    Gasser lifting shackles

    I will defer to DD on this as well. But, my 1952 and my 1953 trucks both came with 1" mounts and the angled over shackles on them. I don't have my 1954 printed 9-8022 here at work to look at. However, the pictures in it show the angled over ones on all the trucks. Then, my 1952 printed ORD 9...

    Gasser lifting shackles

    Theh old ones are round and the newer ones are kind of flattened out when you look them is the only difference I know of.

    Torque Roads fore the M-35

    I am curious about how the roof of the bunker is still white. I pull my multifuel into my shop, cut it off right away and I have a black fog for about 30 minutes. You must have a good ventilation system in that thing.

    XM381 Would be the correct name

    You are correct Chris. 11.00 tires, 7 mpg and a 62 mph top speed. I now have a purpose for my other Gasser just sitting in the field.

    M109A3 recovery from Ft. Sam Houston

    It will work loose from a zip tie around the box. Zip tie the wires really good and then zip tie the box to something else. I learned this getting my truck home from OKC last month.

    Towing an M105 with civy truck

    Most of the "M101A1's" listed in OK this week were M105 trailers. I flipped my other M105 lunette ring last night. Lots of Royal Purple penetrating oil and a big sledge hammer. Took about 15 minutes from first blow to the wrench to get the nut loose, knocking the lunette loose, cleaning up...

    Starting/Charging system

    Chris, the purpose of the star washers as I understand it is to cut through paint, rust, junk and allow a path to ground. If you are starting with a clean terminal and a clean wire end. You will have lots of contact area. Adding a star washer will reduce your contact area to just the star...

    East Texas Events

    I just looked on his sight and it is not mentioned. Pistolnut who works in College Station has called me twice about it. A parade of MV's all the way through both College Station and Bryan Saturday with the vehicles in a static display for the rest of the weekend. I can't find a sight that...

    New deuce owner driving tips?

    Your assumption that the truck was well maintained is logical. However, not always practical in the real world. I got a truck from GL that was said to run, it did and has for more than 1,000 miles since I picked it up with no or little maintenance. Another truck in the same auction from the...

    East Texas Events

    I just learned last night from Pistolnut that Brent Mullins Jeeps is putting on a huge vehicle parade/event in Bryan College Station. Still a long drive for you, but unless something is going on in Tyler, about all you have to choose from this week.

    The good, bad and ugly

    The Oklahoma Recovery Team should be able to help you out. Wart Hog is another possible candidate. He lives real close to Tinker.

    East Texas Events

    Houston has a big Veterans Day Parade each year. But, you are so far East it might not be worth the drive. No parades in the Golden Triangle?

    2 problems with my deuce B 4 I leave

    The air compressor has something called "unloader valves." The air from the regulator on the firewall opens these valves and makes the compressor not compress. When the regulator decides the system needs more air, it removes the air from the valves and the compressor starts pumping again...

    Speedometer and Tachometer calibration

    I didn't know they had return springs. I swapped it out for another and all is well between what the two gauges read at speed now. I had an airplane mechanical tach that read 200 rpm when the engine was off. Turned out it was 200 rpm fast running as well. This M35 tach was at 0 with the...

    Wheel Bearings Again

    I personally think the lock nut is turning your adjusting nut in some. Using the numbers to adjust a wheel bearing works most of the time. However, for a situation like yours. I would suggest this: Pull off the outter tire. Pull the axle shaft and pick up the remaing tire/axle end. Grab...

    Speedometer and Tachometer calibration

    There is a gear box attached to the t-case. The speedometer cable goes into it. Different boxed were used for trucks with different tires. That is the theory at least. I know the search feature isn't in full health today, but Cranetruck posted the different numbers for the different...
