    Timing gears noise?

    Howdy One one of my engines makes a pretty good racket in the front end. Haven't seen it mentioned before, others run into it? Thanks

    Head bolt torque

    I assume on a non TD block if the head bolts are over torqued, the top of the head deforms or the threads pull. Does anyone know? I wonder if it would help to put keen sert or time serts in the head to increase the amount of cast iron the fastener is pulling on. Are studs for TD blocks longer?

    Groundhopping

    Got 3 engines to test. Think I might hook a radiator up and run enough to get up to temp and make sure the booster pump isn’t making oil. Check Water pump for leaks. Replace oil lines on bottom of IP while it’s out. Delete intake heater supply. Check oil pressure…what else?

    PTO powered hydraulic pump for...everything?

    Seems like a “wet kit” might be the handiest thing to have on a deuce. A hydraulic winch seems better than pto, and you can do a dump bed, log splitter, hoist, mini backhoe, plow, etc. with it...thoughts?

    How to repair wire from lift pump to fuse holder?

    On my ‘70 : Thinking I might pull the stainless sheath back. Cut the wire. Machine the wire out of the threaded steel bulkhead fitting, maybe open up to fit small diameter fuel hose to seal and insulate the wire. Splice new submersion rated wire on with submersion rated heat shrink tubing. Pull...

    Rear winches - how are they powered/operated?

    I have what I think are two M50 water truck rear PTOs, but doesn't seem like they would work for a winch.

    Got another deuce! (Dropside!)

    Runs and drives, needs a little TLC. A buddy trailered it home for me. Little bent up from being offroaded. Maybe swap the dropside bed with my nice truck and resell this one, or sell my nice one and fix this one up for me.

    Got another deuce! M50 saved from the scrapper.

    Tank got scrapped but I got the truck. The question is what next? Some bonehead cut the batt cables so I’ll fix that and put batts in it. Gotta clean out the tank. Suppose I could slave fuel and batts off the ‘70. But what about the shutoff cover being left off? Dare I try to clean it out and...

    Parts truck

    Howdy. I'm an M35 guy. I just heard there's a CCKW locally that's being threatened with the scrap yard. I don't have interest in myself, but wanted to put it out there. It's rough, doesn't have a bed, and may have a Ford engine and stickshift in it...thoughts? Hope to go see it Saturday. Thanks

    Michelin 12.00-20s from Canada.

    I have 4 of these tires, thinking about getting more. Has anyone dealt with the seller of Canadian military tires? How difficult or expensive is it to get them across? Thanks
