Is it single our dual circuit brakes?

I'm going back a while to try to create the whole picture. When I recovered my non-running for 6yrs deuce last year, the MC was full and the pedal would go to the floor, reservoir was full and the air-pack would hiss when the pedal was released. I had proper air pressure built up due to...

I've seen four way flashers in use with a deuce. How do you do this?

My first deuce had a "C" turbo and a data plate which stated from memory "Engine must run at less than 1000rpms for 5 minutes on shutdown and startup". My new deuce has a "D" turbo (which I like much better) and doesn't have that plate? I've driven turbo diesels for many years and have...

She starts and runs great since I got the stuck shut-off un-stuck. I can stand outside and start her up immediately without touching the pedal at 38f. Starts and runs at +- 850rpms for around thirty seconds and the she goes to +-1100 rpms. I can tap the pedal and she goes back to +-850rpms. She...

What's it used for?

PO thought old diesel was the problem with it not starting and I saw him put 5gals of gas in the tank with about ten gallons of old diesel in the tank trying to get it to start for the sale. The fuel is clean, Its up to the bottom of the strainer and I can see the bottom of the tank. After...

Tires to dash switches.

It's equipped with a front-end loader and backhoe. I've seen it through a garage door window but not up close and personal. I'll try to get some pics this Friday.

An old friend of mine (Army Reserve LTC) checked out my deuce and joked "that thing will carry a lot more than it's rated for". He is a former enlisted Marine Vietnam vet. He won't say how much. No disclaimer needed as mine will only carry firewood and maybe a few old vets in a parade as far...

I have been on Fleabay looking for a replacement clutch set for my deuce. There are basically three types of clutch-plates according to the pics. One looks like a standard oem clutch for a car. Another is round with six what looks like Kevlar? tabs on it. Another one is not round and has the...

She has a creased door per DRMO by owner. Civvy replacement included. Should I treat it as scrap?

She was driven from DRMO in Montgomery,Al. to Decatur, Al. and parked for five years. We did get her started using a gas drenched rag. Lots of fuel smoke when started but good oil pressure and air pumped up. The fuel is crap and I broke off a Craftsman breaker bar trying to remove the plug from...

It seems like the site kicks me off in the middle of making a post taking more than a few minutes to complete. Sorry about the expletive things but I am asking serious questions and am being as descriptive as I can.

Could I borrow it for or make a lot of pictures and measurements to copy it? Thanks

How do I convert easily?

I just got my newly retired deuce Brush Truck from my local VFD. She has 14+k miles and 475hrs on the meter and ten good tires with a dead spare. Supposedly she has only been on less than ten fire calls in about ten years. I was going to bring her home with the 1200 gallon? tank full of water to...
