Seat of the pants, 10psi isn't much pressure but it's still flow. I doubt the HH will burn up, unless run super high RPM. It'll probably wear slowly, which it may have already. Anyway, I'll get it fixed.
This truck will probably stay together indefinitely. I hate taking things apart and having...
Was wondering how much pressure little aftermarket electric pump put out. Stuck a pressure gauge in the second bleeder port on the filter bracket, 10 psi. High pressure/booster pump is bypassed, just hanging off the side of the IP open. I put my finger over the ports of it with the engine...
Sorry I've been lagging on videos, been busy, mostly working on deuces.
Here's a little of the trash we picked up, left our campsite and surrounding area cleaner than we found it.
I grew up in and now run a big machine and welding shop where building, repairing or replacing frames, tanks/beds, suspension, etc. on semi trucks, etc. is normal stuff. So it's no big deal, just whether I want to fool around doing more work after normal working hours are done, haha...
You like torchin up deuces, don't ya? ;-)
This one is stayin' together at least as an engine test cradle for the time being.
If there's one thing I really don't like about deuces, it's dogbones. If I'm gonna pay money to buy new ends and change them all out, I'd just as soon buy the good...
somebody's not too bright idea I guess. It doesn't get around off-road very good, not as good as the other one. I think it's because those bars bind the suspension. The same two tires in the back opposite each other always spin, and I think maybe it's because of those bars binding things up.
Yeah, I could fix it all up. I have the technology. ;-) Has all the same modifications as my other ex water truck (and more). Way overkill springs in the rear and reinforcements welded on the frame that I don't like. Pretty much everything would have to be removed, corrected or replaced, and...
Fun night with the kids. Looks a lot better now. Pseudo semi truck prerunner thingy. Prerunner because it sits higher in the front...due to the lift blocks which are there to keep the pinion out of the oil pan because the engine is too low.
Lots of ewww in the air tank. Buried up under the...
So much facepalm...this one might run and drive, but I think my '62 is in better shape.
Busted front axle, all the rubber brake lines old and hard lines flopping everywhere, rusted/busted/modified frame and suspension brackets.
The engine is "mounted" about 2" too low. Haven't even looked...
I see yours has the old style A1 lights.
A1s had the beds u-bolted on, hinged rear fender mud flaps, and some other little things different than A2s. You can see them in the A1 thread in my signature line, towards the end of the thread.
I think it's time for a better buttonholderclipthing. I could probably come up with some thing, anyone have a bad HH, button, and clip? I don't want to pull apart either of my "running" trucks.
I know of a guy who stuck his on with jb weld, bad idea in my opinion, I think the button is there to swivel.
I think they fall off because of the plunger sticking from sticky fuel or debris but I dunno...
Subscribing, I need to work on my transes, too.
You can "peen" around the outside edge or face of the bore too, just be careful not to chip off chunks.
