Anyone know? I have a customer looking for one for his hay truck. Talked to the factory and they don't know when they'll have more. Thanks!

I never did work on it any more, got distracted/busy/weather is hot, etc. I found out one of my ag customers has one they use for a water truck and he looked at mine and said it looked like everything is there except the fuel lines are plastic/cracked. He said replace 'em and fire it off...

I'm ready, sooner the better.

This is fantastic. I missed it again. Haven't been hanging around cuz I'd pretty much given up on getting a deuce and then one dropped in my lap so I'm hanging around again only to find out I'm too late. Fail. :x Well, anyway since this is a SoCal thread might as well say howdy and I...

Well, crawled around on it and couldn't figure out what was what and what went where due to all the gunk so I pressure washed it but haven't had a chance to do anything else. Starting to get the fuel system, figuring out the electrical mess is next...then maybe I'll try firing her off.

I'm gonna be shopping for parts soon probably.

OK, doing better now, the old forum has lots of good info and found the WIKI. We might have vroom vroom tonight.

Will do. I forgot to get pics of the move. Doh! These TMs aren't very reader friendly. Is there anything else for info out there, fuel sys basics?

OK, got it to the shop. A cummins 5.9 does move a deuce around OK. :wink: Now to study the fuel sys, drain it, try to get some fresh to it. Been sittng a few years...

I'm more concerned with all the stuff I'm not familiar with under the hood.

Yeah, I noticed the "reinforcements", which is why I took the pic. I'm pretty familiar with ins and outs of frame welding, I run a machine and weld shop. This isn't very impressive but I'm not too worried about it. Main concern is, wheat are the frames made of? Mild steel or T1 or something...

All I have is a number stamped on the frame in the driver's wheel well towards the front, about 1/2" tall letters, hard to read. In no hurry, newby just lookin for info that might help me figure out what I've got and get it runnin'. Thanks! 222793L9T

...so I need to go buy somehthing to decode my vin/ser?

I thought those springs were odd, but couldn't think what exactly they were supposed to look like. As far as mods, well, we're gonna use it for a water truck, so it is what it is. I know it's not as cool as al original mil but at least it's a deuce and I can drive it around the yard and...

Now I'm itching to drag it over to the shop and put juice to it.

The price is right and the deuce is a little better than I expected. Has turbo, tank actually not too rusted out. Front axle is Rockwell, should have U-joints, right? Looks like it's been conv to 12v? I didn't think to take a pic of the starter. :roll: No data plate but got the numbers...

Like yer thinkin' m16ty. I'm thinkin' the same. Pics are uploading, I will let them speak for themselves.

When I looked at it before I was guessing by looking at it that it was old enough to be a gasser which I was hoping for simplicity's sake but I think I saw an injection pump. Probably not a piece of cake to get running again eh?

Ole cruddy water truck (which we need at the shop, hence the excuse to get it) :-D but it's so old and cruddy I wonder if it's worth messing with. :oops: What and where should I look for to see what I'm in for? I'll take pics and post 'em for the experts. Disclaimer : I'm newish to deuces but...
