Red River Parts and Equipment, New Boston, TX. They got everything but really only want to sell to governments ($$$). Welcome to the site.

If you go onto gsaauctions, Texas Forest Svc has a slew of old deuces and 5 tonners that are worn out that they get rid of.

Their yard is in Lufkin, and I am an known person there - due to getting fire equipment for my dept between Fort Worth and Wichita Falls.

What parts are you looking for? I might be able to see whats laying around my area!

not sure what i need yet im picking up my first pair of deuces one running wo/w and kne was in katrina has water marks at the top of the windows but has never been cranked over since. i plan on getting motor for it (poped oil cap theirs ALOT of rust in the head) and bobbing it but im sure i will need alot of things for both trucks just not sure as of now

If your gonna swap the motor out anyway, dump some old oil in and see if she fires up.

 

[steve227]

yea im going to chang tge oil on the running truck so ill use that old oil if she starts up ill see about salvageing the motor but i doubt it will be ok ill post pics wgen i get tge trucks over to my shop

Many times the valves look bad and the rest of the motor is in great shape. I'd pull the valve covers and blast everything with some wd40 or something to clean up the rust the best you can, then run it.

awesome will do. happen to know an average price on a good running motor? just incase
ive seen some on govliquidation but not very often

im also going to need alot of info on wmo if anyone wants to help me out i work at at lube and tire shop so i can take home as much as i want but i really dont know what i would be doing with it lol

(sorry if im posting all of this in the wrong place im a newb lol)

Motors can be cheap, I've gotten some as low as $300 and some are way up there. I have seen new ones on GL for over $2500. If you want to possibly use the motor, I think the rocker arms are easy to pull. That should close the valves and make clean up of the rust easier. Look in our "alt fuels" forum for wmo info.

I'm not far from you, over in Shreveport/Bossier. If you want to take a look at my waste oil setup, let me know. I have a Shenandoah waste oil furnace, I filter the oil specifically for shop heat, but it is clean enough if you wanted to run it for fuel in an engine you could. A contact of mine in the northwest runs his equipment with a similar setup.

These are worth looking at if you plan to run any form of waste oil as a fuel source:
