    15.5's wow what a difference W/10" rim build

    Some yahoo in Fla. has them. I think a Ga. Redneck near Helen has some too! How much are tubes and flaps for the 15.5 tires? Anyone have a source for 14.50R20's? they should be the same height as 1100's and run on a 10" rim.

    Hydraulic Dump Bed and Winch?

    Ryan I believe the pumps put out the same pressure. What you need to look at is the cylinder. The larger diameter the piston, the more the cyl. will lift at a given pressure. You can use almost any commercial pump and hoist assy. The military stuff is just civvy stuff painted green in the case...

    15.5's wow what a difference W/10" rim build

    If you can find riveted wheels to cut in half, they are easier to get the centers out of then the fully welded ones. I would use welded wheels for the ones you were leaving the centers in.

    Hydraulic Dump Bed and Winch?

    Ryan Electric/hydraulic pump would be easier. Find an old 24 volt forklift in a scrap yard or GL and rob the parts/ Get the proper solenoid valves (if you can find an old stand up lift or reach lift they will already be there). Buy a hoist pendent, they are a nice size, and have 2-10 push...

    Mystery towbar adapters

    Bjorn Not sure what they fit, but I milled one down to fit and made a bushing for the hole. It now resides on my medium towbar.

    Mechanical oil pressure guage

    I wonder if they went to electric gauges to keep the lines from fracturing from the vibrations?

    Mechanical oil pressure guage

    Pressure gauge is a pressure gauge. You can use an air pressure gauge for oil service. Of course if it leaks a bit....... you'll have oily feet.

    400 hz

    You can use the 400Hz stuff for incandescent lights. I believe flourescents will digest it as well, and produce less hum and heat. If you are making DC, a 400Hz generator would be nice.

    CARC Paint

    The military (at Albany Ga. ) uses a wash primer (dilute phosphoric acid) followed by a 2K high solids white high build primer. Then they top it with 2K waterborne CARC.

    Singling the Deuce, bearing and brake service...

    Ryan Are the shoes riveted or bonded? As long as you have 1/16" beyond the rivet surface or more, you are good for quite a while. If your bonded shoes are .125" or more at the thinnest part, you are also OK. However, if you want new shoes, KCGonzo always has them on E-Bay, I think they normally...

    Medium towbars one fat

    The towbar can be made in shop class. The hardest thing would be the lunette ring, and that could be machined out of a piece of really heavy wall pipe, or a piece of 1 1/2" plate. I would make it fixed for bumper towing a deuce, I would guess the only reason to extend it would be to use axle...

    Another new deuce owner!

    Some bases have to drain all fluids, so be prepared to fill everything up. Then again, you may throw in a pair of betteries and drive home. Wish you luck, if you need anything, just ask. There are members all over the country who will lend a hand.
