Welcome and looks like you first lesson was a good one. Also your Rockwell's might not have lockers but some MV's do. I do not know if they would have helped you out here. Anything can get stuck so carry a push rod and check the depth to the bottom if there is one.

Yea saw the same problem with the 5 ton hub seals long ago. Called CR and asked if they had the correct seal installer tool and they said no. I had this one made up by adding a ring of steel around the edge that lines up ok with the inner ring . Most seal installer tools put the pressure around...

Nice.

Yea I just ordered the whole kit and now I see what just the rubber hose did. The hose just runs from the fitting and up just the wire that goes under and up the inner fender to the electric connection. Would say it is there to protect the wire from shorting out and cause the horn to go off /...

Good call on the drive line. Mine was out of phase on the front shaft. Believe someone removed mine for some reason and pulled it apart and stuck it back together three splines off. Nice job someone but next time you do not have to pull them apart like you did and then put it back in the truck...

Nothing like a soft top. To tell you the truth any windshield that can be folded I love a soft top. On the Deuce or 809 series so much easer to pull it off and do transmission a R&R and the safety factor than working from the bottom. Still waiting on my antique tag but took it for a ride on my...

No there is not a copper gasket or O ring on the top of the head hex plug. One on the delivery valve.

No seal there no copper washer no O ring . You can try and remove it and polish both the head and the plug contour with one of those 3M ultrafine pads. Then before install of the plug turn on in tank pump and fuel will come out and push any trash out of threaded hole. Put the plug in maybe with...

Once again thanks to Harlen. Got the correct size belt for the alternator up grade and she again is charging. Put the maxi fuse holder in and waiting on my tags.

Pressures are a good thing to check when there is a performance problem . Thing is a Deuce will idle with the pressure relief valve wide open as it has been proven. There is another way to check if the main fuel control is set to low . You need a helper to hit the starter button or a remote...

Since your FDC is bypassed all fuel control is now adjusted by way of the main fuel control or the twin nuts. Myself when adjusting the twin nuts is use a black magic marker on one of the flats so I know how far or how many turns I have adjusted it. If you idle screw has not helped with...

Rear drive shaft front u joint was bad so got it replaced. Went to put some grease in the rear drive shaft rear joint before I installed the drive line and Thanks. Someone put the u joint in backwards and they must have said heck with it as the grease fitting not even installed. If you put them...

At the end of the steering box where the horn wire comes out there was just a little piece of rubber hose there. How far did it run up the inner fender well? seems like it would only have been able to go half way up the inner firewall to the electric connection. I would think it was for fording...

Yea the No Spin in the front with Overson hubs and air lockers in the rears or if they make a locker for the rear axles that is more forgiving than the No Spin. The 816's I left as is ( not bobbed ) both rears and both with No Spins did one heck of a job in the local mud pit called Hogwaller...

Yea all my USMC 816's had the No Spin just like the pictures of the Detroit No Spin. Even the one that came out of a 916 was much bigger but same looking as the ones on the 5 ton Detroit No Spin. When I bobbed two 5 tons I used the USMC axle with the No Spin. Guess through the years we started...

Also here is the Alternator Harlan recommended I try. So Far so good...

OK now just waiting on a new shorter belt. The stock arm does not have a curve in it so there is only about a little over one inch of travel to adjust the belt tension on this set up. The belt that was on mine was 54 inches and I ordered one that is 52 inches so we will see. I got the new pully...

I just sold my last NOS Detroit No Spin last year to a member at the Trenton Rally. I picked it up maybe 13 years ago at the Ga. rally . Maybe take outs from a USMC 5 ton MV. The Detroit No Spin that was first put in the MV's and most USMC were called Detroit No Spin Truetrac. The Truetrac name...

Yea no worries, with the Truetrac to much use on payment the sharp cornors will start to wear down.

Are you talking about the compressor control? Cats motors had them mounted on the compressor and A2 were on the firewall if I remember.
