My intermediate axle has lost the pinion preload and given me a vibration. I've done about 800-900 miles in the past five days and the bearings have not burned up on me and it hasn't gotten any worse so I'm fairly sure the bearings are not bad, just lost the preload. I understand that this is...

I recently made a new friend who has interest in owning a deuce, but he has a problem. He was wounded on a battlefield overseas not too many years ago and lost his right leg. I didn't ask how or where, those details are not important. He rally wants a deuce, A2 model but can not work the clutch...

For those of you who may need to rebuild your transfer case pto: Front and rear bearings: Timken #342 Races: Timken #332 output seal: T.b.d when I get it cleaned up and cross the numbers mounting flange gasket: Surplus, same as t-case bearing cap gasket. Mine sat for a very long time unused on...

Anyone happen to know what the opening pressure, and fully open pressure settings on the factory fuel pressure relief located on the secondary fuel filter housing is? I finished my spin on filter setup and installed it today, used an aftermarket pressure relief valve recommended by Rustystud...

Simple question I'm sure one of you guys knows off the top of your head. What is the thread pitch and size of the fuel supply fitting in the inlet of the booster pump? I'm gathering parts to build a new fuel filtration system and I need to get a new fitting to plumb 1/2" dot poly tube to the...

I've been looking at the FH234 series filter setups online and they look very promising. I'm betting they are quite pricey but I can't seem to find a price for any of the units listed anywhere. I would like to put one of these on the deuce if they are as good as the literature suggests and they...

As I mentioned in another thread, I adjusted my valves a couple days back and got one wrong, so I went back in and fixed it today. While I was in there I decided to run the engine without the valve covers installed to make sure I had no valve clatter again and check clearances after a short run...

So, I have this LDS-465-1a in a frame section sitting in my shop that I have been working on to get it ready to go into my shop. A few weeks back Welldigger came down and walked me through replacing the HH orings and we unstuck the shutoff lever while I was in there. Since then I've removed the...

I have a couple of 600 gallon fuel pods that I keep full of fuel here and I've never had any issues doing so until recently. Usually I can open the top and see all the way to the bottom. The fuel is normally clear as water with a slight amber tint, and you can see what water is on the bottom if...

Anyone else have problems using the outer hub seals from Newstar? I was going through one of my hubs today and I put it together and snugged up the inner nut, the locating tab sheared off of the seal. I know I've read of people having this problem before but I don't think it was the Newstar...

I picked up a 934A0 for a fella and the water pump was locked up. I've got the new pump, but I was not aware that a tool was required to rotate the pump in order to tighten the belt. Anyone got one they could mail to me, and I'll send it back in short order? I don't want to buy one, probably...

I was at NAPA today and was informed by the counter man that they now sell led headlights like the ones on my truck. He showed me a sale brochure and, as it turned out they were the JW speaker headlights. They are the 7" round multivolt lights. They don't have the military wire connectors, but...

I must admit that I am a bit of a night owl... Sometimes I crank the deuce late at night and sit outside just to hear it run, sometimes I run into town late or very very early. People up to a mile away say they can hear my truck when it fires up, but it doesn't bother them. But I almost feel...

As I mentioned I another thread, I would admit if I was wrong about my truck running 60mph with only 11.00r20s and no other mods. Well, after Welldigger and I took a test run monitoring speed with his GPS it turns out I was in fact wrong. At 2300rpm, which is where I though I was running 60, I...

Fortunately not on the truck I drive every day. I have an engine with so few hours on it that the paint still hasn't burned off the turbo or exhaust manifold. Problem is when I pulled the cab off of the truck we I was scrapping here I cut everything but somehow missed the throttle linkage so...

Alright fellas, I have two Lds465-1a motors mounted in sections of deuce frame that I need to run like they are because one of them is going into my truck at some point. These engines still have the cooling systems and everything in tact, so I should be able to run them for a while. The main...

Ok guys, this isn't speculative, it is in fact happening. I have a couple of gun rings as well as a couple of other small parts that I need to get over to Fuzzytoaster. I also have two tires that I picked up from Polk for member Plumkrazy, also have some business to do with mkcoen, and M715mike...

Ok, My mite has the M38 windshield frame upgrade and it is rusted out. I need a new windshield frame but I need to know if it is a frame from a regular m38, or an m38a1? I'm going to order a new repro if the price is right and I don't want to order the wrong one.:roll:

Starting this simply for informational purposes, I am not looking for any particular mite. Since nobody really knows how many of these are still around it would be good to see what we have in the membership here collectively. My new Mite: 1961, m422a1, Sn1580 complete with full fording kit not...
