    Oil Overfill - Possible Rear Seal Leak

    No, I don't believe that is the case, as the PO said he added oil because it was low. He simply didn't know how much oil to add and he put in WAY too much! (he thought it was an 8 gallon capacity, & he didn't allow for the oil to drain down to the crankcase before rechecking the level.) The...

    Tale tale signs of bearing failure

    I would probably only do this once every year on my MVs. BUT I already do this after every race for my race car engines. (but these engines can cost over $10K to build, so the cost is a very good investment!) Find a local race track or off-road club & you'll probably get a pretty constat...

    Holy cow I won one!

    Looks like you got a bonus Jerry Can mount on the rear wheel flap! I've never seen one mounted there before...

    Oil Overfill - Possible Rear Seal Leak

    AH! That makes sense!! Thanks!! :smile: (I was trying to understand why there appeared to be 2 bell housing drains... NOW it makes sense!)

    Sidewall Splits 15.5 80 R20

    Wow! I'd have to sat that either you got a bad batch, or you live under a leak in the Ozone layer, or your nosy neighbor who hates MVs is cutting your tires!! I think I'd get the next set from a different vendor/source. I'd guess that these weren't stored properly prior to you getting them...

    Bleeding the Master Cyc

    Thanks "nf6x"! That's what I'd assumed. Does this vent line route to anything else? (I know, I'll have to just crawl under and see where it goes...) Is it OK to leave it as is? OR should it be capped? (It has probably been this way for MANY years, but I just worry about a line that is...

    Bleeding the Master Cyc

    When I look thru the access panel in the driver's floor at the brake master cylinder I also see a disconnected hard steel line with a threaded fitting just to the passenger's side of the MC that connects to NUTHING. Is this supposed to be some sort of vent line for the MC? If so, where...

    What Tires/Yellow Wheels are on this Deuce ?

    I like how it looks! Appears to clear the fenders well, even when turning, & I like the wide-track stance. Wouldn't be great (or probably legal) on the street/highway, but probably great performance off-road!

    Oil Overfill - Possible Rear Seal Leak

    Yesterday I picked up a recently purchased M35A2 that I've purchased from a private party. The PO isn't very familiar with Deuces, and accidentally overfilled the crankcase with oil (it is approx 2.5" above the full mark (checked 5mins after running)). But based on what the PO told me it could...

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    I often wonder why no one has offered a dual-circuit brake upgrade kit for the single-circuit Deuces. I'd probably buy one! (Assuming it doesn't cost as much as another deuce...)

    Single reservoir master cylinder on deuces ?

    I believe that the dual circuit system is only found on the A3 series. Has additional booster(s), and also has a dual fill reservoir located on the firewall. I could be wrong but I don't think a dual-circuit system was ever installed (by Uncle Sam) on an A2 series. -Bear-

    my first deuce

    You just HAVE TO post pictures of the destruction!! We ALL hate it when things break, but I think that most of us enjoy a good "look what happened to me" story! -Bear-

    my first deuce

    Congrats on the new toy! Looks good! Make sure you install a good clutch assembly while you are in there. Might as well while you have the engine out.

    Deuce on the way!!!

    I'm sure you can find a tailgate from SOMEONE on here. That will be the LEAST of your priorities.... Just add it to the list!

    Georgia MV Title Problems

    IF one DMV/Tag Office can't handle an unusual title or registration you might be better served at ANOTHER DMV/Tag Office! Sometimes it is simply easier to find a smarter monkey than to attempt to educate the monkey you have! I agree that the DMVs can easily confuse the contract number & the...

    M135 Cdn MRT Rebuild The Beginnings...

    Nice Find! I've never seen one of those variants before! Memphis Equipment & Alpha Heaven are good sources for parts. Not sure if they'll have anything for the crane, but they might be able to point you in the right direction... "Cheers!" -Bear-

    any body looking for a m215 dump?

    TOO STEEP for me... fat lady sings Problem is that with newer Dueces selling on GL for around $2K (or less) it is hard for most people to justify buying an older truck with less power for more money. With G749 parts becoming scarce you could argue that a complete G749 series truck is...
