My front differential seal is leaking, the seal (part# 18 on figure 79 20p)
is on the front side of the differential on the front axle. The oil is getting slung by the companion flange dirt deflector and further sprayed by the fan and spraying oil every where. Has anyone changed this seal...
Has anyone addressed changing the other water/coolant hoses on the Deuce multi-fuel? In addition to the upper and lower radiator hoses there are a couple of short hoses on the right side of the engine that are short straight rubber near the manifold. I havent seen these for sale. Any ideas?
be careful, refer to the 10 series (operators) manual prior to using your winch. You will do more damage to your truck if you do not perform the PM on the filters, fluids, grease, axle boots, bearings and brakes since these trucks usually sit for some time before we get them back on the road
if you want/need to rebuild your air pack the instructions are contained in TM 9-2320-209-34-2-1section 3 Hydraulic brake system. First I would lubricate the air pack by removing the plug on the rear of the airpack and squirt a few drops and replace the plug.
I arrived at Marksgarage2's place around 9am. We removed the old steering box without removing the radiator or sliding the engine to the right. Yes, it can be done thanks Gene! Pictures of the trashed steering box innards and the proccedure to follow thanks again Mark for your help.

I do not have pictures of the tow bar mounting but maybe one of the other guys on the trip has a shot taken as we all were working on the steering box. It is a home design. I used solid steel round stock. I drilled 3 holes in the top of the bumper to allow the round stock to be welded to the...
Thanks for the reply. I picked up a take off replacement from Murray's and will remove the old studs that held it to the frame and clean it up as required. I hope to be at Marks this weekend.
Bjorn, the only trouble I had was about an hour before the wheel stiffened up alot and we noticed the steering column had moved at the dash connection. We loosened the clamp and slid the column back to the paint line and it was back to normal. The real problem surfaced when the box gave out...
Well, this was my first outing with the Deuce. Met a great bunch of guys. Unimogs are awsome vehicles. We climed some hills with ruts and such. Had the Duece articulated (didn't know the rear wheels moved that much) We went swimming and in the mud. Ended the day with a broken steering box...
