It can depend on how the pump motor is designed........ I've never taken one of those sealed fuel pump motors apart, but D.C. motors can suffer "stall burn". This is when there isn't enough voltage to turn the motor and it's load any more (as the batteries died), but the commutator gets...

I've seen two standard clutches for a deuce - one with 5 pads and a newer style with 6...... Never seen 4..... I also took apart a clutch that had a civi style 'full-round' clutch disk.... It was badly worn and the flywheel was blue from the heat and full of stress cracks. I suppose that could...

I'm pretty sure Dave Walker has 6.2 IPs as N.O.S. surplus......... He ships, no problem, and his prices have always been very fair. 760-244-8060 .....Worth a try...... Jon

Aw, that's too bad... I was rootin' for you to get a crane!

Fascinating... I actually didn't know that! :oops: I don't use pipe taps very often, I just looked at the laser engraving on the tap that said "use 7/16" drill" ......I drilled the hole, and drove that sucker through. I didn't have any problem and it made nice clean threads (drilled/tapped...

Yeah, it sure is... 'bout time I got that thing running, but I want to do it right. The carburetor needs rebuilding and the intake and exhaust manifolds have no gaskets, they blew/burned out long ago so there are bad vacuum leaks. I have new gaskets, and studs and nuts if needed (hopefully...

Very nice! You've made incredible progress on that truck... Congratulations! [thumbzup] Now I need to get to work on my V-18A/MTQ..... Jon

I finished installing the Turbocator gauge today, but didn't have time to drive the truck with it in yet.... Tomorrow! Yesterday, I painted the mounting bracket and the gauge bezel green to match the truck. Installation was a breeze... I drilled and tapped the exhaust manifold with the engine...

I like 'em there too, they're SAFE there! rofl I got a fuel pump today, N.O.S. with the primer handle on it. It was right in my neighborhood - Antelope Valley Equipment and Truck Parts! It was $100.... A little high maybe? But I don't feel ripped off by any means. I'm excited to be getting...

Thanks Kenny! ....but my mechanical pump isn't even hooked up, there's a cheezily installed electric pump. Electrics may be better, but I want this truck all original. I (unlike some around here, not mentioning any names :wink:) actually like the old gasser trucks. Thanks for the tip...

I'd like to find an original style new (old stock?) mechanical fuel pump for my gasser, especially one with the primer handle on top. Any ideas where to find one? I haven't called all the usual suppliers (Memphis, etc.) but was told they don't carry many gasser parts anymore. If I found an...

I am! ...so unfortunately will miss the parade.... I am driving my deuce up there, possibly convoying with 1 or 2 other deuces. Anyone else going is more than welcome to join me - safety in numbers, ya know... I have a towbar.... I'd love to meet any other SS members that are going. As it...

Will do, Bjorn... Thanks for the tip! I hope to install it tomorrow... I got both from http://www.powertown.com/Scripts/default.asp They were the cheapest place I found on the net. Their website shows everything "in stock", but when the package arrived, it had been drop-shipped directly...

The 25-26 of April is perfect for me - I'm on vacation that week! ...I'd like to make it to the Tehachapi event, too.... Jon

Cool deal! It's amazing to me that a good running, reliable diesel engine can be had for so little money. I'll be sad when the supply of good surplus dries up, as I suspect it eventually will... Jon

I need one M34 rim for my V-18..... Is that the same as an M211 or M135? Jon

Another thing, there are several different checks you can do to the IP yourself... One involves determining if the plunger in the hydraulic head is moving up and down. There's a little plug screwed into the top of the hydraulic head in the middle of the circle of injector pipes that radiate out...

Call Dave Walker at Walker Auto & Truck Wrecking here in Hesperia, about an hour from you... 760-244-8060 He's a great guy, and he's got a bunch of 'em right now... Pickups, ambulances, blazers... Jon

Looks like a merging of several previously used diesel engine designs... The first is the Fairbanks-Morse opposed piston engines, in which there were two pistons in each cylinder, the ports were arranged the same as this new OPOC engine and the pistons fired away from each other.... But there...

I wish that M1 was mine, but it belongs to a friend... he took those pics of his gun sitting on the step of my deuce. He told me who made it though, I think it was Singer Sewing Machine Co. He said it's rare and all original...:drool:
