If I was going to use this truck on the highway I'd look into lockout hubs. While there are some marginal fuel, and wear benefits with the hubs, they need all the help they can get when a hill comes into view!

Yes, that is entirely possible, but what has leaked out is not milkey, and I've had the truck always under a tarp when not in use. I have not drained it yet, but will next time I'm there. When I got it from the USFS it was sitting under a tree for years. I could tell they never used it, because...

I have a farm Deuce. Has anyone mixed up a pudding in the front diff like is often done with jeeps? I've also thought of using a 140wt as this truck won't be used in the winter. This truck was overfilled, and the leaking oil looks thin. I'm not surprised it went past the seals. Some still came...

Thanks for all that information!! This tractor is about an hour from home so being prepared as much as possible is important. Like when we picked up this tractor I brought a 13/16" spark plug wrench that was too small, and couldn't soak the engine like I wanted. I did drain a little water from...

Did the W4 & H have a dip stick on the engine? I'm still amazed at the lack of one on this tractor. Can you tell me about the braking system? Thanks

It doesn't have the 3 point hitch, it has a spring loaded pintle hitch so the trailer load is cushioned on take off. I have not seen anything like it with a pintle hitch before, but I don't think I've seen a pintle hitch on a tractor before either. It does have a power take-off.

here is the data plate.

Trying again with pictures.

The tractor doesn't look like much with the mangled hood along with the radiator and grille missing. From what I've found is those items as well as many others were also used on the W4, and maybe the Farmall A. One of the more unusual things about it is the engine doesn't have a dip stick. There...

My son took some pictures. I'll have him send me them over soon.

I bought this at auction. The only bidder against me was the scrapper. It looked very rough, but not as bad when I got it home. Engine is stuck, and so is one brake. 2 tires are rotted off. We had to drag it up on the trailer. I need to find out how the brakes work on this tractor. It looks like...

I've been there, and that is out in the middle of no where. Quite a long drive to anywhere. There used to be a guy that did pickups out of there from Susanville. Is it at Gov Planet? You might ask them. I was there last month, but shipping a tow bar to SW Florida, I don't think would be worth...

I will be doing the job, so I won't have that expense, but any driveline work would need to be farmed out. I've read that the pinion shaft is different, but I don't know if there are crossover u-joint parts that work for both. I'm going to call around to some driveline shops to find out if...

The only time on the road that I would be in 4x4 would be if it's snowing. I'm wondering if the rear would push the front? In the past it was very capable on a snowy road. Is it a direct swap? Driveline work is expensive around here. Thanks

My 10 bolt rear is bad, and I found a 12 bolt from a late 70's pickup(1977 I believe). It has a 14/43 tooth count. Practically the same as the 10 bolt 13/40 count. Will I have any problems with u-joints, and driveline length? Are the perches in the same spot as the M1009? Emergency brake cables...
