If you are being beat by Deuce electrical then you should buy new and have another drink. Old trucks = bad grounds! bad connections! broken wires! crumbling insulation! Shorts. New car can have same issue if parked in a field for years. Mine is a 1971 and so far starter rebuilt, new alternator...
I don't know why but they ( Deuce ) tend to make everyone smile, wave, want pictures taken and of course ride in it. Your neibors will hate you. Kids will love you. And ladies like to ride in um. Good luck. Pictures please.
Wheel seal leaking so replace and repacked bearings. Top off all fluids. Washed 1/2 the truck. Used winch to straighten frame on mustang. Topped off fuel tank(ouch). Drove.
Install remote air tank drains. While down there I see I have 3 rear wheel seals leaking. Does it ever end. Win B-52 tire dolly with hopes of it working on the Deuce. It will with some small mods. I am so glade I won it. The thought of pulling all the tires again hurts my back. I am running...
1st run with Big Brute
Ok for the past 2 months we have planed a weekend camping trip with friends. I had hoped to take brute but issues with his brakes an flats dr it seam impossible. Jimmies Lakeside helped out with both and Brite could go and did. 16 of us had a great time in the NJ pines...
I have cut many races off spindles with a torch without spindle damage. It is a mess with lots of fire for a short time but can be done. The key is not to heat race to long and cut as soon as you can. All heat applied to race and blow till you get to spindle. The spindle should not be hot enough...
I wish she was show ready but she isn't. He is a work in progress and just when I think she is road worthy he throws a curve ball. In time maybe. Pulling wheels to check is a must.
I used Ford tractor oil from Tractor Supply and am not happy. Truck is very hard to get in gear moving or sitting. Sinkcros go in but not gear. Will be changing to motor oil next in trans. Oil did not need changing but I installed PTO so I put new oil in. GL1 but what weight? TS oil must be to...
2 nd gear high range and you think the 460 is going to give more wheel speed, no way it has no torque on the lower rs you will have to bild that 460 up make a strokes out of it and rehear deuce to match. Fix rat, check valves, injectors and install pyro then adjust fuel. Just keep an eye on the...
Don't hit the threads. Smack the side of the arm with a heavier hammer on opposite side. I leave the nut on loosely protecting the threads in case I miss.
Look, lock rings waskers get used once. Remove and throw away. Replace cups and cones as new sets, they are ground to fit together. Always pack the seal lip with grease. Also a tight bearing will burn up, a lose one will run forever. Small amount of play will go away when bearings warm up. If u...
Ran big brute 60 miles yesterday. First real run. Stopped for fuel and did a walk around and a tail light is out. Brought her home and wanted to do brake adjustment. Jacked left front up and wheel moved sideways. Pulled apart found outer axle nut completely off and inner on three threads. Pulled...
Busy this week. The following is done, PTO, trans oil change, toolbox mounted in bed, solargizer installed along with new battery box. Not to bad for being sick.
I am new but have a tip. Always let the copilot help u drive any vehicle. Four eyes are better than two. Work out communication such as "clear right". If you use go it can get mixed with no. When backing us the spotter outside truck or car. Back in whenever possible. Yes that car is pulling out...
