Check your grounds for the marker light circuits. There should be star washers there to help complete the ground (at least there are on our Canadian Deuces).

Things (good or bad) always happen in threes. Rad and fan, beer fridge, and stereo. Your three are done, so now on is clear sailing (should). By the way, great build and videos!

I have seen people do miracles with a hammer, screwdrivers, pliers, tie wraps, and gun tape. But at the opposite end of the spectrum, some out there could not replace a tire with the entire contents of the Sears tool catalogue. It all depends what you are comfortable doing yourself. I would...

It is made by General Motors Diesel ( as it says on the valve cover). It appears to be a 2 stroke 4-53 engine. I tried both NSN's but no joy. Small engines like this could be used in water pumps, generators, even small vehicles. What it was used for specifically, I don't know.

Last picture, I believe you meant to say radiator support and not firewall. How thick were the plates welded to the frame?

When I was still in the service, I would jack up one wheel at a time and remove the drive flange ( or drive axle for the rears). Then I would adjust the pads so that when I gave the wheel a good spin, it would make approximately one complete rotation after I let it go. I would then road test it...

Hi Awesomeness. No, I have not even seen them before. But being completely weatherproof is definitely a plus for Canadian winters. Thanks for the link and the info!

Greetings fellas. Question for you two: Is the box of the charger sealed against water and dust infiltration? I personally find the chosen locations you used are ``exposed`` to the elements. Up here in Canada with our winters and all the salt that is laid down on the roads, I would mount it...

As Fatalid said if it is the outer seal, very straight forward to fix with basic hand tools. If it is the inner, that is a whole other story. If you`ve never worked on them, find someone that knows how to do it (like other members on this Forum) and watch closely on how it is done. And of...

Up here in Canada, all of our Deuces had power steering installed at the factory. The steering box was made by TRW Ross gear division, model HFB52. The steering column was the same as the American version, if my memory is correct. You will need a special mounting plate on the outside of the...

Hello from Montreal, Canada!

Hey McBigIron. You are going to have a steep learning curve ahead of you. As snowtrack said, find someone locally in your area to do the servicing. While they are doing it, keep your eyes and ears open. Watch, if you can, and learn how to the basic servicing. And most importantly, read the...

Hello McBigIron and welcome to the forum. As for tooling, that depends on how comfortable you are at wrenching yourself. I have heard of some people being able to perform miracles with really basic tools and some others that could not fix their truck with the entire contents of the Sears...

That is a pretty clean setup. But like Rustystud said, it would be quite the load for one belt to handle. Our Deuces in Canada, known as MLVW (medium logistics vehicle wheeled) came from the factory with power steering. The compressor was driven by one belt, the generator by a dual belt setup...

I don`t think the deuce is Canadian because in the second picture you see the canvas rope tie downs. The Canadian version, if my memory was correct, had only the hard top.

That ration heater is a sweet piece of kit. If my memory is correct, they draw a fair amount of amperage, so make sure your wiring is up to the task.

Greetings from Montreal, Canada!

Welcome to SS from just outside Montreal. I have a 3 lever light switch. It is almost brand new. PM me to discuss details.

Greeting from Montreal, Canada!

How about oversizing the hinge holes on both pieces of the hinge, press in some stainless bushings, and used a custom made stainless steel pin and snap ring to hold everything in place. I think stainless steel is harder than the original steel on the hinge and it would never rust and jam up. My...
