Thank you, my first reaction, as well, was that. I wondered if standards were slipping a bit. ;)

On down shifting, you need to blip the throttle when double clutching. Sometimes it is enough just to blip the throttle as you pass through neutral without raising the clutch, since there might be enough drag on the clutch disk to let you spin the input shaft a little faster. Going uphill (up...

Anything can be put into anything else with sufficient fabrication, effort and funding. Personally, my opinion is that it is a step backwards to give up multifuel capability. But my opinion matters not at all if your circumstances are such that you are better off with that other motor.

This is a nice thing about a bobber: you can install a lot of stuff that would be out of place on a regular Deuce.

Well, I guess that the last place those pieces could have come from is the gear train at the front of the motor - or - just some junk left behind as a result of sloppy workmanship way back when.

I was once soldering upside down and a big glob of molten solder dropped off - and right into my eyeball. Molten solder might not be as manly as molten slag or molten steel, but it does hurt in your eye. Plus, you get to hear the sizzling as the glob freezes.

A field expedient locker! Clever. I believe an issue is how well the spiders are welded. I understand that sometimes the weld can fail. Perhaps that only happens with slim shady weld jobs. I assume you would weld/hub your rearmost axle.

Agreed, with your clarification, that unit will work. Adding the extra air tank will help. BTW, my air compressor is from the 1940s and it still works just fine. It's a big horizontal unit with an old-fashioned GE 5 horse electric motor. The motor is twice the size of what it would be today...

Blast what? A wheel? Yes. Radiator grill? Yes. Bumper or firewall? Yes, but with a coffee break or two. A frame or body? No.

Don't worry about the copyright issues, just don't do it! U - G - L - Y. Actually, F - U - G - L - Y.

And to the person who asked how tar or tar-like substances can work underneath, including to reduce sound, the answer is pretty good. But application is messy and the truck will mark its spot with drips of tar for a long time. For these reasons you are better off with plain old undercoating (POC).

You can get the tar out with a heat gun and a putty knife. And a set of Tyvek coveralls. And time. Don't light the tar.

This sounds like a deal you should walk away from without looking back. Here's why: From your questions, it does not sound like you are an expert on these vehicles. That is not a criticism, just an observation. The seller is either similarly uninformed or a sharp character (the 'golly gee...

Personally, one of the appeals of these vehicles is that they have little dependence on an electrical system. I would rather see all those flappers and valves controlled by cables and levers.

Cool as it is, it is better suited to on-road than off-road if loaded heavily with that spread, because the of weight transfer to either axle as the pintle of the towing vehicle goes up and down.

Nailed it, LOL.

Another idea - maybe you can create a wagon style steerable front axle out of Deuce parts. On the Rockwell, mill off the top of the pumpkin so that you have a completely flat surface up top. Attach a 5th wheel from a tractor. Attach the pin to the bottom front of the trailer. Now you have a...
