    Best for thinning WMO

    What are you putting this mix in? I'm going to be trying a mix in a 925A2 soon, or is this a deuce?

    Best for thinning WMO

    I use gas. Haven't noticed any separation problems. I want to cut the oil's viscosity as much as possible.

    Winch problems

    It is on the right side of the truck just forward of the pump, mounted to the aft bracket that holds the passenger side step. Got one of the push-pull cables that lead from the cab attached the forward side at the spool valve.

    Caster adjustments to suit 11.00X20 changeover

    Anybody got something to share on shims? Pretty sure that is the problem but would like some input about what shims were used. Toe is already set slightly positive.

    Caster adjustments to suit 11.00X20 changeover

    I recently put 11.00X20 radials on the deuce. It rides smoother for sure, but has the same symptoms that others have noted: a poor return to center and a squirrely feel to the steering. The steering system is tight so it's not a parts issue. I'm pretty sure it is a caster problem. As in there...

    power steering Failed

    You might need to pull a vacuum on the system to get all of the air out of it. Couldn't get mine to work worth spit. Was humming and jerky in the assist. Hooked a vacuum pump up to it and Voila! All is well. Did take another quart of fluid though.

    M923A2 Fuel Filter Change Nightmare

    I was using this thread to help find out why my truck quit. It was losing prime sitting still and would cut off idling in the driveway. I got a schrader valve and added it to the fuel cap, put a little pressure on the system and found this hole on the bottom side of the filter that was added...

    I screwed up... Broken IP.

    " but somehow missed the throttle linkage" Don't feel too bad. Did the exact same thing on a 925 A2 Sunday. Caught it before any damage though.

    winch swap from amg to harsco

    Tim, it's not clear in this thread whether or not you got the drive shaft you need. Did you get ahold of one? I am home through Sunday so I can pull that shaft. Need any other A1 parts? Once I get the winch and associated pieces, the tires (11x20) for my deuce, and whatever bits and pieces...

    2014 KAMO Rally Attendance thread, KS, AR, Missouri, Oklahoma

    I am in Tulsa for work and probably will still be here those dates. Unfortunately, my trucks are 1296 miles away, but I'm hoping that my schedule will allow me to get to the rally. Would be great to meet some fellow addicts and maybe catch a trail ride with someone. Hope to see everyone there.

    winch swap from amg to harsco

    Tim, I won't be home for at least three weeks.

    winch swap from amg to harsco

    So you and I should get together on the shafts. I need yours and you need mine. What kind of a time line are you looking at? I'm out of town at the moment but should be home in about three weeks or so.

    winch swap from amg to harsco

    What is the difference in the shaft length? Longer, shorter, how did you solve it?

    winch swap from amg to harsco

    Sorry. The bolt in part in the center of the cab against the firewall. They are different in the A2 because of the different engine.

    winch swap from amg to harsco

    That is exactly what I am doing with two five tons. It looks like the differences may be with the control towers inside the truck and the length of the cables. Fortunately I am using the cab from the older model including the doghouse so those issues should be ok. If you can, get the doghouse...

    Post your H45 heater setups

    @Wildchild: Yup to the WMO. Thinned it 80/20 with gas and it works just fine.

    wmo mix sticky or thread

    Hey fellas, just so you know. I've run an NHC250 in a 925 on a mixture of 50/50 diesel/WMO mix no problem. The mix was 80oil/20 gas with the oil settled filtered to 5 microns and then centrifuged. Ran just fine, well enough that I wanted to try a more oily mix til my A2 5ton got here and I...

    Fully immersing water heater element in WMO

    An old fuel oil tank is not hard to come by. Steel and bungs already there.
