well if you are still looking and have the means to ship or are comfortable driving from MD - mine is up for sale. I moved to NC but my deuce is still in MD (have friends looking after it for me) even have a set of fmtv wheels/tires and adapters to go with it.
push pull cables have been used for manual transmissions for 3 decades. I think they hold up just fine.
for air you can rig up two cylinders to push in series. each with double throw (not spring return) energize both to pull and it goes into low, energize both to push and it goes into high...
if you use a vanner battery equalizer (good for battery health anyways) then use the 12volt tap to run a charge controller you can keep a bank of whatever number of 12 volt batteries in parallel charged as you want.
I have not yet installed a 3rd battery in my box even though i did weld in the...
if you want a daily driver that can use the same free fuel as the deuce then look into an older mercedes turbo diesel like a 300D - I've got an 87 3L and it will run all the same blends as the deuce (except straight gasoline, which is emergency situation only) (if you get one, get a 2.5L they...
push pull cable all the way - that or pneumatics/hydraulics (two cylinders with the air bled from the system should give very consistent movement and just have to run a hose or two)
PS. good to see you post again - I've been wondering how this project was coming along since I still am hunting...
gulfway is the way to go
historic tags don't require an inspection
if you get one thats already tagged/titled then its super easy
otherwise you'll need the sf97
as for the license requirements, a 2.5 ton is just a standard class c, a 5 ton will need atleast a non-commercial class b or class a
blue wrench
I'd carefully heat things up - just not hot enough to damage them, then try the hammer again. can also use a hammer and punch to tap around just the bearing race.
to make a tool I would use a section of channel with a hole in the middle large enough for the splined shaft to slit...
interesting idea on the app - no i haven't, but i can tell you that now the fan and gear noise is significantly louder than the exhaust. it is about the same volume as muffled commercial trucks like the trash trucks etc. can have conversations and all.
HP / VE is directly related to CFM - I've actually never seen someone make your claim before, physics is against you.
As a general rule of thumb, CFM x .069 = estimated lbs./min lbs./min x 10 = estimated HP
port size only determines air velocity at the ports not the intake, runner diameter and...
I used an aeroturbine muffler
it combines a straight through design with a pulse cancelation.
essentially it pulls off some of the exhaust flow, makes it take a longer path then reintroduces it to the main flow. this takes two differently times pulse waves and combines them to partially cancel...
