    Deuce moving disabled M816

    Even wreckers don't like towing wreckers. They are heavy and only want to go in a straignt line and tend to not want to stop. Doing any of the above mentioned things with a deuce is asking for trouble. Always use the same size or larger truck for a tow vehicle. Use tow bars and chains and air...

    Can daytona spoke hubs be converted to 10 hole BUDD?

    You're dreaming. You have to change the whole hub,brake drums andthen buy the budd wheels. Stick with the dayton hubs. You can get tubless rims and tires cheaper that going through all the expense of changing over.

    M813 Loadout

    Yes, It sounds like a fuel filter problem. Change the filters and make sure the primary filter isn't filled with water. I think you can cancel an air leak in the system cause a 250 won't even start with air in the system. If you can get it ideling, then I would look at the filters.
