Good point Devin.

I don't think so,I would post and see if anyone has one.

For the 2003 East Coast convoy to Aberdeen MA with my Deuce I completely rebuilt my multifuel(new crankshaft,main and rod bearings,cylinder liners,piston rings,valves and seats and oil pump)plus I took the following, spare injection pump spare water pump spare alternator spare starter 2 sets of...

Rumplecat, Unfortunately i'll have to sit this one out,as i'm not able to get off work at such a short notice,otherwise I would be there.

Unfortunatley the injection pump for the 816 and the 819 are specalized to those two trucks because they require a constant speed for crane (or winch)operation.I've never found it necessary to run mine above idle speed though.My 816 is missing the throttle cable that runs from the rear controls...

The VS or Variable Speed lever is an external governer for controlling engine rpm during crane and rear winch operation.It will be above and slightly rearward of the foot throttle,it will also have a small air cylinder going to it on the opposite side of the injection pump which connects with...

Cabell, I was planning to drive to the ATHS show today,then I remembered there was 4 tons of stone for the driveway I had not unloaded still in the Deuce(I shoveled it all off before all this happened by the way).Plus the injectors I ordered for the 816 came in Friday( I was going to install...

I decided to take my M52 out for it's weekly drive,So I lift the hood ,ck the oil and water levels.Jump in the cab,turn the acc switch on,CLUNK.Hmmmm ,low batteries,I'll jump it off with the Deuce.I got the old Mack running,go to take off,brake pedal hits the floor.Fill the M/C bleed the...

Ok,got my rebuilt injectors today,$28.70 ea,cheaper than Deuce injectors.Also going to replace my fuel cut soleniod to be on the safe side,I'll post the results.

Bjorn, The M number for the trailer is M790.I believe they were all destroyed with the missiles in the early 90's.

The GOER was for sale,but I had already paid for the second adv.run when I decided to keep it.I really would hate to see it end up as 500 Toyota cars!

Well,looks like i'll be pulling injectors in the next few weeks.Same problem this afternoon,after letting the 816 sit all night and checked the clear fuel line I installed,full of fuel clear up to the pump.It still took 20 seconds or so to fire off,so I guess it's injector time.Thanks to all for...

The "motor pool" that contains 3 M37s,2 3/4 ton trailers,2 M416s an M38 and a M38A1.

Two more,This is my M553 Caterpillar GOER 10 ton wrecker,It is serial # W-1 of 117 ever produced.Delivery date Nov 22 1972.

The reasons I call my deuce Oddball are, The frame is not stamped with a serial # anywhere. there is no indication of a manufacturer anywhere,AMGeneral,Kaiser/Jeep etc. It's a dropside winch truck(supposedly rare) It still retains the Hi or Lo mount headlight plates from the earlier M35s When I...

Sorry Cabell,I forgot to mention the vehicle I towed twice was my own.Rumplecat,let me know a date when you plant to ressurect it and i'll try to be there and help.

jwaller, Is this the 818 that's on GL at Ft Jackson ?

The M52A1 is Mack powered,the 816 has the NHC 250 Cummins.The deuce has a LDT 465-1C multifuel.

A word of caution and advice,The last thing I picked up from Gl had all of it's fluids drained,engine oil,antifreeze,fuel,everything.Also,the last trip I made in my 816 it took 4 months to get it ready to drive a 1200 mile round trip,and I ended up towing no less than 3 other vehicles that...
