Couple of questions... The handle down by the door. Pulls up to engage. Is it coming up? Transfer case in the center position. Is the "jackshaft" at the back of the cab - is it turning?
Sometimes you have to bump the transmission shifter into gear - then pull up on the PTO handle on the...

The 923a2 being a cargo won't have the 5th Wheel obviously and the hoses to connect it to the trailer and the tractor protection valve. No trailer hand valve for the trailer either. No yellow trailer brake button on the dash either.
Maybe the big question is this: Are you planning to drag...

August isn't bad... Especially since you were able to fire her off and participate in the Christmas parade!
These little toys can definitely chew on your wallet some, but the smiles that you get - and the folks who wave as you are cruising along make it worthwhile. It sounds like you have a...

Larry,
That truck that 98G has will get you a jump start on Deuce ownership! Already has a nice set of super singles on it. She also has a hard top already on it - so up there in the snow - you can be warm and dry. Ask questions and who knows what can happen!
Only thing to mention is...

It is a green crazy that you can have a lot of fun with! There are folks here who have done that conversion from 6x6 to 4x4 on a Deuce. There are a couple of Bobber threads here and I think I have seen a few for sale in the Steel Soldiers CLASSIFIEDS. You could be living the dream...

Sad but so true...
Everybody in the trucking business has seen more stupidity recently than ever before.
And the collective opinion is that it is only going to get worse.

REALLY interesting YouTube video that I saw this morning explained a lot of the WHY about Amazon still receives their...

With the military the way is is today - it isn't unusual to see the Marine Reserve here off North Tryon or the Army 108th Tng unit in their convoys with Camo, Green and Tan trucks. Both groups have a "hodge podge" of tan rims on green trucks and covers that don't match the truck by color...

The parts in the picture look clean and good to me.
More pictures down into or inside the transmission?
You might want to chock the wheels and remove the drive shaft. It might be that you could do that disconnect, then have some body under the truck try to slowly turn the output shaft - and...

Well, I am guessing you don't already have any sort of "hitch on the back" unless you just happen to be incredibly lucky. The Deuce can pull most anything you want to drag to the new property. Is there any chance that you could replace a ball hitch on the front of a trailer (or whatever) so...

Could be that the puller attached overnight with your version of Slick-em soaking overnight... Then tomorrow morning, bring a 3# hammer and give the screw on the puller one solid "love tap" and see what happens.
The rust has been there for a while. Save Up! More than likely it took years...

Technical Manual for the machine.
The -12 on the end of the string of numbers is the owners manual that helps you know how to maintain the power plant on your particular machine. Those (free) books live in the TM Section of the site.

Like royalflush55 said, you need something to break loose the rust.
That isn't going to just "pop" off the column. Puller that cucvrus recommended will work better for sure. If I were you, I would soak it with your favorite penetrating oil then attach the puller and tension it - and go...

Have to hold really still - but you could snap a picture or the instructions with a cell phone. It isn't perfect, but a good way to share the info for the time being. Might need to pick your highest resolution for really good pictures. Especially of paper...
