Today the mail brought me a pleasant surprise, I got an envelope from GL signature required. I kind of knew before I opened it what it was. Enclosed is a very nice printed bill of sale and a completed, pretty, blue, State of Florida title for my deuce. In the morning I'll run over to the BMV...

Well, like the title says, I pulled the trailer up out of the yard today and started going over it to start it up. I had to remove the broken tank drain valve, just plugged it lightly for now so I can still drain it when the air pressure bleeds off some. Put a few gallons of gas in the tank...

I'm looking at picking up a few items in Oklahoma City. The price seems fair, but transportation is going to kill the deal unless I can find a way cheap enough. Time is not an issue, I'm in no hurry if I do decide to buy this stuff. I just can't take off for a week to go get it myself. Maybe...

Today I started to take advantage of the free time I have waiting for my clutch disk to be delivered. I installed my poor-mans (Cheapskates...for you drgreg) low air pressure idiot light. I know that they are only like $6 and change new, but I snagged the parts from the scrap yard for nuttin...

This morning I got started pulling my transmission to clean the clutch and flywheel after the transmission leaked all over the place from being overfull. BOY AM I GLAD I DID!!!!! There are people who said that it would be fine by just spraying brake cleaner in the access hatch and cleaning up...

Today I went to Canton Ohio to pick up a chain hoist from china freight for my impending transmission job I'm starting tomorrow. Since I was going up that way I figured I would call Adleman's Truck Parts and see if the had the clevis that connects to the remote control arm for the transmission...

I am planning on pulling the transmission in the deuce later this week to clean the clutch and bell housing up from my recovery mission. Currently the plan is to open the windshields and place a 4x4 across the cab and pull and lower the tranny with a 1 ton chain hoist. Then pull the flywheel...

Well, today I had to drive the deuce (The Stone Wagon) over to the BMV (Bureau of Motor Vehicles). Ohio is goofy about the name, I don't know why it's a bureau and not a department....anyway. My 30 day temporary tag expires today 7-1-09, Ohio requires an out of state inspection be performed...

Many of you probably have read about my adventure coming home from WI with an overfilled tranny. Thereby spewing 90wt all over the clutch. My plan is to just clean it up with some brake clean until I can get a new rear main and rear main carrier seal ordered in. Then I'm gonna drop the tranny...

Howdy all, I just brought the deuce home from Sparta WI last Tuesday, as some of you may have read. This weekend I figured I would go over the brakes of the truck and make sure everything checks out OK. I pulled all 6 hubs and inspected the brake pads and wheel cylinders. Happily, everything...

Hello, I started to rip into my brakes today on the new deuce. I figured I would do a thorough inspection before I tried to adjust and bleed to brakes. I pulled off the drivers side front drum and inspected everything, so far so good. I read on the forunm, when re-installing the drum and hub...

Hey all, Today I started looking over the deuce a little better and took out the 6tl's and put them on the charger. I also drained the air tanks. I drained them one time on the recovery trip, when I stopped to work on the clutch. Probably about 300 to 350 miles into the trip, out of 750. At...

Well, First off let me say thank you to drgreg for all of the help and being my point man, with steel soldiers on the way back. And thanks to the rest of the guys who offered help and advice with the clutch problems. We got onto Fort McCoy at about 0730, and I met Mike. To me, Mike seems like...

This wasn't really located in a salvage yard but I couldn't think of a better place to post it. Some of you may remember a few weeks back I posted someone selling a deuce tanker that I saw sitting beside the road. I have another vehicle for someone interested in a restoration project. I...

Hello all, I've been reading a lot of posts preparing to do my recovery in Sparta, WI here in a few weeks. I've read through the -10 TM and read, then read more, and finally read even more posts about the deuce. I've done a lot of searching but there are 2 nagging questions in the back of my...

Hey everybody, Thought I would post an update about my second MEP-003a gen-set. Initially I thought it just needed the blower (fan) on the back of the engine , and to straighten out the control panel, and replace the hour meter and amp gauge to get it running. I was wrong, upon closer...

Hello all, Tonight I won my first Deuce from GL. The sale was in Sparta, Wisconsin and I need to get it from there to outside of Cambridge, OH. Time frame is in about 2 weeks, I can stall for a while submitting the EUC, since they are going through so much faster now than they were, I expect...

Hi all, I'm relatively new to the forum, I only joined a few months ago. About the time I bought a couple of surplus generator sets, but I have been reading for quite some time. The more time I spend on here the more I think I've been infected by the deuce bug. From what I can see/read this...

Hi again folks, Yesterday afternoon, curiosity got the better of me and I decided to look into the control box assembly (the one on the side beside the fuel tank) on my second generator. Much to my dismay :cry: , Inside I discovered a few problems, I was hoping I could get some help and advice...

Hello all, I can't express my appreciation enough to all of the members out there who have posted information about the MEP-003a gensets in the past, both to my questions and to others questions. The information has been invaluable. Today, 1 week after I got my sets unloaded from the...
