That won't work very well because when you crack the bleeder the pedal will start to fall and you need a person in there to maintain pressure. As others have said, do a search here on "pressure bleeder". That is by far the easiest way to bleed the brakes and it only requires one person.

Therein lies the problem with me. Sure, you can buy a cheap tool and take it back if it breaks but when I need a tool I don't need it to be broke. Nothing makes me more angry that to try and start a project ,or worse yet be broke down on the side of the road, only to find out your tools are broke .

I've never bought a tool trailer but I would have sworn it would have required a EUC. I'd go ahead and pick it up but wouldn't be suprised if the contact you sometime in the future and ask you to fill one out and hopfully not make you return it. You should be able to get a sf97. The EUC has...

As with any aucton (online and live) you've got to have buyers and sellers. It's kind of the "chicken and the egg" thing. Buyers won't come if you don't have anything to sell but sellers won't sell unless they have buyers. If you can find a way to get the buyers to come and bid the sellers will...

ECU wait times are all over the place at the moment. I've heard of first time buyers getting it back in a couple of weeks while long time buyers are at 60+ days. My last EUC took 70 days. I talked with my GL rep about it and he didn't have any idea why it was taking so long for some of them. He...

Hobart is the same as Miller. You can open up a Miller and a Hobart of the same model and they are exactly the same. Hobart doesn't offer as many models and are mostly older Miller designs but if you can find a Hobart that you like you can save some money over a Miller. I'd say 99% of HF...

:ditto: If I ever get around to building a bob deuce I'd like to copy the bed design instead of using a shortend deuce bed or a M105 bed. I just like the looks of it better.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the CUCV already had two seperate 12V systems. They combine to charge the 24V batteries but are seperate in every other way. They had a good writeup about they CUCV charging system in the latest issue of MVM.

I didn't know they made such a thing. Looks like that would be the easiest route to go.

Ever since they came out with ABS brakes and you couldn't tap into the hyd system anymore, brake controlers haven't worked well IMO. You couldn't beat the old hyd controlers. The inertia contolers can be hard to get setup right and you've always have to be adjusting them (atleast on the ones...

I'm working on a design of a "air over electric" controler for the deuce. It will consist of a air cylinder and a rheostat that will control voltage to the amount of pedal. I'm having trouble getting the air pressure and output voltage adjusted right but I'll get it worked out.

The only thing that popped out at me was " Has 5th wheel style hitch for easy manuvering". I don't know about that. Anybody that's ever backed a 4 wheel farm wagon knows what I'm talking about ;).

NDT, If you're registered as "former military vehicle" can you do hauling with it? I know some states have restrictions on sepecialty plates.

The best way to think about it is, would you mention a item before auction close that you were bidding on? I know everybody on here knows about GL and watches it every week but stuff still goes unnoticed from time to time. No need to let everybody in on it. I agree that this thread wouldn't...

The main thing I see wrong with the add is the batteries. That is a flat out lie. And the seller knows it if he's been dealing in these as much as he claims. It could be possible that he's just mis-informed on the other false claims in the add but anybody that's ever opened the hood on a CUCV...

Looks like this thread breaks this rule- "• Do NOT post about future or current GL/GSA auctions. You may post about any auction after the auction is closed." Just because you say " You know where" doesn't mean it's not a GL/GSA auction. It is. One of the mods has already commented on the...

Not that I'm aware of. They claim the stuff is a few millon years old already anyway ;-). I've seen WMO that's been stored for many years and it looks just like "fresh" WMO.

While it is true that the military added the turbo to clean up the smoke and not to increase hp, a turbo lets you turn the fuel up for more hp. The non-turbo trucks are already overfueled (that's why they smoke so much). The turbo just gives you more options if you want to mod your truck for...

It's my understanding that all A2s have surge brakes and cucv wheels and tires. Looks like you've got an A1. Does the data plate say A2? If it does it could be that somebody swapped the beds with an A2.

Well if nobody bids they relist the item. If you are the only bidder you get it for $150. I've bought some trailers for $150 but I've never seen a truck sell for that (ie, you will never get a deuce for $150 if I know about it ;)). The big scrap dealers are always watching the auctions and won't...
