Just seems like it would add to the longevity of the parts not over stressing them in a press or worse hammering them together. Any tricks/tips for getting the old bearings off the shaft?

Great save! There can't be many gasser versions left around of this model. I think there is a web site called G749 if my memory is correct. It an older version of the M35/44 that had gas engines I believe. Perhaps they can provide some options for common maintenance items.

I recently took my passenger side off as the window crank had fouled up and jammed the window half open. Did not want to guillotine my hand in the access hole. Anyway, I PB'd the door hinge screws on the cab side, took a brass drift to the head of the screws for a while, then rotated...

Now that is a cool trailer. Looks very useful --tools-welder-camper---sweet! our local forestry stuff goes thru an annual auction at the state forestry department. a number of large out of state supply houses with deep pockets attend. Its amazing how much late forties/early fifties stuff is...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! I know mine is a beast at times but she still puts a smile on my face. Sometimes just looking at her. I imagine its the same for you. Enjoy. She will need things from time to time, especially your time. Lots of resources here to make it educational...

Great job of sealing and painting. Those seem like such great trailers as a concept. The weight is a killer but goes with the strength needed to haul pallets of ammo I suppose. I would think a quarry could use one for hauling big blocks of rock. Adding a K-boom would make it a killer app...

I agree with Rusty--good job. The photos helped me follow you as well--thanks. I liked your using the trucks Kboom to help in the process. I imagine you positioned the K boom before shutting the engine off for the last time. The hydraulics must lock up pretty solid when you shut down-- ie no...

Have you tried any of your bulbs, without the spacer in the turn signal socket. I believe it is the same socket but only requires the light energy to exit the front of the bulb. I think the one in the TM is a slightly higher wattage than the dash lights. Just curious if you checked it out...

Howdy from Livermore Colorado. Love to see pictures of your vehicles. I have seen people recast certain rubber parts in a simple mold you can make from the original. If your interested I can see if I can resurrect the info. Not sure how they would hold up in high stress situation but should...

My bad. I re-read your original post including the trailer part. I guess I had a senior moment. Pretty long day for you and your friend. still a good score.

Great way to haul a mule. Do you know if it's wide enough for a "modern" army mule, side by side, too?

Nice little forklift. good score. I have a little "trucloader" model. it will only lift 1000 pounds, but turns on a dime and gives a nickel change. perfect thing for in the barn where you have to work around lots of equipment and junk. wheels and tires are too small to use outside on...

Really cool truck. Excellent to see this being saved. Are you working on a complete series of all the deuce variations?

Mine does the scary loud bang sound. Its a sprague. I live in the mountains and when I have it in low range it does not like going forward then reverse then forward very much. it is also much harder to steer unless you really need to work on upper body and back muscles. In high range it is...

As a cautionary note, most otc spray carb cleaners are pretty harsh on things like O rings and rubber seals and gaskets. If used, afterwards its best to clean/rinse with the fuel your using that is normally in contact with these parts. Not always easy to do unless you completely disassemble...

Howdy and welcome from Colorado! My herd keeps growing as well. Its challenging and rewarding though.

Thanks Rustystud. Always value your opinion. Guess I will start checking into a modern airdryer upgrade. Air is pretty dry up here in the mountains so its probably not a giant problem so far.

What are your thoughts about the alcohol bottle hooked to the compressor on a deuce? Not worth getting back to working condition? I drain my tanks and the fluid is usually clear, sometimes a tiny amount of black fluid included. Hardly enough to stain the driveway.

H@#% Yes!!! Rat Fink forever! I would say the artist nailed it. If posters go up for sale please post something here so we have an opportunity to exchange some cash for cool!

also, can you take a magnet past the gear cluster into the bottom of the tranny case and check for foreign material. something may be laying down there you can't see from above. Tranny fluid is not so expensive that you can't just change it out. drain it into something that lets you look at...
