    1-wheel vs 2-wheel landing gear

    Just starting to dabble into some trailers. I picked up a m105a2 trailer last week and it’s landing gear has 2-wheels. I’m looking to go pick up another m105 and the pictures only show a 1-wheel landing gear. Is it because of a design/year change? Just curious. Thanks

    First time in the snow…

    Last winter was my first winter with a duece. The wife and I have about 20acres and I took it out into one of our small “pastures”. The field grass was about 8-10” tall and then we had about 6-8” of snow on top of that. Anyways, I couldnt go ANYWHERE without the front diff engaged, and even...

    Pieces and parts for IP rebuild

    What other pieces and parts would be needed or be wise to replace when tearing apart the IP to replace gaskets? I already have the “basic” gasket kit, and the HH orings on hand. I was hoping maybe someone who’s been through a rebuild could offer some advice on what might need replaced, or what...

    Extended driveshaft cost…

    Has anyone lately had a driveshaft extended? I came across a thread in 2013 where a guy had his extended by 7” for a bobber project, he used a professional driveline shop and it cost him $120. They cut off, and reinstalled a longer shaft, then of course balanced. I contacted a local driveline...

    Rebuilding/Cleaning injectors and…

    I picked up (6) injectors that have a rebuild date of ‘68, then sat unused. All (6) had stuck needles in the nozzles. I have noticed that (3) of the nozzles are German, and the other (3) are US. Both have the same “two-hole/port” diameter size, BUT, the needles inside the nozzles are different...

    Random PTO question

    How can I find out what all types of PTOs fit on the deuce? Is there a list somewhere? I’ve come across this Chelsea unit locally and was curious how I would know if it would work/fit? I’m not saying I wanna buy it(although it would be nice to have a pto driven pump). I know that’s a very...

    Please don’t say head gasket…

    Looking over the truck this afternoon and I noticed a wet area around the #6 exhaust manifold. All areas around the intake manifold including the coolant passages, and valve cover appear to be dry. It almost appears to be black and sticky. Maybe a bad exhaust gasket, and the “fluid” is my wmo...

    In-tank pigtail/twist lock

    Either I’m not using the correct verbiage, or I just can’t find any, but does anyone know where to locate an in-tank pigtail? Or at least just a twist lock plug for the pump? Long story short, I sold a NOS pump which uses a twist lock plug. The guy who bought it had a plug that was pressed on...

    Just spit balling…brakes

    I wonder if something like this could be retrofitted/mounted in our cab. Maybe a dual circuit upgrade for a reasonable price? Interesting for sure. Thoughts?

    Random question about MC rebuild

    Just a random question. I’m not concerned or looking for a part, but I was curious as to why the 2.5 ton master cylinder does NOT include the spring where as the 5 ton rebuild does? Are any of the parts interchangeable? Just a few random questions for maybe the older guys with experience…thanks!

    Front rims on the rear?

    I came across this picture of a bobbed deuce from 2010. Anyways, did this guy use front rims on the rear of his truck also? Is it just that easy? or what’s the downfall? Thanks!

    Bobbed axle placement

    What’s the consensus on placement of the axle when bobbing a deuce? Meaning… 1. Use a plumb bob to mark the “middle” axles placement. Do the work, and place axle back in the same location to reuse the driveshaft. 2. Or, I’ve read a few instances where guys have moved the axle back 5”. Mark...
