I have a m35a2 with an lds and I/p that didn’t come with a fdc. I went to adjust the fuel screw today and realized it is just a plug, so it appears, instead of a screw with lock nuts. Can I adjust it or what do I need to do? I changed the hydraulic head o rings awhile back because I was gaining...
Anyone else ever decide to swap from pto winch to a 25k sherpa or 18k warn? 99.9% of the time I’m by myself out in the middle of the woods. The couple times I’ve had to winch myself out I think it would of been a 1000 times easier with an electric winch. And I’m usually alone when I need to...
Got the rear end dualed back out with g177’s and 14.5’s on the front. Thanks to TobyS for supplying the 14.5’s and MWMules for hauling them all the way back for me. I like the look a lot better then the singled 11.00’s. Changed my kingpin bushings, checked toe in and milled 5/16 off of the high...
I’m sure this has been asked a million times but I can’t find an answer. When ordering a tube for a 11.00r20 on stock a2 wheels is there a certain valve stem I need? And where a good place to get a flap at? I’m either finding shady foreign websites or nothing.
About to pull all my wheels off again. My current torque wrench doesn’t go high enough and I’m not sold on using my torque multiplier and doing the math and trusting it (the multiplier not my math lol). Any of use run the torque sticks? I’ve used em a lot on cars and trucks and I’ve checked em...
A buddy has a guy wanting to trade a deuce for his street bike. He claims a construction company here in Missouri bought a few of them from the government for the Joplin tornado clean up and he bought one from them. There’s no title just a bill of sale. Any way to title one of them?
My deuce has singled out 11.00r20’s, without hub flip deep dish out. Not sure I like the look. Anyone got pics of one with hub flip from the rear? Trying to decide on flipping my hubs, going back to duals or 395’s.
Stitching is going south in a hurry on my top. Would you guys recommend a canvas or vinyl top? Didn’t know they made both till searching for one. I don’t want shiny if the vinyl is actually shiny like the pics. And any recommendations on where to get one? I usually use big Mike’s motor pool but...
Got Mary out this weekend to start cutting fire wood. She did great getting into where I wouldn’t be able to get my truck without burying it. I built the grapple bucket on the front of the tractor a few years ago. Comes in handy on the tractor and skid steer.
Used to have my m51a1 insured thru Farmers. Sold it then switched everything over to Progressive. Called today about insuring my m35a2. Had to do a commercial policy because it weighs over 12k. $217 a year for liability.
Brung the deuce home a few weeks ago. Took off work this past week to get some stuff done to her. The wife named her Mary on the way home with her. She had named the previous m51a1 Myrtle. Replaced the master cylinder, soft lines, wheel cylinders and adjusted the brakes. Serviced the wheel...
Went to start the truck today after a lot of work and spin on filter kits. Realized the intank pump doesn’t work and it’s not getting power. Double whammy. During my online search for a pump I found a lot of people saying the inline pumps didn’t have the gph to keep the engine happy. Has anyone...
I’m installing my dumpbed kit from c&c and have a hydraulic question but they’re closed. Hoping one of you have done this. One of the 4 orb hydraulic fittings is different. Looks to maybe have a flow restriction built in. Any idea which port it goes to. It’s not in the instructions.
Upgrading to spin on fuel filters and was checking to see if the fdc had been bypassed yet. It appears I don’t have one I think. Should be on the firewall side of the injection pump right behind the hh correct? Is this normal?
It has the lds-465-1a rebuilt in 92 if that matters.
Attempting to pull my front drum/hub to service the bearings and brakes. I’ve pulled the inner and outer nuts and lock ring. The outer bearing won’t pull out and the drum/hub won’t slide off the spindle. Any suggestions?
PO of my deuce singled it out with 11.00 g177’s. He didn’t flip the hubs just ran the rears with the dish pointed in. What’s the downside to the rear not tracking the same as the front? I like the wider stance in the rear. Does it hurt anything to run it like that? Or is there a way to make the...
Brought a m35a2 home today. Seems pretty clean. Gotta do some brake work first but I’m wanting to do a dump bed kit. Is there one you guys would recommend over ordering the eBay one that pops up when I google it?
M51a1 multifuel with the old style Ross system I believe. Power steering has been getting hard to turn. I’m seeing where there’s an oil level to check on the gear box itself besides the reservoir but I cant find instructions. Can anyone help?
