I have a pile of these covers & two drop side trucks to keep them on. I wrap the cover around the top of the lockdown mechanism & drive the blazing speed of 45-50 mph for hours & have not worn thru the covers @ these points. Also, the cargo does not get wet in any rains, driving or stationary...

The delivery valve behind the 12 point bolt is stuck in my hydraulic head. It will not come out with a magnet stuck up in the spring bore or with a pair of pliers placed into the spring bore hole. Tomorrow, I will spray some more carb cleaner into the bore to see if it will loosen the delivery...

You helped a bunch of guys get their trucks running, so all the parts you gave away went to good homes. People remember that more than who they bought what parts from. Thanks for your help so far.

I am not going to junk the hydraulic head as that would be stupid. A little more investigating & cleaning is in order before I send it off for repair or come with a better solution. I get a little frustrated with this truck as the first Deuce was a plug & play, but this one is a plug & plug away...

Zombie posts aren't really fun due to the time frame that passes. The guys posting probably didn't pay attention to the time stamp before posting. I bought an original military battery for my 701a from NAPA & when it arrived it almost stopped my heart. The battery cost $285.00 for that small...

Well, James dropped by & we hooked up a new injector to the #3 line & cranked the truck over to see if any fuel was getting to & thru the injector. Nothing came out of the injector while cranking, so we removed the injector from the line & fuel would come out, but there was not enough pressure...

I bought a pallet of those in tan years ago from GL & replaced the original mirrors that came with the first Deuce. They come with the outer arms also. Major improvement from the old faded mirrors. I still have several boxes of sets left.

I bought 6 injectors from a fellow member here some time ago & now may need them. They are each new in a sealed plastic container, but are just the tips & are 2 hole injectors. The laser etchings on them are: ADB35S124-7 & no other markings; they are supposed to be for the 465-LDT engine...

I put the tailgate back on the '85 Deuce by myself as it has been in the back of the bed since I recovered it. It is bent by ? some soldiers pushing it with something really big, but it did fit. They welded up a two step ladder & connected it to the hinge pins on the trucks rear for easy entry...

Greg, Alan here. The truck was a non-runner from the auction & I tow barred it home. The guy @ the lot had not even attempted to get it to start, which saved him a lot of work. He usually get things running before auction as to sell for more $$$. Investigating the truck, we made sure the plunger...

My boss went to Spartanburg for a few days to a big pow wow, I can read Steel Soldiers Site with no problems now.

Thanks for the comprehensive write up James, I never thought it would be so difficult to get a multi fueled diesel engine running. The '87 has been a stellar example of what to expect, the '85, not so much. We will get it running eventually or?

Intake is not plugged, tried to remove the check valve coming out of the HH & going back to the tank as return. Spring is not broken, but check valve will not come out with a strong magnet that fits inside where spring rides. Cylinder valves are moving, but I might need to remove the covers to...

I see what you did there, :funny:. I had the computer screen jump & post the wrong quote.

I see what you did there,:funny:.

You said that right! I had a girlfriend years ago that gave me two clumps of different bamboo, both runners. Move forward 25 years & there is bamboo over 1/4 of my 6 acre homestead. The larger of the two types is now sprouting shoots as big as a man's wrist. Every year, I spend too much time...

Since after checking the delivery valve & the no start continued, I decided to put the tailgate back on. The tailgate was in the bed when I recovered the truck from GP & the Air Force had put a makeshift ladder on the right side rear of the truck, after removing the tailgate for whatever...

Since the M-1081 I have had the heater / vent system beat to pieces when I got it, I just bought a complete replacement center unit with new air brakes & trailer brakes controls to eliminate many problems @ once. That is not an inexpensive way to repair the problem, but it worked so far.

After work today, I pulled the hydraulic head off the 1985 Deuce again to see if the button popped off since it still would not start. Got everything lined up & when the head came off, it was still intact..button in place. That was not the problem, so I put it all back together & still no start...

A newer 2010 MTVR went for $35K plus the 20% for fees & taxes, way too rich for my blood & bank account.
