Kenny Have Bjorn call me and let me know what day he will be back up. I would imagine Friday or Saturday.

There have been a few deuces pop up on E-bay in Fla. that went fairly reasonably. Don't get in a rush, the right truck at the right price is out there. I got mine for 3K$ and drove it home from Montgomery. You will find engines made by Hercules, Continental, and White. All are interchangeable...

If the pins themselves are worn, it is harder to repair. I would probably turn a sleeve to drive over the original stud and ream the bushing to fit.

Those pressure washer sandblaster setups work fairly well. They are definately less dusty than straight sand blasting! Get some Ospho, or metal prep. Look for a phosphoric acid based solution. The Phosphoric acid will convert the surface to iron phosphate, which is quite rust resistant. After...

Kenny Take your tank and put in about 30# of marble chips (from a landscape supply). Now, turn the kids loose and make them roll the tank around the yard 300 revolutions. Dump out marble. Wash out tank. Easier: Take the tank to a radiator shop that does large truck radiators. Their tank should...

Shoot, fix the XM211 and have 2 deuces!

I looked in Northern Tool catalog last night. Belt driven clutch type hydraulic pumps are around $430. Look like 2000 psi models.

There is a thread on this subject that is about 3 weeks old. Look in the deuce or modification forum.

Like I said, late night snatch and grab!

My wife thinks I am nuts because I like MV's, trains, and gunsmithing. I know she is nuts, because she married me knowing these things.

From what I have read, mainly from Bjorn (Cranetruck), Bypassing the FDC will give you the equivalent of turning up the fuel 1 turn. The military was doing this (supposedly) because if the FDC leaks, it can put fuel in the oil pan. I have also been told that this was to eliminate having to...

You would need a 5 ton wrecker, a full set of rear tires, and be able to get in and out in 10 minutes or less. This area is only 75 feet off the road through part of the Reservation. Heavily patrolled by AF Security Police. I was technically breaking the law walking around taking pics, but I...

My deuce came out of Fort Benning with these tires and wheels on it. The tires are G386 Radials IIRC. Rear hubs are flipped. Runs and drives great! If I ever find a full set of 1200 radials, I would probably run them just for kicks. The tires on mine have great performance in the rain, never...

If you can't download it, I'll send it to you via CD and snail mail.

Does anyone make one that looks like a deuce gauge? I would like mine not to look out of place. I already have a panel mount 0-15 PSI gauge for boost.

Rail fanning is where you stand over the rails and cool them down by fanning vigorously. Actually, it is a hobby of mine. I have been a railroad buff for years, used to sit and watch the afternoon freights go by behind the house when I was a kid.

Truck will not be able to move down the road with more than a sixpack of beer in the back!

Mark- Just watch your exhaust temps! You really need a pyrometer! I am going to turn mine up some, but the pyro comes first. I don't want to cook a piston.

Drilling the hot rivets does make them easier to remove. I have one front spring hanger that is bolted on, I would guess a field repair somewhere in the trucks life...

Xylene is very toxic, keep that in mind. I use a lot of really nasty, exotic, solvents in my line of work. Xylene and Toluene are pretty nasty. They also tend to annoy the neighbors with the smell. Mineral spirits work fine with alkyd enamels. If you are using an acrylic, or some other...
