Sure, my cell is 912-682-6299.

You are welcome. There is a post on here from several years ago showing an 818 pulling a payload of over 100000 pounds not counting the trailer. If speed is not an issue you will have no problem. I am a Farmer also in Ga and am very familer with corn harvest. My crop is in the bin and we are...

I think an 818 will handle any weight a regular over the road tractor will. If you are working it on the farm or not many road miles away to the elavator it will do the job. If you are looking for something to deliver grain 100 miles away you need a civilian tractor truck. To get that grain...

When towing a Duece you can't just hook up the gladhands and have brakes. You have to attach an air line to the airpac. I made a fitting for mine that goes in where the air is supplied when you apply brakes. Only takes a couple minutes to remove one line and install the fitting. There are...

Every truck I have bought from the Government the tag office has required a form T-22b, which is a Vin verification by any Police Officer. They have the forms at the tag office or you can download them from online. Take that in and a bill of sale and you should be able to get a tag.

Gimpy if you can get the wires that would be great. Speddom, hope to see you in Ga.

Speddmon, It was your info that allowed me to understand the wiring, without it I would still be scraching my head. Once again, THANK YOU my friend.:-D

Dig Kenny dig, the Rally is not the same without you. I expect to see you there.:-D:-D:-D

Ok, update time. The turn signals are working for now. The 460 -461 wire which supplies 24 volts for the signals was corroded into flush with the plug that screws into the turn signal switch. The cloth wrapping was intact and you could not tell it was broken. When I could not get current...

Speddmon, in my mind I have determined the three lever switch is good. Tomorrow I will run some tests on the truck to ckeck for bad wires. Thanks for your help!! I will post up the results.

I do understand the ground thing, but with the plug unscrewed from the turn signal switch should I not be able to find a hot wire with a multimeter and a ground from the multimeter black prong to a metal surface. I tryied several locations for the ground, some of them shiny metal where I had...

If you are going to sand or spray real CARC read up on its dangers. It is best to use fresh air supplied hoods when working around it. If not then I would keep it wet when sanding and at least wear a very good fitting face mask when spraying.

Thanks speddmon, that is the info I am needing. I will jump 460 and 461 and that should tell me if I have a bad wire as Gimp has suggested. If I get current to them, then the three lever switch must be bad and I will replace it with one I know works to see if that fixes it. Thanks for all the...

The problem is I am not getting any voltage from the light switch to the turn signal switch. The lights worked great when I was towing the Duece and had the lights hooked to the 813. If it was grounds they would not have worked then. I don't think I need to worry about grounds or anything...

I will probably bring some fire wood also., just in case we can't find enough on site.

The turn signals on my Duece have not worked since I returned from the Ga. Rally last year. Its almost time to go again and I am trying to get them working. I have searched the site for info, I have the 5 ton paper manual that covers trouble- shooting the turn signals as well as the CD for the...

Most will run with out the intank pump. Mine was a little slow to start and would not idle until warmed up but then ran fine. Once the pump was fixed it starts right up and will idle instantly.

Have you checked it out completly and know for sure its dead?? There is a post just back a little ways talking about fixing the in tank pump. I have fixed two in the last two weeks and have not had to install a new pump yet. A lot of times it is bad connections that keep it from operating.

I just fixed one of mine the same way. All connections were rusted badly as well as the fuse contact surfaces. Hooked it back up and still did not work. I pulled the pump to inspect and install my spare if needed. This pump had a ground strap form the pump motor to the pump support frame...

Stampy is right, if you can't inspect the truck ahead of time you have no idea what you bought. Even with inspection you can't catch all the problems it may have. Also some Bases will not let you drive the truck off base, it has to be towed or hauled. You have two weeks to get it moved after...
