I did a quick search but didn't really see any recent threads that had what I wanted. Need opinions of the best, most cost effictive batteries to use for a Deuce. Mine are dead, dead, dead, and I need to get it running ASAP. Need something strong and realiable that won't break the bank. Any...

What is a 2 1/2 inch spring lift? I was planning on an air bag rear suspension so lifting the rear is no harder than stock height. If I could get away with 2 1/2 inch lift and the front wasn't a big deal to fabricate, I just might have to use my 53's.

Is a 4" lift enough. I decided against using the 53's I bought because I was told that I needed an 8" lift. Since I haven't been able to sell the tires I might reconsider if a 4" works??

I hope to be able to make it but unsure if it will be possible. Have some M37 parts I need to sort through and maybe drag my 53" Michelins along just in case. Is there a web site available with information on fees and such?

I believe that you could use the 105 springs with the same hangars as the Deuce front springs or make your own duplicates. Wouldn't that eliminate the need to stack frames or to use lift blocks? I wanted to use a shortened drop side for mine but couldn't find one so ended up with a M105...

THe problem seems to be proximity. I had some interest but don't have a way to remove it other than to drop it on the ground and it isn't currently licensed to drive it someplace to have it removed. Mine has been damaged on both rear corners so I decided it would be worth more as a ground...

I tried to find a buyer for my 185 box with no luck either. I have decided to drop it off out behind the barn and use it for operting the fuel ethanol still I am building and for the WMO centrifuge. Keeps the potentially dangerous and messy operations out of my garage and barn.

It has been a few years since I had my old Dump Truck licensed as farm/log but I thought there were some pretty restrictive requirements for where you could drive. Seemed to me that it was between the fields you were working and a limited drive distance. What are the current restrictions for a...

Been doing a little research on this myself. This is what I get from the state website: When is a blenders license required? The Department is currently licensing only those who are blending a taxable product with an untaxed product. These licensing requirements could change if the department...

The one I was most interested in was a Freedom Fueler with heater and drywash which retails for almost $4500. The guy was taking a big loss but from what I am seeing here it is still not worth messing with. I will stick with Plan A which is to build a centrifuge set up and just run the oil...

The one I was looking at was a complete purchased 40 gal unit including dry wash, 200-300 gals of WVO, and was advertised at $1000. There is another one closer that is 80 gals without the dry wash but it is $1200. Both sell online for over $4000. One lost interest and the other sold his...

Thanks for the insight. Hard to believe people are spending so much on Biodiesel processors if it doesn't work any better than just burning the WVO. The deuce I understand being that it is multifuel but I didn't know that other diesel engines ran as well on WVO as biodiesel.

I ran across a pretty good deal on a Biodiesel processor and 300 gals of WVO. I have been investigating alternative fuels and was wondering if there are advantages to making the WVO into Biodiesel or if I would just be better off with a centrifuge and running filtered WVO or WMO mixed with...

So how long did it take you to get out. Looks like you were digging through the snow pretty well (at least down).

Just missed out on 500 gallons of free WMO because I didn't have anything to store it in. What are you using to transport your oil when you collect it and where is a good place to pick up reasonably priced tanks?

Dennis, Thanks for the response. I will look at some of the pictures available and see what I can come up with. It sounds like a fun project on the lathe so I think I may play and see what happens. I was thinking that a belt drive might be better than direct drive also. Greg

Could you give details on the building of the centrifuge. I have been thinking about building something to process WMO as I have a potential supply of relatively clean oil that I would love to use in my Duece. Commercial centrifuges are a big pricey given the amount that I would use.

I had assumed 60/40 so not too far off. So if you assume 2 ton load capaility the GVW would be just shy of 16000# and the weight using the front springs on the back would be just about right. I got a good deal on a set of new airsprings that are rated for 8000# so they are going to be way over...

When you say that below 26001 LBS you need a Chauffers license, I assume that is if it is used comercially? Never heard of having to have a Chauffers License for personal vehicles. When I titled my Deuce (Which will be bobbed with a M105 bed) they didn't know what to put down for body style...
