    Westfolk's Steel Oil Spin On Adapters

    The Duece has a 15 psi check valve internal to the engine. If you have inadequate flow capacity causing more than 15 PSI pressure drop at the filter, it will bypass via the internal check valve. Peak flow occurs at peak RPM. Do you know what your pressure is at peak RPM and different...

    Why brag about such mechanical suffering?

    Data Plates Arrived

    No, they said they couldn't. I have stamps I can use, but struggle to get them all straight(practiced on some scrap). I am talking to trophy businesses in my area to see if they can stamp.

    Data Plates Arrived

    Got my plate in the mail today. If looking for something similar... contact these guys. I think they may have had W/W versions as well.

    I got a KNUCKLE BOOM !! Need mesurments

    So... inquiring minds want to know what the donor for your doubling frame was. I was planning on bolting directly to my frame, but am considering doubling it now. Option C, buy a knuckleboom with an auxillary engine already installed. :D

    Data Plates Arrived

    I have not had calls nor e-mails returned in the 3 months I have been trying. His voicemail fills up occasionally and then it clears out, so someone is deleting the messages. I think the voicemail message changed in the last few weeks as well. I found another source for my M35A2 WO/W Data...

    my experience with wet stacking

    I bought a civilian gasoline generator(for like $50) years ago with horrible blowby. It had been run, lightly loaded, for it's entire short life and as a result the rings were gummed up and not sealing. The valves had deposits as well. Had to be dissassembled and cleaned/rebuilt. The...

    Our First MV's Recovered - Now on to Maintenance & Updates

    The brake shoes you can get re-lined at truck repair shops. Mine were $45 and one day wait. The brake cable I disconnected both ends, pumped a bunch of grease in the grease fitting and started working it back and forth. That didn't get it 100% free, so I hooked a drill on the end and...

    B-20 Biodiesel, Ultra low Sulfur diesel in old diesel engines, like military

    If you use biodiesel, you don't need a lubricity additive. It is one of the slickest things you can put in your tank. It will oxidize quicker. It will smoke less due to its oxygen content. It will dissolve the sludge that petroleum diesel has been leaving in your tank, so prepare to...

    looking for advice.... found a deuce?

    There are ways even without a title. They are not very cheap. I bought a truck without a title, have spent $500 and am just about to get a valid title in my state. Look up the regulations in your state. Search for posts on here about title companies, some guys have gotten screwed. I have...

    Another fuel pump went bad

    The motor is completely sealed and actually drives the pump via a magnetic connection across an air-gap. If you have gunk in the bottom of your tank, the pump can seize and the motor sill continue to run. When you pull the unit out, try to move the pump by itself. You may only need to...

    Self-correcting master cylinder leak?

    I had always "heard" when dealing with motorcycles that there was a compatability issue between Dot3 and Dot5 and they should never be mixed. One would cause the other to gel. Personally, I wouldn't risk it.

    New EPA Regulations On Large Truck Emissions

    Clean Coal? Not yet, They just released the FIRST EVER standards on mercury emissions from coal fired power plants (U.S. rolls out tough rules on coal plant pollution | Reuters) Coal power is the reason they are having to tell pregnant women not to eat any fish. As to Natural Gas, we have...

    New EPA Regulations On Large Truck Emissions

    There are some very easy technologies to save MPG Auxilary power units so the truck doesn't have to idle to warm the cab. Aerodynamics -just look at the ugly(IMHO) airfilters hanging out on a Peterbilt and think of the MPG they are costing. This is also why you are seeing more sideskirts on...

    New EPA Regulations On Large Truck Emissions

    I find it ironic that people are complaining about the EPA (one section of the government) while claiming the military (another section of the government) should be able to do whatever it desires.:popcorn: The recent increase in the CAFE standards for light vehicles did include an exemption...
