The problem with getting used ones is they can look like they are in great shape but fall apart when put into service. You can't tell sometimes by looking at them if they are bad. I'm not saying I wouldn't put a used one on but I wouldn't pay much for it.

I will add that it's a big difference building a high hp engine to pull a sled 300' down the track and building a engine to hold up for road use. Even though the tractor engine is turning high hp and high rpms pulling a massive load, I bet it wouldn't hold up 100 miles down the road at those...

Unless you have a deuce size truck to pull it with, a m105 is really too big. I do pull mine with a 3/4 ton Dodge from time to time but it's only around the farm and just a few miles down the road occasionally.

If I was going to install a belt driven pump I would definitely want one with a electric clutch. You wouldn't want the pump running all the time when you didn't need it. It will heat the oil, wear out the pump much faster, and rob hp with it running all the time.

I know of a local mayor that almost did a very long time in jail for doing this. He was getting all the surplus he could get his hands on for the town. He would keep it for two years and then auction it off. He was making the town a fortune (and may have been padding his own pocket) but the feds...

I've used a steering wheel puller in the past with good results to pull the flange. A little surface rust on the gears won't hurt anything. Bearings are another story. Very much rust at all on a bearing will cause it to fail fairly quick. I think I remember in some of Gringeltaube's post that...

I don't think a belt pump would be any more versatile than pto pump. IMO it's easier to find a place to mount the pump to the pto than it is trying to mount it to the front of the engine. Nothing wrong with a belt pump, I just prefer a pto pump.

Eagle, The problem with cracking water into hydrogen is it takes more energy to make the hydrogen than in produces. I just wish these so called "experts" would quit scamming people with this BS. This whole water into fuel deal has caused many,many people to waste their money. Sure, you can...

I'm in Dickson. You're welcome to come look at mine.

I vote for fuel shutoff. It's the simplest thing to test also.

I'm sure if snakes did produce oil, Wreckerman and some of the others would try and burn it in their deuce. :cookoo:

You can reach in there and feel it. It's been my experience that if the axle is a Rockwell it's got the U-joint style. If it's a Timken axle then it will have the older claw type.

Where's Rolling_Eudaimonia? He knows about lockers. :p

I haven't ever done a complete rebuild but I've had several deuce and 5-ton PTOs completely apart. The broken piece isn't great but you should be ok. I've always taken the eye off by putting a punch through the eye hole and turning the lock nut with a wrench. Don't try and let the shaft do the...

Cheap is a relative term. I bet they still want more for it than you paid for your wrecker. :lol:

If you can get the pits cleaned up, I've filled small scratches and pits with JB weld before and smoothed it back down with some sandpaper. It's not ideal but it will get you by awhile if you get it smooth enough. Also push the valve spools in and out and check for rust there.

My flame heater started leaking on one of my trips. I just kinked the supply line and tied it with some baling wire to get home. After that I took the lines off and capped everything. I haven't ever used the flame heater in TN (I've started the truck in the low teens). You shouldn't have any...

The leak you see on the front tires is more than likely leaking axle seals if the boots are wet. The boots are designed to hold grease in the knuckle but won't hold gear oil if it gets it there. Don't know what the grease is on the brake pedal. Shouldn't be of any concern though. Just clean it off.

I didn't think CARNAC could look up something as old as a M715 but it looks like he found Jeff's. I may post the numbers on my M715 and see if he can come up with something.

Gimpy, I don't know what the price is but plan on spending quite a bit to get it operational. The main thing that concerns me is the pitting on the cyl. rods. The pits will eat the seals up pretty quick. It looks like they've been pretty rough with it moving it around to break all the levers...
