Deuce back axles

[barnetc1]

Hey guys. Got a question. I thought the back axles on a deuce were both live and all wheels pulled????? Is this correct. Reason i asked is just got the deuce stuck on some ice in the front yard, and only the back passenger side tires were turning. Do i have a problem. If this is correct is there a way to make all back tires live.

The back axles on a deuce do not have lockers in them to make both sides active at the same time. Yours is working properly.

for the most part none of them come with lockers or any traction device, as far as something wrong I would say no, the easier way to tell is to jack up the rear axles and spin one side and see if the other one spins the opposite direction, if the other side does not spin then pull the axles and see if one is broken and just put back in. If that is not the case then it could be spider gears etc. I would start by spinning the tires.

only the back passenger side tires were turning.

As in all 4 of the tires on the passenger side rear?, if so, yes this is correct for an "open" differential.

Looks like somebody didn't read enough of the GREAT information available here before creating this thread.
It's a good question, but the answer has been covered MANY times here.

Do you know if anyone sells Lockers for the rear ends?
Is it a upgrade or a complete replacement?

Do a search for air lockers and be ready to break out the wallet!

In defense of the person who is posing the question, the Steel Soldiers site is huge and the search function can be intimidating especially if you do not know the proper terms to describe what it is you are asking, or looking for. If you do not know what to search for, it is pretty hard to use..PERIOD.

That being said, I offer a belated welcome to the site and I am glad you have begun your personal journey into what is the wonderful world of military vehicle ownership.​

Detroit lockers and Ouverson lockers are available as well. Much cheaper than the air lockers.

You didnt quite answer FMJ's question specifically. Do BOTH rear axles spin at the same time? As in the forward rear axle and the rear rear axle?

Affirmative, both rear axles are locked together.

With the standard deuce axles, yes, one wheel of the intermediate axle and one wheel of the rear axle would turn. There would need to be a interaxle differential to have just one wheel on one axle turn.
