    Halftrack Deuce

    Actually, there is no diameter difference as far as the transfer case is concerned. The tires are driving inside track and on the portion of the track touching the ground the inside and outside portions of the track are driving at the same rate. So as far as the tires are concerned, they are...

    Halftrack Deuce

    No, why bother with tracks on the rear. The front is still heavily loaded and has vastly higher ground pressure. So the rear end floats on snow, but the front is buried.

    And what about the front?

    1600s on a deuce with manual steering

    I am sure others will jump in, but I don't think the rear axles will fit 16's

    Melted Battery Terminal, any Options?...And new Seat Covers

    As stated, terminals can be recast. I got a battery from work which was a few days old, but being discarded because of a bad terminal. I machined a tapered mold out of aluminum and melted old wheel weights to fill it. Also, lead is subject to cold creep, so under tension, bolted joints will...

    Anybody Running 915,916,917,920 without the secondary air filter

    On the farm equipment I design, the inner filter is not a secondary filter, it is a safety filter. It is never to be cleaned, and only to be removed for replacement. Theory is that since the outer element is frequently being cleaned(<50hrs), it is more likely to fail. The safety filter...

    more power out of a m35a3 ??

    Is there any tongue weight on that trailer? Loaded that far to the rear looks squirrelly.

    Adding Brake Fluid to a M105A2

    I just removed the bed. Very easy to add fluid then.

    Gasoline with 10% Ethanol

    You are jumping to conclusions. The study referenced was dealing with fleets. They have done E-diesel tests with fleets. The EPA will not allow a blend unless they approve it.

    Start of my crane truck project

    Well, Finally returning to the oil filter adapter portion of this project. I have been juggling files between two computers trying to get this simple thing mocked up in CAD and I finally got it done. The image below is a cross-section showing the o-ring arrangement and the hollow center bolt...

    a question about caulking seams on a hmmwv....

    When I did my pickup restoration, I found they have auotbody seam sealer at the same places that sell automotive paint. Not sure what I would recommend to fill holes from equipment though.

    Gasoline with 10% Ethanol

    To the OP: I would not run E10 for longer periods, the lubricity is simply not there. No, you pay more for gasoline. You know, the stuff that can only be pumped out of the ground once. Corn can grow another crop next year. Ethanol is holding gas prices down by around $0.20 if I recall the...

    Here we go again with the H.O.A

    I don't think it says you can't have parked there. It says "commercial vehicles, etc" can only be parked in the driveway or garage, and if parked in the driveway, it can't be parked there more than 24 hrs at a time. You need to start driving it to work.

    Asbestos Remediation and the M820

    Shaving cream will suppress dust and does not dry as fast as water. It is used to drill holes through asbestos tiles.

    Safe to pull 12v from one battery of the four in M820?

    Just buy a converter or a battery equalizer, they are less than the price of a third battery.

    BFR Metals, Salina Kansas, a Goodie Hole

    Was there briefly on Saturday. Went in not thinking I needed anything and ended up with 100 lbs to ship home. Got an M105 landing leg for my crane trailer, some lights, a horn, and a cab brace for my soft top. I would have loved to get some of the jacks off of the M1061 flatbed trailers...

    Hydro-Pneumatic Bed Crane

    Agreed with all who stated this. However, I did not see a valve between the "air chamber" and hydraulic cylinder, so there is no way to lock it. The only valve is at the top of the air chamber. Josh, any idea of max lift? I'm estimating a 4" hydraulic cylinder. At 90psi, that's just shy of...
