Don't take this wrong, I have two things to say that are for others out there also. First, if you live where you know it gets cold in the winter, and you have diesel powered equipment, why not plug them in the night before you are going to use that diesel powered piece of equipment? There are...

Get ahold of Scrapman here on Steel Soldiers, he sent me a beautiful Stewart Warner Pyro with thermocouple last summer. If he has more, his price was excellent and the gauges are top notch. I changed the 12 volt bulb out to an 1893 dash bulb 24 volt. It is a great setup. I mounted the...

I am including a picture of my deuce wing plow, it has plowed a school system and a ski slope parking lot for many years and is now living at the end of a private dirt road in the Adirondack mountains, keeping it open for a friend of mine. Never broke anything....... Until he tried to pull a...

JL628, You might want to go to Napa or Advance Auto or Auto Zone and buy a 2" manual oil pressure gauge, it comes with the fitting and tubing you will need. Install it and see if you havean oil pressure problem. It will put your mind at ease if all is well. JT out

Bruce, you've got it covered. If a guy wants his truck engine to stay with him, 2300 RPM is the sweet spot. A rev up to 2500 to get to the next shift point won't kill the engine but sustained driving at over 2200 to 2400 RPM will shorten the life of the motor. Please remember, the military did...

I get an easy 45 MPH out of mine. I was the clean up crew in a funeral procession a couple years ago. All Big Horses and Log trucks for an old friend. I got up to 55 MPH for the first time in My M543A2's life, took turns like I was at Watkins Glen, never saw the other trucks till I got to the...

Believe it or not, I have one of those pads, NOS in sealed plastic. I must say, it is oil impregnated cardboard, and I think I will use a section of mudflap for all of my M35 drivers that I use in cold weather. JT out

Small world, I offered a water pump to a guy I hauled stuff for a year ago and didn't even know I knew him. And now it turns out the Gull Wing is going to a town in Oregon not far from where I hope to move in a while. RTL434, the water pump is on the way. JT out

How did you manage to buy anything directly from Crysteel? I want to deal their hoists in my area, they said I have to buy from one of their dealers. we put hoists under deuce cargo boxes around here for landscapers and farmers. If you're looking for rear facing PTO accessory drives, email me...

That is the part that sends air to the draglink after truck air system passes 60psi. It will automaticly shut air off to draglink when truck air system goes below 60 psi. It is also a shut off valve if you want to disable the Air-O-Matic steering system. Do you have instructions? JT out

The Dt 360 is rated from 170 to at lesast 195 horse power. dependable, easy to get service parts for. The bell housings are all SAE. I expect to use a 195 hp ST 360 with it's Allison Auto behind it in my next Deuce 4x4 conversion. The DT will run all day at 2850 rpm. Put bigger tires on and...

It has an electric powered air compressor, right front of body, next to one of the furnaces. Runs on 208v. or 240v. will have to look at mine to be sure. JT out

Yes, if you have a source for the PTOs, please let us know. The conversion looks great, I have been doing them with scissors hoists instead of dual cylinders, I like your setup very much. Stay at 5 tons, your suspension will last longer. nice job. JT out

When we got a new Jeep Cherokee and were raising 9 children, I bought a seat that went behind the rear seat, it's back was against the back of the original rear seat, bolted to the floor and had 2 seatbelts too. those guys got in and out through the rear hatch, they usually preferred it back...

I agree with "Buy American" rule everywhere that it can apply. Injector pump heads for The American Bosch PSB6 pumps on multifuels are no longer made in the USA. I guess those who bought the import heads knew this and hoped for the best possible outcome. Kind of stuck between a rock and a hard...

I agree with Rockman, but go big, 20# bottle and a MR Heater on the passenger floor. Crack the windows and roll on. JT out
