I have called around to many surplus dealers in search of a rubber seal for the hard top to cab back seal, and so far can't find one new or used. Any suggestions where to inquire?
Doghead was a big help to me with my deuce recovery, and can offer options and/or advice on your potential recovery. Whatever you decide to do, have a alternate plan as sometimes things may not go your way. About a year ago I requested quotes to various transporters, and the average quote I...
I can bring deuce multifuel cylinder sleeve and piston kits, singles or enough for all 6 holes. Currently listed in classifieds, send me a PM so I can set them aside for you.
Doghead is most correct, as is Gimpyrobb. Not sure about m-35tom, Herr Bauer and I don't quite speak the same lingo. ;) Thank you all for schooling me on the scalloped washer. Heck, I said I wasn't a injector pump expert. Nobody enjoys admitting they erred and I'm no different. But it wasn't the...
HH removal option
Not to be disrespectful Tom, but I think it is YOUR information that is incorrect and confusing. The hydraulic head has basically 2 functions, one is provide a high pressure, metered volume of fuel 3 times per crankshaft revolution, and the second is to distribute it to the...
Remove the fuel shut off cover on the side of the pump below the hydraulic head, and cut the safety wire on the fuel control shaft retaining clamp. Remove the 2 screws, the clamp, and then unhook the governor rod from the fuel control shaft by carefully removing the small clip. Pull the fuel...
Just because you CAN rig a load a certain way, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it that way. Did anyone even bother to look at the load data plaques on those forklifts?
I'm soliciting advice from RKI's (reasonably knowledgeable individuals) about the surging idle on my deuce. Here is a little history on it first so we can eliminate some possibilities. After towing truck home (it was a non runner), drained and replaced fuel with fresh diesel. Changed ALL...
Just went through this scenerio myself. Remove the injector pump timing plate, and have an observer make sure the shaft is turning when you crank the engine over. Assuming the pump shaft turns with the engine, remove the fuel shut off cover on the side of the pump below the hydraulic head, and...
OK, I'm still working on this but I found 2 problems and I need answers. It was obvious that my hydraulic head was not pumping fuel up to the injectors, and I definately was getting plenty up to the HH. Pulled the center bolt out on the head ( the one in the middle of the injector lines on top)...
Just punch a hole through the top of the filter cans and wait at least a few hours, most of the oil trapped in the filter will migrate back through the filter media and you won't have much of a spill to clean up. Warm up the engine (oil) first, and the longer you wait the better results you will...
I purchased an LDT-465-1D engine located just west of Cincinnati, Ohio from an individual (not GL) and need it transported to west side of Rochester, NY. Pick up schedule is very flexible, weekend would be OK, I know some folks have tried U-ship but I feel that people associated with Steel...
Santa has another name, and it is Doghead!
I can't thank Doghead enough for picking up my truck and trailer, best Christmas gift I could have received! I wasn't sure the wait would ever end with 2 government holds, 64 days for EUC approval after BC receipt, and a unsuccesful attempt at pick up...
I need a deuce transported from Fort Drum (13602), to Hamlin NY. (14464). About 180 miles, truck rolls but doesn't start, would need to be pulled or winched onto trailer. Darn EUC took so long, that the weather turned bad and I don't want to try to fix it and fight the snow too. Need it removed...
