I have had good luck buying flywheel bolts from my local Caterpiller Dealer.

Went to take the Duece for a drive the other day and during my pre-inspection, I noticed oil (or what I thought was oil) leaking from the inside front right wheel. Truck started right up but when I hit the brakes, nothing right to the floor. Now I now what the oil was. Anyway, I pulled the...

This is what I used, comes in handy for hanging other thing on like keys, etc. Bolts right to the dash! :tank:

On Saturday April 27th from 10:00am till 2:00 PM the Hampden Township Volunteer Fire Company is holding a Chicken BBQ and Touch-a-Truck Day where kids young and old can touch, honk, and climb on the many vehicles that will be on display. If you like trucks and cars then come on out for a great...

No winch needed, I just hooked a chain to the engine through a frame mounted tow point and through the d ring on the duece and backed up.

The local volunteer fire company that I belong too decided to take their engine down to the creek to practice "drafting". They went a little to far and could not back out. I recieved a call to help get them out. A little tug with the duece and the job was done. I was amazed that the duece could...

DITTO, change the fuel filters, look for leaks!!!!!

I had the oil cooler fail on my Mack Fire Truck, anti-freeze in the oil and oil in the anti-freeze. I presurized the cooling system and disconected the oil lines to the cooler. Anti-freeze poured out of the oil lines. Replaced the cooler and flushed the cooling system and changed the oil...

What was involved in converting 24v to full 12v. What was the major advantage?

Back to back Snowstorms equals 35 inches.

With the tire chains and the front of the frame, looks like they had a snow plow mounted on it. SALT BAD FOR PA
