I am not aware of who would carry it . Just to follow up on my problem , I took my lower sleeve plate and done as Gringeltaube stated and had the thickness reduced at a machine shop . I can't remeber the measurement now but it was bowl shaped on the bottom , if memory serves me right it was .012...

Yes , there will be some spinning even when going straight due to the gear ratio to the front but is should be a slow speed spin for any situation I should have it in so I think it should hold up alright . For the most part the front will be staying engaged .

Well some of you may remember me having issues with my sprag shifter and then my sprags themselves . Well I took them all apart again and decided to leave them out this time . First pic is the tools I used for the job . Second pic is half done and the third is ready to go . By grind the teeth...

I am somewhat embarrassed as my wife refuses to quit picking on me about my deuce being stuck in 4" of snow on basically a flat level so... does anyone happen to have some good sprags kicking around ? Could anyone give me some info on the "REB" kits that Memphis Equipment used to have or even...

I didn't pull the axle yet (too close to my wall at the moment) , it has the fork and ball style joint which itself looks to be in good condition and the stub feels good in the spindle bushing , I am going to pull the axle out far enough to have a look where the seal rides tonight . I think it's...

I can't find anything that tells me too much about the truck but the man I got it from told me it is a '63 Reo . I checked this with the wheel, hub and spindle all off , the .022" measurement may not be 100% accurate but it wouldn't be far off . Is there any other options I have at this point ...

The lower plate looks very good , just a slight wear mark . only thing it is only for a portion of the diameter , like the pin isn't 100% square to the plate . Being the plate looks pretty good I think I will go with a thicker spacer , I don't know if I trust a machinist around here with my...

So I got checking out the front end of my truck and noticed the driver's side wheel has movement up and down . I took everything apart to have a look at it and everything looks to be alright other than the steering knuckle being able to move vertically on the king pins . On the bottom there is...

Can anyone tell me how much clearance the steering knuckle should have on the king pins vertically ?, I bring the knuckle up tight on the bottom and the puck is recessed almost a 1/16" on the top . That side of my axle leaks pretty bad and I'm wondering if that 1/16" is enough to break the seal...

I'm not too sure about damaging the pump in the transmission if both tranny and transfer are in neutral and you shift to park , but as 1stDeuce said , with both in neutral your tranny output is spinning and when you shift to park it will start ratcheting the park lock and can come to a banging...

Everything was working fine before you done fluid/filters and lines ?

Steep , more like vertical , right off the charts . I found another shop close to me with the same one by Spicer for $75 which I thought was a little more reasonable .

Been trying to figure out the u-joint number for my forward rear shaft on my old reo deuce . I came up with a spicer # 5-115x from a local truck shop by the measurements I gave them , I am wondering if that is correct . He wants me to bring it in before he orders it because it is $250 . Someone...

Again I am not familiar with these multifuels , but running all kinds of different fuels , can the valves get bad for sticking ?

A poofing sound tells me there is at least one cylinder that isn't working as well as the rest , whether it be valves , injectors or compression . iI would agree on trying some diesel in there as well .
