    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Dipstick, you know me already! :-) So far, winter is mild, a little snow, a little rain, generally just a bit below freezing. My theory is that every day without a foot of snow dropping from the sky is a win and makes real winter one day shorter. Let us know how it goes and good luck for the...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    FWIW, I asked my friend who is a whiz heavy equipment mechanic and he pointed at his Milwaukee battery powered grease gun and said that this thing pushes old grease out like crazy. He said if the Milwaukee with the FUEL battery can't move it, he knows he has to disassemble the joint and clean it...

    M35A2 goes "clunk clunk clunk" in Reverse

    You have the noise standing still when PUTTING it into reverse - that suggests clutch to me. If it went into reverse fine but then resisted backing up and/or clunked, I would say parking brake.

    Exciting Deuce Update!

    Good for you to get her running again! I know nothing, so take my suggestions with a grain of salt: 1) The sender on the block and the gauge need to be matched. There is a 60 psi set and a 120 psi set. Mixing sender/gauge causes bad readings. That is one thing to check. Otherwise, if there is...

    M35A2 goes "clunk clunk clunk" in Reverse

    Adjusting clutch pedal free play as per the TM? If it only made a clunking noise when backing up, I would have suspected the parking brake assembly/moustache spring.

    Ah, they are busy taking turns whipping the assistant seal installer. They'll get back to you after.

    NEED FUEL TANK

    Your best option is an aluminium fuel tank from the M35A3. The steel fuel tank can be cleaned and cut/patch welded; from what you are describing, you would be better off with a good used takeoff. I have an intact one you can have for free but with the cost of the ride you'd be still better off...

    Strange noise on m35a2

    Check on YouTube for Deuce starting videos...you can hear the low air buzzer there and compare! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Gasser Deuce top speed?

    She is a beauty! The blue suits her. The pics totally sidetracked me. What are we talking about? Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Installing an M35A3 aluminum fuel tank on an M35A2

    Easy switch over. Did it a couple years ago. No regrets. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    guesses on handling characteristics in ice, snow, normal alaska road conditions...

    Wow, that sounds unpleasant. A few thoughts. When you switched to the big radials, did you correct the front toe in and camber as recommended? Many members reported that this makes for a much more stable front end. The speed sounds awfully low, especially with the tall rubber. Did the transfer...

    11 gallons of oil?

    Read a few threads...its 3 o rings for the shutoff and hydraulic head. And delete flame heater.... I agree with Frank but would do the above before I run the truck with new oil. You do not want $100 worth of oil get diluted again. That way, at least you addressed the most likely causes. If it...

    11 gallons of oil?

    Search for Deuce making oil. Likely culprits include the flame heater for cold starting and the injection pump hydraulic head o-rings. The diesel fuel thins out the motor oil, causes seals to leak and drastically reduces the lubricity of the oil. Damage will follow. Sent from my SM-G950W...

    Canadian MLVW wheels

    They will "fit", they will also look odd (small diameter tires on relatively wide wheels) and I would not waste my time with 9.00-20 on rims as nice as these. At the very least, get some takeoff 11.00R20 or 12.00R20, maybe from someone that upgraded to super singles/MRAP tires. Al least you...

    Questions after crawling under it.

    The steering column looks like the Spicer part that Waterloo supplied with his power steering setup. In that case, the box is where the horn wire comes out. It should connect to the single wire running to the horn air solenoid. You can replace the horn button on the steering wheel with the new...

    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    I...HATE...LEAVES...!!! On the grass I mulch them with the little tractor, but around the house I have to rake the b@stards. And usually the wind picks up when I rake. Go figure. At least I am down to filling some 20 lawn bags, from 70 or so at the last go around. Things are improving.

    Please identify this engine part

    Congratulations, you found the pump for the flame heater. Unless you regularly start the truck well below freezing temperatures, you do not need it. Search for flame heater removal. Basically, plug its fuel lines at the injection pump and remove the whole kit. It is a good system when it...

    M35A2 Air Compressor Bottom Seal

    Has been a while but I think I just angled it. In a w/w truck the rad has less room to tilt forward than in a wo/w. I don't remember details so it probably worked. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk
