Thank you both 73m819 and Timntrucks. I had this truck running fine until I had to move a Skidder with it couple days ago, and it was running out of fuel at the fuen filter. The issue could be ahead of the filters, like the line going to the tank. I work on it tomorrow. Thanks again, Phil.

hey73m819, while U R into the fuel system of 819, would U have the # for the fuel filter on a 818? cannot seem to find anything right now. My truck is lacking fuel so I thought I would put new fuel filter to start, Thanks , Phil

One of the best times I had was driving a TT and pulling a Cattle Car at MCB.Quantico and I had to pick up at OCS and haul some of our future Officers. This was back in 1970 and we had Internationals R200 tractors and several GMC 6x6s. I went as fast as I could go and I hit as many Bumps as I...

Hey guys, remember that the Original towbar was damaged when I made a turn Too Sharp in the parking lot. Had I not tried to Jump start the 818 at that time, all would have been OK,!!!???? This was a field repair job without the proper tools. No cutting torches, no grinder, no Nuts or bolts...

RE: Ok for pics?? This is a Prototype Towbar, that will not work again, until completely REBUILT! It looks like Crap, but it pulled the 818 500 miles into N.H..

RE: Ok for pics?? As the pics show, I went SO fast that my Top cover ripped apart on the Deuce! At least it covered the auxiliary fuel tank in bed of Deuce. Notice No auxiliary brake set up, or light cord. I got these Battery operated Flashers at a Truck stop in N.Y. and they Stick to back of...

There is a big factor in not using Overdrive in a Deuce or any other Low geared vehicle, Top speed in a Deuce is approx. 42mph. That is fine off road, but not highway or even secondary roads.

There are so many variables when considering MPG I believe a Deuce will average 10-12mpg with strait Diesel. What kind of roads are U running ol? Strait hiway like in the south,or hills and mountains in the north?? I get the same running Used motor oil at 30% diesel. Trans oil and Hydrolic oil...

Three vehicles came from NGs and they show a great deal of lack of PMs. With all the training and lack...
