I went through one of my hubs and packed the bearings and replaced the seal, and today I replaced the front output seal on the transfer case. Then I backed into my roll up door on my shop again and bent it, and my rear bow corner on the driver side. May have torn the cargo tarp too, can't tell in the dark and rain.

Sounds like you had a fun night.
 
Tinkering around with these tonight. They were given to me by a friend. One has 'needs brushes' written on it and one says 'dead'. Never been inside of anything like this, but figured ****, what can I hurt. Do they still offer brushes for these? I'll have to get a single pin slave plug for my truck to use these.

G'day everyone,....


Sorry to hear about your door Jeepsinker,....
I hope you can just push it back into shape.

I just put new bolts in place of the ones those idiots who washed my Deuce either failed to put back or just lost.

Also moved the speedo cable back to its correct position where it enters the Cab as it was being crushed by the bell housing cover because it wasn't put back correctly.
Now it sits correctly in the indentation in that cover as it was meant to.

Pics coming.

You can still get brushes for those. Goldneagle knows where to get them. You don't have to change your slave plug, you just need the adapter.

Yup, what Jeepsinker said. You can get an adapter for the slave plug. Here are pictures of the one I carry on my truck.

I got my deuce inspected yesterday. It passed without any issues.
I only have a few things left to repair to make it 100% reliable. Well realistically 98%. Then I can start some of the upgrade projects and customizing that I've been dreaming about.

Well here are some pics of the new bolts I installed to replace the missing ones I have mentioned earlier.

Also I think I may have a small leak in the fuel line at the joint where it enters the secondary fuel filter and is running down the line and then droping onto the front PTO drive shaft, that's what your seeing with the wetness.

Tighten it up and see if it stops. It may, but it is probably time to replace all those old plastic lines anyway. One of those cracks or blows off and you'll be stranded for sure. I've seen them so brittle they break off when you move them to inspect them. All you need is some air brake line and crush collars. 1/4" for the returns between injectors, and 3/8" for the supply lines.

And get rid of that blasted flame heater and fuel density compensator before it costs you an engine! It doesn't get cold down there!

Finally got a chance to install new air tank drain valves this afternoon. The previous style was the 'screw type'.
I replaced both with the 'side tilt type' connected to four foot stainless cables attached behind the tool rack.

It's a huge improvement!

Darn your GOOD!
:not worthy:

How did you know it has the flame heater in it,...
You don't see the top of the engine in any of the pictures.

I like the look with the flame heater, it just looks neat.
Maybe I should just cap off the supply fuel line to it?

I can always bypass the FDC later, but I need to fix a flat tyre first (left rear inner rear).
I need to get a breaker bar for the wheel nut/stud tools.
That's the only thing stopping me just now.

Oh,.. and its all registered now!
