. Good Luck hunting for REO 330 (Comet) Motor Parts. We had started having trouble finding parts back in the 80's. White Owl (Kinston, NC) might have a few parts laying around. What we ended up doing was installing 300ci In-Line 6 Cylinder Industrial Ford motors in our REO's. They bolted up...

. Yes Sir! The ground rod driver that we had built at Bouligny would do that... Punch the ground rod into the ground, test, and keep screwing more lengths to it. Eventually an end would stick up in the air waving like a flag on a pole... The guys would get their bolt cutters and hack it off...

. Not sure about the Governor Control Unit, but there is a thread on rebuilding the Holly. https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/holly-carburetor-model-885-ffg-tm-9-1826d.223601/

. Looks good to me! $500 or $650 either or is a great buy. Especially if it starts and runs...

. Looking Good! Amazing how the work happens so quickly...

. Yes it is! Its tough though... I bought one 40 years ago. $18.95 back in the day.

. Hi @Plasa , I don't know for sure, but touching your "drip point" and smelling the oil might help your diagnosis. I am guessing that it won't be hydraulic fluid. Although, the hose connector may well be leaking too. The point of the drip for that may not actually be dripping though... It...

. Well... I think they look just fine as you built them. It would be neat if you could cut out holes in the rims - but that will take a lot of time. Honestly, I am not sure the time would be worth the effort...

. I am really loving this Deuce... Looks sooo neat!

. Since we are shooting in the dark - what about getting yourself a can of Either (Starting Fluid)? Crank the truck, then spray the left side of the motor. Then around back and down the right side. If you find a vacuum leak, the motor will speed up... Cheap way to hunt a really odd problem.

. Sounds to me like the pump will be just fine. You replaced all the tubing from the tank to the motor - if I remember correctly? 1/4 inch to 5/16 isn't going to matter. If you were guzzling fuel like back in the day when I was racing - yeah. That might be a problem but you won't have that...

. Agreed!

. And the sad part is that they loose it for a week. Then magically they "find" it again - all over their system. Heck, I am not even getting marketing mail in my home mailbox. For over a week, I open the lid, look in, and NOTHING. Just a brief rant. We are in "substitute hell" on my home...
