    Any screens in injection pump??

    Just like gimpy said. When I removed the lever and found that it functioned fine from the outside, It was really sticky when removed. In fact you couln't move it at all with just your fingers. Once cleaned and reinstalled, It worked perfectly and the throtle responce is excelent. Who knew?

    Chances i broke my sprag

    Sounds like it just wound up some and it lets go when you change direction. Do it enough time and you will have pieces on the ground. That being said, it is probably okay. next time practice going the same distance in the same gear. ex. if you back up in low range for ten feet. make sure you go...

    Deuce Shifting Questions

    The deuce only has a little clutch. You are popping it and it is chattering and telling you that you are killing it. Go back and give the guy a thumping with my blessing. Either he doesn't know what he is talking about or he don't know how to explain it to you. (which I have been told is my...

    2012 MTA of No. Jersey Sussex Show

    No lanterns needed, Think of cow barns or Pavilions. Just a covered barn with no sides. Sure, it can get breezy and downright cold but you will be dry and there is plenty of light so you will see everything there is to see. Bill says no rain and the snow should be behind us now. Looks like...

    issue with 2.5ton

    Buy it. More people need to own Deuces. It dosen't make any difference what excuse you use to rationalize its purchase, as long as you get it home. Good luck with it.

    Deuce fuel gauge

    I also have no idea why they put fuel gauges in deuces or even five tons. I never trust them and keep a stick handy and a couple full fuel cans on board.

    Common Rain Leaks?

    Almost all the deuces and five tons we have had in the shop have rust issues right where the cowl and windshield frame meet. I would bet that if you took a wire brush and ran it along that joint wyou will find several pin holes. We have been cutting the entire cowl out and replacing the...

I been caught in rain before and it takes hours and hours to get things back in shape. I used the uprights from a set...
