If you aren't going to notch the crossmember and install the nut, at the very least you should tighten it down good and put a tack weld on the backside from the bolt to the frame. It would be best to just install the nut though as fasteners can stretch over time and get loose even if welded in...

You can use the black iron pipe. Just be sure to keep the water content at a minimum or you'll have lots of rust to contend with. Stainless is best but pricey of course. I used galvanized and haven't seen any ill effect. Diesel is supposed to pick up the sulphur from the galvanized coating...

Right. Driving any military truck with a folding windshield is like driving with a screen door for a windshield.

What kind of expensive filtration media are you referring to?

What size is that hose rusty? 1.5" or 2"? It should be 2" right?

Yeah looks real good man.

Sent you a pm. I think I have one already but if you post a pic I'll know for sure.

Looks a lot better with the upper hull set on properly and all of the junk out of it. So you did end up with the proper engine huh? Was it the one that was sitting between the two connexes in the back?

With what I saw when I was there, I didn't think it would ever run again. I would like to see it restored, just wasn't the right tracked vehicle for me.

My floorboard heats mine pretty good alone with a hardtop.:p

It is an 809 series 5 ton.

Gimp, what do you want for those filters and bases anyway? I tried to PM you but your inbox is full.

Like I mentioned, I do have one of the reusable large fuel tank tampons in the tank as we speak. It isn't doing squat so far. It would help if the water would settle out of the fuel but it is staying in suspension. This is why I'm having to use the water absorbing filters for the goldenrod...

I've only used the quick reference spreadsheet napa number and they are correct. You could go a couple inches shorter if you wanted more adjustment for stretch over time but that's kind of pointless. By the time they stretch that much they need replaced anyway. Note that I just recently replaced...

Are those the ones that you sell with the lift pump housing for the CUCV?

Just a bit of an update on this matter: I've set up my 1.5" pump with a beta systems filter assembly and a goldenrod water block filter assembly in line and have been recirculating the fuel in one pod. The fuel is clearing up and I am going through about one goldenrod filter every hour I run it...

It wouldn't be a bad idea to visit some truck salvage yards and try and find a wrecked rollback to scavenge the valve body and actuators off of, then order a remote off of EBay if you can't find the pendant in the cab of the truck.

Come on Kenny, we have a local member here that is in his mid 50's and just bought his first deuce. Don't tell me you're too old for it. Now, tired of the fuel bill or tinkering I could maybe understand. Myself, I find working on the deuce easier than any truck or passenger car I've ever had the...

That appears to be a "curb feeler" but for cars instead of curbs. I thought Whatadeuce had moved to Louisiana/Alabama?

Well Kenny you could always buy another one.
