Are you going to offer it a home, and the love and care it deserves? I would "if only I lived closer".....................

!stDeuce, Great, simple idea! Any guess as to how much fluid it uses? Fluid Per Mile?:-D Just curious, as I have NO idea.

IMHO it won't work without pressure to force the oil through the filters. Especially the 1 micron! Well, with thinning you might get a gallon a day at first.

IMA944T - ATV's with TWENTY THOUSAND miles on them!?!?!?

Thanks a lot speddmon! I'll order one for installation when it's warmer outside. Probably don't need "low" speed when it's 2 below.

Got the NAPA hose badgmc56 suggested. Two of them at about $11 each did the trick, with a little help. On the driver's side, I put a 3" sheet metal elbow on the defroster connection to make up for that hose being a little short. I disconnected the tach & speedo cables & pulled the cluster out to...

Okay, I got a chance to pull the Deuce inside & work on it. Sure enough, 60# gauge & 120# sending unit. I'm guessing that could explain the low readings I've been getting? Is that what others have found? Warmed up, I get about 10 at idle & 25 at 2000 RPM. My other Deuce will show 25 at idle & 45...

One of my trucks is showing low oil pressure. Don't know why. I know some of you have changed to a mechanical oil pressure gauge. Is there a mechanical gauge that fits the panel alright? What will I need to connect to the engine? I'm not at home, so I can't look at the truck, but I'd like to...

I removed the seatback with it's thick cushion, & replaced it with a piece of plywood & 1" padding. Works very well.

Someone once mentioned a source for the defroster hose for a Deuce. I can't find the info. NAPA doesn't handle it. Any known sources? Thanks, Eric

TM, I just installed a heater under the dash in one of my Deuces. (Well actually, I still have to get & install the defroster hose & hook up the electric.) It's not an easy job, but not that bad either. The toughest part was removing the pipe plugs. I highly recommend you have an 8-point socket...

Fastruck, I've had the same problem with the hand throttle on my M813. If I try to bring the speed up a little, it will slowly climb way up to wide open. PITA. SCSG-G4, Are the rings typically that loose, or would that only happen in a really worn engine?

How can fuel in the oil cause a runaway? Especially on a non'turbo.

If you really want to flush the system, use denatured alcohol.

When you eat maggots you find they're a little slimy, so I guess they will help with lubrication.... Doubt they'll increase mileage though.

Remember guys, the Deuce cold start systems are NOTHING like the Cummins system. The Cummins in the M813A1 uses a manual pump & a glow plug instead of an electric pump & a spark ignitor.

My M813A1 has a block heater. On the rare occasion that I know a day ahead that I'll need it, I plug it in. Starts right up, down to 20 degrees. If colder, I use a shot of ether in the air cleaner. With no advance warning, I just use a little ether. Very little required. I don't know whether...

Both of my Deuces start just fine in cold weather. No need for manifold heater or anything. My M813 will NOT start without a shot of ether whenever it's below 45 degrees. Cranks fast but won't start. I don't know whether the glow plug is working. Ether is quick. My Case diesel farm tractor...

Marti, M543A2 here on SS once mentioned adding a chain sprocket to his standard PTO to run a pump. I would think that would be a simple solution.

I think a winch easily adds $1,000 or more to the truck's value. And once you've used it, and gone to all the trouble of trying to get the cable wound back on nice & neat, you'll drive more carefully!
