Well, it finally happened. The deuce [and USN motor whaleboat] are in storage here in NO, and on the last weekly status visit to check things and run the truck I left the bleeding accessory switch on. aua What with weekly visits, the batteries ran down. Pulled 'em for recharging, and the box and...

So, I have about 8K in the back and will be towing about 8K. How much additional heat should I expect in the hubs...Tucson to New Orleans? Rebuilt brakes, new seals and boots, cleaned and re-packed or replaced bearings [w/0.04-inch shims] last October. ~2600 highway miles since then. Tucson...

:?: Anyone know what size 13486 is used for the trailer harnesses? I want to cobble together long leads for a boat trailer [w/rear composites] and need to know what size wire to get. Deuce and trailer are 1450 miles away; cannot inspect/measure. I have the 70-in cable from Erik's and want to use...

1. Suffering from floppy handbrake. Missing the jamb nut on the outer-shoe adjusting bolt. It's item #1 on frame 3 of TM 9-2320-209-3-2. Calls for an 11/16 wrench. Anyone know the size/pitch? 2. Even w/o the above jamb, I can get the outer shoe to spec. Good start, but the jamb would be...

TM 9-2815-210-34P shows just a pipe plug. Anyone know why this stopcock was installed?

Heading out tomorrow...Tucson>Florence, Or>Tucson. During pre-road-test checkout yesterday found one headlight dark. :-( Anyone have a suggestion as to where I might pick one up enroute? Route is flexible; plan on driving largely daylight hours anyway, but one never knows. Another thought...

Yet another question! Replacing the front axle-to-wheel brake hoses. The upstream fitting from the steel line to the tubing fitting was frozen on one side. Soaked it for 1.5 days w/Blaster [wrapped w/soaked cloth]; no go. Ended up using the vice grips to get it off. Considering...

In re-installing the tie rod I find that when I get the nut on about three threads worth the rod end starts to spin. This happened on the driver side; only. The threads look ok, best I can tell. I'll haul it into the light later to verify. ['Shop" photo explains the light statement] Am I...

Looked through knuckle threads and didn't find what I seek. In cleaning one of my steering knuckles I note that the stud threads are somewhat boogered up. I removed all of the nuts w/o a problem, but some were a bit stiff coming off. Best I can tell, the studs have 3/8 x 24 threads. Can...

I picked up these cylinders for doing someone a favor. Anyone know what they fit on? The smaller one reads: '19207/7412065 MFR (3BOY2)' on one side, and 'U' on the other. The larger has: 20 FD-21089 ORD.-8720486 218-3 C on one side and '?WARNER? ROCKWELL...

On Sunday I fly to Huntsville to pick up a deuce...1973 AMG w/o w, ht, canvas, out of the Ky NG. Looks pretty good in GL photos. A shop there has changed fluids, filters and batteries, and generally 'laid on hands'. No problems have surfaced so far, based on multiple conversations with the...

I find that, while perusing the astounding volume of threads found herein, I am repeatedly having to log in. I noted something about timing out in a thread in '05. What's the current drill? Can I re-set a default or something? I spend a remarkably amout of time on the site as...

Gents, My '73 deuce is off the Arsenal [EUC to BC 03 May, notified 12 Jul] and in a shop for a comprehensive scrutinization and laying on of hands. Seems it started first pop with a jump and drove to the shop sin problemas. Let's hear it for clean living and blind luck!. [thumbzup] The...

Cosidering 3 recovery alternatives: 1-check fluids, brakes, lights, tires, leaks, etc and head out; 2-get it towed to a local shop for a hopefully competent look-see and requisite PM, then head out; or 3-have it delivered. Re #1, I just need to be faIrly certain that I touch all the bases...
