Good thing I didn't take pics of pulling the azalea bushes I'll risk it. Deuce comes in handy for a bit of landscaping. Two are pulling down trees at the neighbor's house. I have yet to find out how to pull weeds in the garden.

Brakes Thanks to the both of you. I am getting ready to do some front end work and I am thinking of redoing the front brakes to get rid of a pull to the right Any idea of prices relining vs new?

Are the brake shoes on a 35 the same front and rear? Where is the best place to get a set? Thanks

Any problem with... Any problem with starting out in 2nd low range and then going to high and then into the proper gears in the high range. My 35 starts off well doing this and picks up speed quickly. Any problems with this method? I unfortunately live in the city and this method works...

Coolant Leak You might try getting a cooling system tester (small pump that pressurizes cooling system) remove the oil pan and pressurize the cooling system. Look for leak running down inside of block. If its from a cylinder it might be a head gasket (best case) If it appears to be from a...

Part number Thank you Wayne for your help.

Can anyone tell me what this part number fits? PN 19207-10899410 Its a fender, passenger side appears larger than a deuce I looked on the part number cross reference but did not see it. Thanks

Yellow lights Seems like someone was trying to get rid of some a couple of months ago. Try a search using amber lights. If I remember correctly there was a thread on how to convert you deuce headlights to a more common 24 volt setup avaliable at NAPA (Lucas lights?) and I think one of the...

copper tube What is the copper tube that is going to the draft tube in some of the pictures? Something to do with a fording kit? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks

Low range Does it not go into gear? Does it grind when you try to shift it into low range? Can you feel the shifter clicking as it goes into or out of the detent (notch like feel similar to shifting gears)? Will it shift into low if the motor is not running? Please describe the condition...

Won't go into gear If its the transmission (as opposed to transfer case), one of the first (easy - no cost) things to check is the cluch adjustment. It the transmission is moving it might not want to go into first gear(hard to shift or grind) Does it go into 1st with the engine off? If it...

Soligizer You know your right, I forgot about that but once you mentioned it it came back to me. Still....if you happen to be going by yours with a volt meter it would be interesting to know. Thanks

What is the average voltage, at the battery, of a vehicle equipped with a Solagizer? Mine is sitting for the winter and the voltage at the battery is 24.9 volts (sun was out). That is about what it was when I put the Soligizer on about 3 months ago. Is this about normal? Before I put it on...

compression If you can find an engine manual or a knowledgeable individual check to see if there is a compression release on the motor that might be stuck or work in a fashion you are not familiar with. Some engines have a compression release which remains open until the cranking speed...

Blow-by An old truck is going to have some blow-by. What you might also be seeing is a lot of condensation (lot of short trips) making its way out of the engine as it warms up. I would warm the engine up by driving it for a bit. I would then take an oil sample (kits at NAPA) I would then...

Roads A bit of snow here in Columbus and Dayton, although if your from Michigan what we have here will be child's play. Good luck with the trip.

If you like me your getting a might forgetful nowadays, today as the Arctic blasts are descending on us here in Ohio it suddenly occurred to me that I didn't know if I had checked the antifreeze protection in the deuce. Thankfully I had and wrote it on the radiator in one of my previous...

Engine oil A word to the wise. I once put non-detergent oil in a car that had detergent oil in it before. After I did that it smoked like freight train on a 4 percent grade. I don't know why, being young and foolish I just got rid of the car.

oil filter Here is a picture of a spin on set-up for a Continental deuce engine. Notice it looks a lot like the pictures of the spin on Oliver in the ebay listing.

clutch If you think the clutch is slipping in 4th or 5th when you feel the vibration, floor it. If the clutch is slipping the engine speed will increase much faster than the trucks speed. Does it vibrate when the truck is moving at the speed you experience the vibration with the motor...
