    Tire Valve Extensions - OK to Use ?

    Thanks. I'm more interesting in something that will help me put a clip-on chuck on the outers, tho. Maybe a flexible extension that will clip onto one of the holes in the rim so the valve is now pointing parallel to the wheel?

    Tire Valve Extensions - OK to Use ?

    Good thread. Question: What could one use to extend and change the direction of the OUTER tire's valve stem? My setup is that I've got a regulator at the cab air supply and I just set my air hose with the clip on chuck on the stem and walk away. That's not hard to do with the inners as-is...

    drivers liscence, getting plates for a deuce?

    GVWR is defined as weight plus capacity. Not weight plus load. A deuce has a GVWR of something like 23k pounds. Empty or full, doesn't matter.

    drivers liscence, getting plates for a deuce?

    I don't live in Pennsylvania... however, I believe many, if not most, of the States have the same rules regarding Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and combined gvwr limits. At least in Texas, the deuce by itself does not meet the minimum GVWR of 26k for a CDL. The truck has an on-road rating of 10k...

    LED interior lighting?

    Wired her up with 5 amp fuse at the battery, switch, and 5k ohm pot. It works! For mounting, I think I'm going to use my cnc to cut mounting positions for the pot and the switch in a piece of plywood and then bolt that to the tub where there's already a hole. The diagram on the pot was...

    Leak behind dash? Dripping off the front axle shift lever? Read here.

    That I do not know. I just swapped the unit that bolts to the dash. That was the valve that was causing my issue.

    switch from LDT to LDS

    Not true. If the engine is capable of turning faster (which the LDS is) without blowing up, it will be able to turn the wheels faster. LDS has a max safe engine speed of 2800? rpm Deuce is 2500. That would make the max safe road speed 62.8 mph @ 2800 engine rpm 60 mph would be 2676 engine...

    Kipman's WMO pump works great!!

    Another option for a cheap, but powerful motor would be to buy an old used treadmill and gear it down to get your torque/speed requirement right. surpluscenter.com also has alot of good, inexpensive motors.

    New Guy from Austin Tx

    Welcome to the party! I have a surfeit of deuces and am looking to sell one. I'm about 3 hours south of Austin. Also, there's an excellent MVPA chapter in Austin. Their biggest event is coming up soon (Vet's day parade Nov 11). Several of their members are on this board.

    Deuce oscillating at idle--any ideas

    Well, according to the "operator" cartoon, you're supposed to idle it above 700 lest vibrations shake loose any fasteners.
