@Dasgog - If you haven’t seen them yet, these threads may be helpful. They don’t address your locking hub question, but the are good resources nonetheless. Front axle seals and boots stepXstep Well, here it goes. Lot's of pictures to post and lot's of info to remember while I type it up...

@Menaces Nemesis .... Steak or Lobster? Come on... what did you eat off that engine?

I see three options: 1) Oily grease. NAPA bearing grease has done that to me. 2) Gear oil - seal is bad. 3) Break fluid. A bad wheel cylinder has done that to me a couple of times. If you are going to take the time to dig into it, replace everything. The parts are cheap enough. Here are some...

I had to take my shoes off... but I agree.

@lighten, Sir, that is an awesome build! What was your motivation? Are you in the recovery business, do you own the farm equipment that keeps getting stuck, or did you build this simply because you could?

The o-rings that came with the NAPA filters did not work for me. I purchased separate o-rings from NAPA (part numbers 5070 and 5131) as indicated in the Deuce parts quick reference spreadsheet. If you haven't seen that spreadsheet, you can check it out here...

But, I agree, it is a nice rig!

Did you buy separate o-rings at NAPA or are you using the ones that came with the filters?

I’ve wondered the same thing. Thanks for asking the question!

Looking good, Sir!

I can think of one 220KAK 1960 vintage Box Van Trailer that is itching to get in the competition this month!

LMAO... I’ve been waiting for someone to mention the garbage dumpster!!! Depending on the picture you are looking at, you either saw the garbage dumpster or noticed the missing radiator. I’ve got a new radiator in my shop waiting for this project.

Thank you! Also, thank you to everyone that voted. I’m honored to have won this month. @Tracer, although I can’t commit on timing, I do promise to post under the hood pictures.

What kind of tires do you have? I’ve got Goodyear MVT 395s. I’m comfortable in the 60-70 psi range with an empty truck. I’ve read other posts where guys swear by lower tire pressures (~30psi). I tried that not long after getting my truck and it scared me. There was too much give in the tires...

Howdy from just north of Houston. Looks like you have a fun project on your hands!

That just begs so many questions about the society we live in today — all of which I’ll avoid in this forum. Instead, may I offer a suggestion... in lieu of protesting the color of the sky, why not protest vehicles painted anything other than OD, camo or tan!

Sir, I don’t want to highjack your thread, but I have the same mud flaps on my REO Deuce. I thought that was normal until I started meeting other Deuce owners (same thing with the box driver’s seat and wide front fenders).

First and foremost, thank you to everyone that’s voted! For everyone else, this is a reminder that you have one day left. Cast your votes! A Texas title came in the mail this week. It’s official, I’m the proud owner of a M810 WO/W. I know this because the data plate say so.
