Does anyone know the part number for the Hydraulic Head Quill shaft "guide" plate (bow tie) ? I plan on ordering a couple for when I start to rebuild the spare Injection pumps I have.
Thanks.
I've been playing with my new MEP-016D generator and all I have to say about this engine is "SMOOTH" !!!! It is the smoothest running diesel I have ever seen. I have other Yanmar engines and they run nice but this one is the best. I plan on buying another engine for my air-compressor project.
I remember working on a Kenworth in 1979 that had lost it's u-joint just behind the transmission. It took out both saddle fuel tanks and some air hoses and wiring. It took days to fix this truck. After I went to work on the buses at the transit department I noticed all the drivelines had a...
I recently bought a fuel tank for the deuce for my auxiliary tank project. I tore everything apart, cleaned the tank and the fuse housing. Replaced the fuel pump and sending unit and was in the process of reinstalling the fuse housing when I realized I had lost the 3 nuts holding it down. No...
A number of people have contacted me about the brake light switch I used on my system. So I decided to post it here. The first picture is the drivers side air-pac and switch. The second picture is the passenger side air-pac and switch. The reason I went to this switch and didn't reuse the...
Here's some pictures of my new Donaldson "Topspin" pre-cleaner. It seems to be a pretty good unit. The side of the housing has a slot (seen in picture 2 ) at the top and when driving air is forced in causing an impeller to spin. This spinning forces the large particles of dirt and dust to fling...
Why was a post from Saturday (June 13, 2015) pulled and all mention of it gone ? I posted to this thread and the whole thing and my post from my personal file is gone.
What is going on ?
Does anyone know what size this end clamp is ? (Gama-Goat steering column) It appears to be 3/4" X 36 splines . I measured it with the calipers and got a measurement of .860" . Of course this is a bolt clamp so I don't know how much it is spread open to accurately tell. Also does anyone know...
Someone here was asking why do the HH clips fall off ( I think it was David). I found out while reading the Manual (what a concept, reading the manual ! ) that the HH must match the injection pump body. There is a different spring located under the HH for different models of pumps. Now this is...
This is my "Expedition" M105 trailer. I have been modifying it for some time now. I added the tire carriers so I could take off the tire carrier on the deuce (for a spare fuel tank). you can see how I drilled out the inner frame to get access to the bolts. I also rebuilt the air system. New...
I needed extra carrying capacity for Coolant and possibly fuel. The problem is the deuce does not have to many places to attach a spare can too. I have seen photos of Vietnam deuces with the fuel cans hanging off the rear mud flaps and thought that would be a good idea. I know there is someone...
Does anyone else have this problem. Your typing a message to someone here and this site logs you out and you lose the whole message you just typed ? This has been happening to me for the last 2 weeks now. It just happened now as I was typing a long Personal message to someone here. It took me...
I have a quick question for anyone who has put a extra fuel tank on there deuce. After you remove the spare tire carrier, how do you deal with the parking brake cable ? Do you cut a new hole in the frame and reroute it higher ? Will that work ? Any clearance issues ?
Thanks.
I have only owned "1" M105 trailer so I'm no expert here, but I never heard that they used an "aluminum" housing with the "Black-out" lights being "LEDs". Do all the M105 trailers have these lights ? and where can I buy more. I would like to put some on my Deuce. My Deuce lights are the cheap...
Here's another "consumer awareness report" . I have an original military "Ken Tool" Lug Wrench for my deuce, but since I always like to have a back-up I decided to buy another one. The problem came when I bought this tool from a business on eBay. They have sold a lot of these wrenches saying...
Does anyone know where I can get a master cylinder rebuild kit for the M105 trailer ? I don't which model exactly it is as the data plate is missing. The master cylinder is applied by a large air can and the wheels have 2 wheel cylinders each. The cylinder bore is 1-1/16" . The seals have...
I bought these lights from "gimpyrobb" (Chris) and installed them as back-up lights and auxiliary front lights. I've waited to post these pictures until I bought more lights from Chris. I wanted to make sure I could get more ! These lights are extremely well made and bright ! I'm surprised Chris...
I finally got my NATO fuel can to set firmly in the fuel can holder. I love the NATO fuel cans. In my opinion they are far superior then the old U.S. military style . So I wanted to carry one on my deuce. The problem was, since the NATO cans have a rounded bottom they will rock when put into the...
Does anyone have or know where to get the generator from a MEP-531A ? I don't want to buy a whole unit as my engine runs great ! If I can't find one I'm thinking of adapting a civilian unit behind the engine. Has anyone done that before ?
Thanks.
