Karl, you could T an temporary air line and extra tank capacity with push lock fittings at a strategic location for increasing your volume. If it solves the problem, make it permanent. I'm wondering if you have a bunch of leaky brake diaphragms. The 5 ton takes T-12 for service and T-16 for...

Is the same as my 817....it really looks good and gives some room in the front...very nice. The other A3 (that I sold) had the steel hood with extender strips. I could see using the 809 series instead. The oem early A3 hood was rusting and dented...needed replaced

Hank....yea that's quite a machine....I like it a lot. My A3 will be a lot like it but on 395's. I spent some time looking for one that had the spare behind the cab and there are not many of them. Your's is the first I've seen...but I know more guys have to have done it. Yea, I understand...

Here are a couple sources of 2-2-2-4 al. https://www.wireandcableyourway.com/2-2-2-4-dyke-underground-secondary-distribution-cable.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMInai5lsD02wIVgh9pCh3glg-IEAAYASAAEgK7fPD_BwE https://www.homedepot.com/b/Electrical-Wire-Service-Entrance-Wire/N-5yc1vZc578 Buy a bit...

You would have less voltage drop and it would be cheaper with underground aluminum triplex. I just looked and a direct burial 2-2-2 was just over a $1 (some have with ground, some you need separate ground) for three wires (triplex). The only reason for going to larger wire is that it's used...

I kinda like the plan A....it looks good as-is in post 39. But if you need the carry capacity, that changes things. What would you use for the cover, sides and top? I could help a lot (with the steel for your press) if we were closer and you have the bed(s) I want...so Murphy's law strikes...

Hope it doesn't bother you guys, I like to talk it out before I do the work. I'm too old to waste physical effort. The rack on the top is cool, it's just a bit heavy, maybe better suited to a M105 with a built in ladder. The rest of the frame on the 101 looks very nice, are you thinking...

Is your design staying the same as post 39? It looks good. Will you have a custom canvas made (or maybe do the fit yourself)? From the sound of it, you are giving up on the top rack, having wrestled with it and lost. You might consider expanded metal for support under the canvas and a few...

Maybe that is why, when they designed the A3, that the engine is forward.

Thanks Wes. So is the Allison 545. Hmmmmm. I have a short bus with one behind a IH 345 gas. I was planning on getting it out, so that is good to know. I'll have to look and see if it has the PTO ring, it does have the 6 bolt plate.

For a while I followed Zoche Aero diesel. I saw the radial, highly turbocharged, 2 cycle DIESEL at Oshkosh many moons ago and it seemed like the radial was coming back. I see they still are making them: http://www.zoche.de/...

Is the 1800 what would have been in a B-17? My dad would like a lamp made from one like he flew in. Wanna sell one?

I was thinking about my A3 having an Alison automatic, with the PTO ring and began to wonder if anyone has installed an Allison auto transmission in an older deuce, the A1 or A2 years. Is the tranny mount on the multi-fuel an "SAE" flange and flywheel? Is the bolt pattern on the crank...

Follow the line up from the head on your compressor. That line operates the valve inside of the compressor head and when there is pressure on the line, it keeps the intake valve from going closed, thus regulates pressure made at the pump. If that valve is stuck, it makes the pressure go high...

I made a hitch that uses the pintle from my 929 and attaches to the Reece receiver. It doesn't have as much leverage as the one Wes posted but it has made the receiver loose and now it clangs and bangs with any hitch in it. I'd keep the leverage down a bit if I had the choice.

Karl, I don't have a 977 but it sounds like the problem I had with my 5 ton air pressure control valve that unloads the compressor (making it not build air). It had water and debris in the line and needed major lube with Marvel Mystery Oil at the compressor. I had to disassemble the control...

Sold my 37" Bajas and ended up with 2 35" and 2 37" tires. Will have to get a couple more 37". About to put deuce bed on frame.

Had a piece of aluminum expanded metal that I made one from for the 817 to keep the big stuff out of the radiator.

It looks like a straight, nice trailer, worth preserving and handy size. Have you read the Behr paint threads? It would be a perfect candidate for some rust prep, red oxide primer and olive drab Behr Ultra (Home Depot). Brush and roller work great. I like flat black Rustoleum (Lowes) for the...

Nice score. It looks like it uses a standard deuce 6 lug wheel.
