Does that config have a pilot bearing? That's a 'gotta do' while you're in there!

Does anyone know what the side rails/troop seats are made of on my 70/90 (Tooele) Kaiser ? Looks like a very close grained wood, sort of like teak. I was wondering if sanding, sealing with a spar var, and painting over that is a good/bad idea. They appear to have been painted with black/white...

Which way did those repros go and what must one do to gat a hold of it?

Glorisky, Comrades! That was fast. Just can't beat good ole' capitalism! I'll be in touch.

Got the daughter off on the honeymoon and ol' dad is back to work on the deuce! Discovered the missing link in the winch was the piece that connects the winch itself to the driveshaft! I'm guessing it must be a collar combined with a u-joint yoke because the mating end is the other half of...

Thanks Kenny, that's nice to know. Officially, it's a 1970. Unofficially, it's still unknown! RDM is sending manuals on a CD so next week we'll set about finding out where the brakes went. Later

Fred, Just went down that road yesterday! It's a SOB to get to. The hole in the cross member is directly above the filler cap. The breather line on mine took a 3/8 flare nut wrench to loosen the nut on the line. Leave the rt. angle fitting on the cap. The cap has a square 13/16 head under...

RDM, thanks for the offer, the address is on the way. I owe you . Put new 6TLs in and she cranked right up! Ooops, no brakes! After struggling for an hour or so , finally devised a means to get the Master Cyl cap off ( The dash tag says the TACOM approved master Cylinder installed -...

Thanks RDM So far all the data plates look new - in fact the whole truck looks new! Got 4800 miles/350 hrs since Tooele in 8/90. All tires still have inch-long 'feelers' on them! Where's a good place to find docs? I've managed to download and print the MF Operator's Manual and some of the...

Thanks again guys, We looked in all the places for data plates with no luck until we discovered some original parts marked 1970 and it's now official! Fortunately the SF97 had a problem and we got them to redo it and change the date from unknown to 1970 to make it all official! Breathing...

Thanks guys, I'm headed back to the lot now to see if I can get this fixed. Already hit snags with insurance and temp registration because the date is "unknown" But finally got a 30 day permit issued. They would rather have the $25 than correctness! God bless bureaucrats... And they're...

Has anybody investigated the new LED lights for tail. stop. turn. marker, etc.? I wonder if they will work with the existing turn sigal flasher or if that has to be replaced also. I like the idea of replacing headlights with the 24 V Hella halogen...

Hey guys, Kenny was right: Good things come to those who wait! Finally got my deuce after eight months of looking! It's a M35A2 w/ winch, LDT-465-1D went through Tooele Depot Refurb in '90. Got 350 hrs on engine, less than 5000 on Chassis. Hard top, seats, and bows - no canavas. Will pick...

I don't know how the trailer plug is wired or I'd draw you a diagram. You'd need one Zener diode for each trailer light filament and the wattage rating for each would need to be sufficient to handle the current . Since the deuce charges at 28 volts and a regular car electrical system charges...

Fred, In another post somewhere you mentioned you were looking for a way to connect your 12 V trailer lights to your 28 V Deuce. Why not put some 14 V Zener diodes in series with the trailer lights, like maybe in some sort of adapter plug that goes from mil to civi? You'd have to do some math...

Looks like micey-deucey to me... I pulled in to the hunting cabin around midnight one night and awoke the next morning to find the mice had removed enough of my cot pad to build a nest on the still warm IH engine outside! The solid bar type mice/rat poison works well. Just tie one up under...

RDM, Interesting info on painting! I've had excellent results on steel exposed to the weather by cleaning real good and applying 3-M Metal Treat, which I believe is basically phosphoric acid dilute. Primer is optional . A topcoat of plain old X-O Rust enamel has survived almost 20 years of...

I'm sure glad to hear y'all commenting on theat $7500 deuce. I watched and wanted for a month... Added up the cost to go from Dallas to CA and back to inspect it and figured it was a crap shoot! What the heck. I dropped out of the bidding at $5500 thinking somebody was getting basically...

Sounds to me like there may be a market for those chrome freewheelin' hubcaps to fit 20" rims... Maybe some spring-loaded O/D chickens for the dashboard?

I'm just guessing that you described a mounting plate for one of those "Cannon" plug electrical connectors the military is so proud of. As to what specific piece of gear would plug in there - I'll defer to the more experienced!
