Gomer Pyle's famous words. Today I was out crawling around under the wrecker. Had my son tripping the switch to see if the brake lock works. To my suprise, the solenoid is working. Anyway, while I was gawking at the hacked up wiring I had a looksee at the transmission PTO. 52 years of scum makes...

Gang, just wanted to share another tip and resource with you guys. Some of you may have hear of him but the great RAM of Barton VT is an avid collector of many decades. He has some cool stuff and barns of parts. I emailed him Monday about an alternator conversion harness. I've known him to have...

OK gang, I'm about to let you guys in on one of my somewhat secret sources. First have any of you seen the decon kits that fit in the Jerry Can mount? I have one that I bought. It has a 3 gallon heavy plastic jug with a hose, hand pump, wand and brush all in a convenient box. It doesn't emit a...

For some reason, my first post is not accessible by anyone. Anyway, here goes. Today I was outside messing around with the wrecker. I took out an extra mechanical oil pressure gauge to double check oil pressure or lack thereof. Installed the gauge and cranked the engine (no plugs/compression)...

Its funny how things work out. I was outside a bit ago fooling around with the wrecker. I took out an extra mechanical oil pressure gauge to try cranking it to see if I get even the slightest amount of oil pressure. Negative results, matter of fact, even with no gauge and cranking it very fast...

Heres the place I got my wrecker. Click on the link for a few pics. http://photobucket.com/albums/v460/Recovry4x4/ Click on the Henry Hawthorn album.

Well gang, I've got good news and I've got bad news. First the good. The M108 is off the tractor and on the ground. It runs a little rough on th e 5 yr old (or more) fuel but it runs. All apsects of the crane work as well. Worked everything and rewound the hoist drum. Now the bad news. I have no...

Just got home. Dead tired! Here's one little pic to gander at. Kenny

I've used the search function extensively but can't find the results. Does anybody have the part numbers for the Napa wiper and arm for the deuce. I bought one a while back and need to buy a few more. They work great but I just can't find the numbers. I think the arm kit was 60-750 and the blade...

Well gang, it looks like my M756A2 project truck might be headed to the scrap heap. Between the lack of funds, time and patience, I might part ways with the thing. I found a deuce wrecker thats got my interest and dulled my enthusiasm in the pipeline truck. Another factor is there are a few...

Where's everybody at?

Todays order of the day is figuring out circuit breakers. I was studying the schematic and didn't find a circuit breaker for the headlights. The ones on the firewall are for the horn relay and the aux circuit. I ran out to the tractor and checked the wiring numbers on the breakers. Both were fed...

Hey gang, I just picked up the cold weather cover (gas mask) or the grill of my deuce. Anybody have a source for whatever hdwe is required for the proper installation? Kenny

Hey gang, if anybody in the midwest is interested, there is a Neal Tranny hoist coming up at GL in KY. I've got one and it's pretty cool. http://cgi.govliquidation.com/auction/view?id=619123&convertTo=USD
