Fabricated some mudflap mounts for my M931A2 out of leftover 1/4-inch steel plate...it was a little rusty in spots, so I broke out the needle scaler & wire wheel on grinder to remove it all before welding. I thought about modding some mudflap hangers to include a 90-degree bend and simply bolt...

Sorry to hear that, hope you're doing much better now.

Flow rate. The FASS can be had in basically 2 versions: the 95gpm and the 150gpm. I've been running the 150gpm on one of my truck for about 5 years now, and I love it. You can get FASS filters down to 2 micron, that is what I use on my FASS-150. Also, the FASS has superior filtration built...

Flat-towing my Deuce:

AH-HA! Thank you!! I haven't see any early model shorties then, only the later-models without the recess. Thanks!! [thumbzup]

I've purchased several of those from TNJ Murray; they've worked perfectly each time and I'm very happy with TNJ Murray's customer service. However, I'm always left with one O-ring when using these rebuild kits, and can't figure out where it's supposed to go...

What Doghead said; otherwise you'll have a difficult time in removing it, as the brakes will be applied. The -10 manual explains in detail how to do it, and once you do it the first time, you'll shake your head as to how easy it really is. Just be sure to keep track of the dust plug that...

Nice! I've got a sheet of cork gasket material that I cut keyway plugs from as well...just make sure you use a sharp blade to make things easier, and you can cut the wedge profile as well. Then coat them with The Right Stuff and add a shot of it afterwards to the keyway, and you're in business.

I used ABS drain pipe, 3" diameter, for my seal driver/setter. I installed a slip coupler on the seal end for a stronger sealing surface, and a plug-cap on the other end to hammer against. Just make it a few inches longer than the axle spindle so it slips over to seat the inner seal. I use...

Excellent point; I've used a few of those NAPA kits and they work wonderfully (better than the newer, imported ones). However, I was just at my local NAPA and they were having a devil of a time finding any left...it looks like they've been superseded by the newer style without the shouldered...

I get mine in bulk from Erik's; great customer service and prompt delivery: http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/cowaforbafio1.html (Inner) and http://www.eriksmilitarysurplus.com/cowaforbafio.html (Outer). You could take the old crush washers to a reputable auto parts store and see if they have...

Last summer I purchased a 1942 D4 5T hydraulic bulldozer with adjustable angle blade...you can still see the original OD Green underneath the flaking yellow; I was under the impression that it was former Army, but now I'm scratching my head and wondering if it might have been with the SeaBees...

That's what I do...after running it through water-block filters and filtered down to 2 microns. The highest ratio of old gasoline to WMO I've ever run has been 30%, and that did well down to almost 0-degrees Fahrenheit. I've also de-watered and filtered gasoline as old as 10 years with no...

Just found this thread; I have had this problem in my Deuce and a couple of others I've worked on. Most of the time it's the wheel cylinders; I've re-honed all of them, cleaned them thoroughly, and installed new rebuild kits in each one. The majority of the time, this has worked (of course...

About 3 inches in height and a couple thousand pounds of carrying capacity.

Most states will add Zeros to the front of the VIN to comply with the 17-digit post-1981 requirement...you don't need to do anything, but at your local DMV just have the DMV rep add zeros to the front of the VIN and it will be OK. I've had this done several times (on a couple of FMVs) with no...

Beware of DOT 5.1; use only DOT 5 (silicone brake fluid). 5 & 5.1 are NOT the same! Just read an article on one of my Dodge Cummins sites, 5.1 is approved for Dodge trucks as it interchanges with DOT 3 & 4 with a higher boiling point than either of those (of course you want to flush out the old...

Glad it went OK for you, good job!

Congrats on your new truck! It won't take you long to learn how to rev up the engine when shifting to match rpms on transmission & engine. You can also practice your heel-toe downshifting that helps a LOT when slowing down. You can even practice shifting without using the clutch once you're...

I have to change out the driver's side boot on my M931A2; compared to what is required to do this on a Deuce, the 931 is a piece of cake. (1) Use RTV or seal-maker; all you are trying to do is prevent grease from leaking out through the zipper. (2) Use safety wire from NAPA (or other auto...
