you can tell what's missing or not. It's pretty much bottom center of the photo. Hopefully someone a little more knowledgable of the deuce can ID it.
Okay, got out and looked over the truck (wound up with a flat on my 1009 while there). Batteries are deader than dead so couldn't start it. The lot guy was busy helping someone else and also there's no slave outlet. Appears that 5 or 6 of the tires are fairly new. Overhauled in '86. Everything...
There were actually 2. One had one arm broken and the other seriously bent and then there was one truck with only 1 arm broken. I'll go down tomorrow and look yours over for you and try to give you an idea as to what you might need.
Where are you coming from?
I'd be happy to help (just for lunch - no payment necessary). I don't know that much about the deuces but I know the yard guy. Which truck did you get? It wasn't one of the ones with the broken trailing arm was it?
