The modeling I've done so far has been in ProEngineer. However I'm switching over to Onshape (see www.onshape.com). I'd be happy to share the models I have, though I have very little of the frame modeled. I need to model more as well, because I'm getting started on converting mine to a...

Ahh. Very interesting. Looks like the restrictor also acts as a seal between the block and the end cap. That is a little harder to duplicate, but I'm not sure it's necessary. Also, for what it's worth, the datasheet on mine EL13020, mentions putting a pipe plug in the base hole if you aren't...

Seat Bracket and Seat Mods: So once the airbag conversion was done, I now needed to mount my MRAP seat. There are several threads on ways of doing this. Usually a flat plate does the trick. But that seemed way to easy and direct... Looking at the seat, it's an interesting combo of metric and...

Well, switching the driver's seat over to the folding MRAP type and converting to air-ride from spring ride took a little more work than I anticipated... Here are the details. From an older thread about the conversion...

So, I mentioned I did my headgasket recently... I collected a bunch of notes and parts, but figured it was worth it's own thread. In the non-hotrod section. If yer interested, here ya go. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?148514-Head-Gasket-Repair&p=1811376#post1811376 ciao lino

First, Merry Christmas Second, back to regular programming... Hopefully today, and certainly this weekend, I'll be getting the air-ride seat mod done - with some adaptations. Pics shortly. I also have all the gauges in-hand, so hope to do those too. Fuel sender tweaks might happen this...

Ahh, a bit more digging and it looks like you are right. The difference between the 13020(that I've got) and the 13060 is that oil feed hole... And that's a heck of a price! Please post pics once you get it. I'm curious how they made the hole, and if it appears to do any oil...

So I got a little further on the oiling issue... Here's a pic with the side cover removed and both the side cover and base gasket in place. So to me, it seems like all that I'm missing is a hole that connects the the two holes in the gaskets. If the pen were a drill: Why that hole is left...

Awesome Aaron! THe Tu-Flo models seemed like they were the best choice for a replacement. I was never able to find one for as good a deal as the one I got, but that's the one I was after to start with. Hopefully the oiling system mates up correctly! Keep us posted!

Hey rustystud, That is what I thought would be the case with this compressor, but have a look at these pics I took of the bottom today... I don't see any sign of an oil feed hole in the base. Does anyone have a pic of the base of the stock compressor, or a pic of the mount? And I'm a little...

Hey Brianp454, Thank you for the offer. I typically do my best to design out pipe threads for my day job, and I frequently dig thru both parker and swagelok catalogs... And while I really do hate tapered threads, I opted to use them in this design for the following reasons: (if you don't...

Mine was $300 plus shipping from eBay. I had to watch for a little while for that price, but I didn't feel like it was an extraordinary deal. I'm sure you could find it for that again. Though, I'd advise waiting until I figure out if it works... ciao lino

Ive looked thru the TM to try and understand how the stock compressor is fed oil. I couldn't find anything I felt was definitive, but it looks like there is an oil jet from the compressor bracket. They appear to be splash lubed. And a gravity drain back in bracket as well. I'll know more...

Here are a few pics of the compressor. Again, the head on this one requires water cooling, so I doubt it's what came on any multifuels. Mine has a 2 cylinder compressor, but it's much smaller than this. I'll post comparison pics when I get the old one out... Air ride seat and gauges are...

Well, I can't say for sure that there is one that fits, but I have one that *should* fit... Haldex EL1320. It does have a watercooled head, so it's not direct bolt in, but as best I can tell, the base mount and oiling system should be compatible. This is the datasheet I have on it. I'll also...

So I've made some progress here and there. I have the first prototype of the billet dual fuel filter installed and running. I'm tracking it on a separate thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?144780-Deuce-Billet-Dual-Fuel-Filter-Assembly I want to get some more miles on it before...

Hey Guys, Thanks for the ping. I revised the design slightly and have started to program the CNC code. Then I got side-tracked on the property I bought earlier this year. Building a 1/4 mile road thru woods is more difficult than I anticipated. But I just finished on Wednesday. Now that...

Good advise, thank you. I had also arrived at 2/0 cable as the choice. Peak current draw is listed at 278A by Warn. The winch has 1/0 cable (it's cut off an MRAP), but only for a few inches. I'll splice to those pigtails as the control box is fully potted on the 18000 military Warn, so the...

I found a good deal on new 395s so I moved up the timetable on those. They came with Hutchinson aluminum wheels which is also what I was after. I had them shipped to my office, which has a loading dock... Then loaded into the deuce to drive home. Front end loaded on tractor allowed for...

Good catch! The pull bars are turn buckles, so I can change the length just enough to stow them and connect to the lowest position of the hitch. Getting that geometry to work was the trickiest part of all this. The pintle is now spaced out 3/8 from it's original position (the stuff I put in...
