Last couple weeks I have been pulling the engine on the M48A1 off and on between work.
My whole convert to M60 Continental diesel endeavor is scrapped because the AVDS-1790-2 is waaaaay too expensive to procure plus dumb me forgot this was an A1 and does not have the louvered rear. :???:
So...
Does anyone have a complete wiring schematic for the M-48 with the 12CYL CONTINENTAL GAS ENGINE. I know there is one somewhere online of the diesel one. I need the gasoline one.
This thing is driving me nuts and I don't care about any other systems at the moment except engine operation. The...
Long time since I posted but lotsa things have been keeping me busy :(

Hey guys we have two of these to restore and I'm looking for parts, etc for them. I particularly need to find one engine good/rebuildable/parts/junk engine. I think the engines are Pratt & Whitney R-2800 or R-2800-31 engines.
If you have jugs and pistons that would work too.

Today I started throwing sparks from my tailpipe....what gives???? I have not seen this happen before even on the deuce?
I had to do some work in my shop tonight so I cranked up and wheeled my beast out of its lair and...

Check this little greyhound out. If I had one, this is how I'd want it set up.....the heck with the gas engine. :-D
That little Detroit sure fits in there nicely!
Hey, is there any way to ensure that a tranny is good? I have one for a 5-ton that I picked up in a lot and its just sitting here taking up space so I want to get rid of it. It seems to be OK but what I want to know is if someone here can decipher the numbers written in paint stick on the sides...
Well I'm not sure if you'd call my location southwestern LA or not but if you are passing nearabouts or through the Rayne, Church Point, Eunice, Crowley area and have mechanical trouble or run out of time and need a place to store your stuff then give me a holler.
I have 30 acres of free...
Hey guys, what are your opinions of the WalMart SuperTech 85-140W gear oil? It's says its good for applications where a GL-5 specified grade is required.
The reason I ask is because I just changed the oil in all three axles on my praga and if the stuff is crap then I'd like to know. The manual...
OK just so you all know this is not on a deuce, this is on my Lizard.
What I've been feeling is a low pulsing vibration when I reach a sustained speed of 45mph or a little higher.
It is smooth for about 4 seconds then goes brrrrrrrrr for about 3 seconds then smoothes out again and repeats...

Does anyone have one or have access to one and could possibly measure the driver and turret hatches for me and maybe give me an idea if I will be able...
Just picked up another multifuel and am thinking of making a pawer unit out of it. One problem though.....it was partially submerged and I'm thinking that its been sitting with water in it for a while.
Pulled the oil plug and several gallons of water came out, I dont know about the top end but...
Hey guys, in the Wal-Mart flavor of batteries what is the decent/minimum CCA per battery that would be needed for the deuce?
Any of you guys run Wal-Mart batts and if so what do you get? I live in the south and cold starting is really not a problem.
Hey guys, I have a question about exhaust odors. I dont know if this would be relevant with a timing problem but my exhaust is smelling quite pungent.
This is on my Czech truck but I would figure that the odor of the exhaust would be similar to any other inline 6-cylinder compression diesel...
