    Airpack modification for towing

    It's pretty simple to hook the brakes together on two deuces for towing. Take the J-pipe off the airpack on the towed deuce, insert male air nipple, then hook the service line on the back of the towing deuce to the airpack. But, that darn J-pipe is a real pain to put back on sometimes. Flared...

    100% used motor oil fuel.

    Wondered what would happen if I used 100% used motor oil(UMO) as fuel. I was done to 2 inches of fuel in the tank(by the way, don't park on hills). That was about 75% UMO. So went ahead and added about 35 gallons of oil, leaving myself enough room to thin it with gas or diesel if it wouldn't...

    Deuce dump in Victor, CO(gasser M47?)

    Saw this while on vacation in Colorado. Looks like it's in a town/county lot, 4th street in Victor, CO. Body wise it's in decent shape. Interior is rough. Didn't look under the hood. Only thing I saw missing was the dump body. The subframe, hoist, hydraulics, and PTO are all there. It's a...

    Bad lift job?

    Saw this on ebay, and to my eye looks unsafe. Would you drive a vehicle with this big of a lift block? http://shortlinks.net/lnw100 Dennis

    Prelube/filter adapter/Mech. gauge

    Been busy this last week! Installed a prelube system. Pulled the oil pan, welded a 1/2 pipe fitting to a large washer, drilled a hole in the pan, then welded the washer to the pan. Pretty proud of myself, one pass with the welder and no leaks! Installed a check valve on the pan, to keep the...

    DUH (brake problem)

    One of those days... When I picked up the M108, it had some broken brake lines. Replaced the brake lines, bleed the brakes. The brakes would come on, but not release. Figured the master cylinder return port was plugged. So the other day, I replaced the master cylinder. It was leaking...

    Findlay, OH Pics

    Got the M108 hauled to the show, just in time to help the trailer ho(citizensoldier) get his motor picked up. Decent show, about 60+ vehicles, and some really rare ones. Got to meet Ida34, citizensoldier, monkeyboy(something like that), and another guy, sorry I forgot your name(really bad...

    Spark problem, oa-331(FIXED)

    The M108 is running on 3 cylinders at the moment. Did a compression check and all but one cylinder is 120 psi, the other is 70, but firing. Check spark and 3 cylinders are dead, 1, 2, and 6. So I install new plugs, change wires, clean distributor, clean points and set. Still three dead...

    (video added)Pulling out semi, car, truck.

    Very busy day yesterday, had about 12-16 inches of snow, and 30 mph winds. Sounds like a perfect day to take a ride in the Deuce! Have to admit, the road crews did pretty good considering. Was a Level 3 out, which means they will arrest you if your out driving(yea, right). Went to...

    Pull deuce oil pan?

    Need to replace the oil pan on a truck, it's all smashed from a forklift. I have pulled the oil pan on my other truck, but was unable to completey remove it from the truck. If I raise the front of the truck so the axle hangs down more, is there enough room to remove the oil pan? Thanks, Dennis

    Gas vs multi. winch shaft

    I seem to remember there being a difference between the winch driveshafts for a gasser or multifuel. Do they swap between trucks? Can I put a gasser winch driveshaft in a Multi truck? Thanks, Dennis

    How fast do you drive your Deuce?

    Guess it depends on personal preference, heard some people run it on the governor all day long, others won't do over 45mph. With the 11-20's, I'll run at 61 mph/2500 rpm all day. Yes, it's a military truck, designed for 45 mph convoys. Yes, the brakes were designed 50+ years ago. On the...

    Brought home some more deuces.

    Been keeping an eye on a couple of parts trucks nearby. They were heading to the junkyard and I grabbed them. Probably paid too much, but there here! Took a pic of all the trucks. At one time, in a galaxy far, far away, I didn't own any MVs. Always thought the 6x6's were cool, so got...
