One flat
I will back the inner nut off by one flat of the nut not one turn. Before I dissassembled it I took notice that there was one thread showing on the end of the axle. When I put it back together and tightened the nut so only one thread was showing, it was too tight. I backed off the...
chains
I am getting ready to buy some chains. What should you pay for a good set of chains? I found this link but someone always has a better deal, I guess I'm loking for it...

axle seal again
I finally got to the axle seals on my Deuce. Pretty easy job but for those of us with no great experience I thought I would post some pics. First two are just the nice spray pattern on the rim and inside the brake drum. Next is the sludge on the brake pads and you can see what...
Nice
Nice picture, is that mounted on a piece of plywood? I have a hard top Deuce and I am having a hard time deciding between behind the passenger seat or up on the back wall. I think I will toss a coin and just do it. Either way it will be most useful. I'm having a hard time locating the...
Far as getting around traffic goes, unfortunately my deuce is more of a lawn ornament these days than a daily driver....as I always say, next year! but seriously, after this year settles down a bit at school I will make more time for it.
If you need any help, give a shout. My girlfriend lives...
Fellow Virginian
Welcome Adamlee! Nice to see another Virginian here! Alexandria? I am in Stafford, don't dare drive my Deuce north of Woodbridge! You have any trouble getting around traffic up there?

MX-7777
AMEN! :)
On another note, I looked on the diagram concerning the MX-7777 and it looks as though all I need is a "bendix" connector for the 4720 power cable and a CX 1061 cable? I'm asking because the numbers are right on the edge of the diagram. I assume the CX 1061 goes from...
Important safety tip
Oh, yeah, if you use the C-10456 control box,make sure that you have the plug with the jumpers installed.
Bjorn
Thanks for adding that Bjorn. That is the plug on the bottom of the 10456 control box. I was fortunate that they were included with mine. I was reading about...

not legal?
...all three of my civilian vehicles have a switch or lever that lets you chose between outside air or recirculating the inside air regardless of the temp setting...?
Clark
Just got my package from Memphis Equipment today. By far the best looking stuff. This all looks new not NOS and the outer seal looks to be a better set up. Very good prices, fast shipping.

Just in case anyone is still dealing with axle leaks I thought I would post the pics of the parts I have received so far...
Southeast didn't have the cork separate so I ordered a gasket set (# from the Army manual) and this is what came in it. One differential gasket, two axle seals, two cork...
