What if you took the bolts on the front pulley all the way out and then took a piece of flat stock 1/4 X 1.5 inch steel and bolted it to the other side of the pulley in the hole where the bolts had been only bolted to the side where the threads are. Thus making a handle. You would use a bolt...

I am working on changing all the belts and hoses on the Deuce and replacing all the hose clamps with T-Bolt hose clamps. In the process of doing all this I have been trying to figure out the best way to deal with the compressor belt and the pulley. I was working through a post with some of the...

Thanks guys. I PM'd RDM about the special pulley wrench. Hope he has some left. I recall a post where someone had made this wrench. Also much appreciated on the hose change help. Now just have to get all the parts together. JR

I need just a little more info I think. Is the water rail the part pictured with the number 10951179 on it? and if so is that where the six gaskets go? Maybe under each of the connections to the head with the two bolts each. Can I make these gaskets with some gasket material or will I just...

Ummm... Man I love my deuce and I have great confidence in it. However, I don't know about putting all my worldly possessions in the back of a canvas covered unsecured truck that I know little about and hauling it across the country for a week. If there is a problem your stuff might all be...

Does anyone have a good idea how to change this hose. I am going to replace all my hose clamps with T-Bolt type clamps and plan to replace all my hoses and belts at the same time. As I was looking things over and getting measurements for the new T-Bolt hose clamps I saw this and said this is...

Clinto I tried to PM you but it kept blowing up. Maybe this will work. Here's some Pics. I didn't document the install but ist pretty basic. Just C Clamp the hitch to the frame and use a floor jack as a fulcrum and a 2X4 as a lever to press the drill with a 1/2" bit up through the hitch...

Good looking truck. Great buy! Only thing I see is the spot under the truck in the area below the tranny or t-case. Might just be an old spot from another vehicle. I bet it will start and take you home. I would take a couple of new batts basic hand tools and the parts cross refference...

RE: Re: RE: Steering Issue I have adjusted mine. Got it a little to tight the first time. You do want just a shade of play in the steering wheel. About 3/8" to 1/2" makes it nice so you aren't pulling on it all the time while driving and it also keeps the steering gear from being in a bind...

See this thread. Lots of good info. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=10734&highlight=

Well, I just skipped right to the end without reading the whole thread only to find out after my post that you worked things out with GL. Congratulations! I hope you find what you are looking for and when you do....... Go get your truck man!! It's not just a truck... It's an adventure!

Go get your truck man!!! $6,500 ain't so bad even if it does have 60K on it. However I doubt it does. Some knob probably took a speedo out of a parts truck which had been used in more than one truck already just to get the speedo working only to find out that the cable was stripped or the...

I really must start doing a spelling and grammar check before submitting

Mine make a noise sometimes too. Kind of a howling or moaning noise. It primarily happens when the pressure is up and I have been driving a while in stop and go traffic. It really freaked me out when it first started happening. No noise when I was stopping but then as I pull away they would...

The new Duralasts spin the motor better than my 6TL's EVER did. I'm very happy. And that doesn't happen very often....

Thanks guys. I didn't think I'd have a problem but felt I should check first.

Is there any reason why I shouldn't replace my 6TL's with normal 1000 Cranking amp Duralast batts? Biggest batts that Autozone had. My 6TL's are done. Thanks,

One other thing. If your parking break was causing the clanging noise it could be that the drum (AS YOU ALREADY SUSPECTED) is not tight on its flanges. if so then it could be wobblingand causing the vibration. The vibration may not become noticable until the shaft reaches a certian speed. I...

Check your flange connectors on both ends of the short drive shaft that is between the transmission and the t-case. Probably not a bad idea to take the shaft out out and check the input and output shaft nut tightness and shaft straightness. Turn by hand and make sure the shafts transmission and...
