David, As usual your assessment is spot on and I can't add anything beyond your comments.

Good info. Thanks houdel and ccatlett. By the way catlett, your avatar animation is disturbing to me. I always scroll down to avoid seeing that stick man burn!

Thanks for all the info. I'll try Interstate--I know they have a local retailer. Also, when I rebuilt my battery box, the terminals were coated in a brown (coppery color) goop. When I reinstalled the batteries, I cleaned that stuff off. Now I've got oxidation on the terminals. What was that...

Can the 6TL batteries (or civilian equivalent) be purchased locally? If so, what's a good source? Also, how long do you expect these batts to survive? I only drive the truck once a week.

I thought the same thing, but mine turned out to be a simple adjustment. I used TM 9-2320-209-20-3-2 (page 13-146). Follow adjustment instructions there. Good luck. Steve

Scott, I'm mighty grateful for your kind offer! I've gotton some other leads in my local MV club and by others on the SS site. If they fall through I may just take you up on your offer. Thank you again! Steve

I had the same problem. I'd check for obstructions in the reservoir as Ace suggests first. My problem was that the push rod was adjusted incorrectly and prevented pressure release. Follow the instructions in the TM for proper adjustment--they are informative and simple to perform. Also, as...

Okay. Thanks.

I was trying to acquire a medium towbar for my truck. I noticed that Austin Aviation on ebay sells them for about $500. Is this a fair price? I figure another 100 bucks or so in shipping--seems kinda expensive. Any thoughts or opinions? Steve

Sermis, This is a good group to talk to about military commo equipment--they could hook you up! Literally! http://www.fairradio.com/ Steve

RE: Thx for the info FT, Could you elaborate on identifying the turbo type by the exhaust? I don't see a V? Thanks. Steve

I just turned the one the man told me to.

Doghead, The screw is a piece of threaded rod. It is found to the right (rear) of the injection pump (where the lines leave it). There is a "valley" there with a triangular cover held on with two 7/16ths inch hex head bolts. Mine were wire tied with a lead seal. Remove the wire tie, remove...

Well, the adjustment worked! I went out this morning and she fired right up and went to 825 rpms and ran smooth. No rough idling, no need for throttling it to keep it running. I think I'll turn the fuel down one flat at a time over the course of several days to get it as close to the original...

With all these admonitions against turning up the fuel without a pyro, I have to ask. Anybody ever personally see an engine tacoed by turning up the fuel? And, what did the military do when they adjusted the fuel rate? Certainly those settings were adjusted by someone, otherwise, why have...

Several members have had a similar problem of hard starts but after goosing the throttle a little the engine resumes a normal idle RPM. I couldn't find the original post. To refresh memories. After sitting overnight, my deuce fires up quickly (less than a revolution). However, it would run...

I'd like to do the same thing. Leaks like a sieve!

RE: Re: winch use Many thanks. Steve

Okay, I've looked at the -10 (to satisfy that tomato guy--hopefully) and I can't find what position the drum lock should be in when NOT using the winch. Should it be engaged (ie no drum movement) or disengaged (drum movement)? Thanks. Steve

Many thanks! I'll get a hose on it. Will anything do?
