Okay, the boring back story. I sent one of my crew (I'm new on the job) to buy ten quarts of 30-weight oil for the ranch Case tractor, since there was a half-full quart of SAE30 labeled "tractor" on the shop shelf. Oil filter on the Case was marked 2015. Figured it's overdue for an oil change...

I bought a case of oil from NAPA. Part No. 75-115, D0718H, "SAE30 non-detergent Lubricating Oil." Nowhere on the package or bottle does it say "Motor Oil" or "Engine Oil." Weird. SAE30 means this stuff is okay for an old Case tractor engine, and my Deuce engine, right? Sorry if I'm asking a...

Roger that, to everyone. Even my moustache is sore and achy. I don't have any horses or children with me, so I topped up the Deuce first, then me. I'm now full to the mark with food, water, class-6, and a good cigar. Twelve hours in a motel bed and I hope to feel my age (61) again. Truck is...

Made it from Virginia to Montana, yes-sir-eee. 2634 miles. Thanks to SSG GIBB on the East Coast and Mark Boyce on the West Coast.

How to remove the glue and recenter? Other end looks okay. Found the unopened kit in a bag of spare parts left in utility box by PO. Thanks.

1. Any opinions of Eastern Surplus in Philadelphia, PA? 2. Can I remove the fitting next to the oil-pressure sending unit to run a direct-pressure gauge in tandem with my flaky sender/gauge? 3. Is there any down-side to removing the air can (looks like 6 bolts and and a few easy-to-reach lines)...

Thanks, everyone.

Thanks. I cleaned everything and verified that the horn works when the center wire shorts to the wheel nut, before I made the post. But the cup (aluminum colored in picture 2) does not contact the wire when centered. The center hole is too big. Maybe this kit is for another application, or I am...

Hi, my horn works perfectly. I short the wire that comes up through the steering column to ground (first pic) and the horn blasts (or I simply hear the relay activate, if I don't yet have air pressure). I found a rubber cover and metal shroud in a kit (second pic) that I can't get to work. Am I...

Sailed through DMV with Title, registration, and tags. Passed Virginia State Inspection first try. Thank you, everyone, for your help getting to this day. I am very, very happy.

Geat article! Thanks, DavidWymore. Virginia title lists 1966 Kaiser, VIN: 4J-9001. That's legal, consistent, and good enough for me. I'm gonna finalize the deal tonight and try to register the Deuce tomorrow. Thanks, all!

Roger that, DavidWymore. Will go to air once I locate a T-136-27 air unit. Currently has T-136-21. Tires are all 9.00-20 8-ply (in reply to 98G). In reply to GICaines, 18" aft of steering box frame shows three lines top to bottom (1) 22-2793-L (2) July 14-66 (3) 7529034. Pic attached. I can't...

Seems definitely to be an m35A2, pix of cargo box and whelbase attached. Engine plate (riveted on, unlike model plate in cab which has four sheetmetal screws) is Hercules LD 465-1 (NA, right?). Clearly there's a turbo to be seen in pic, and I heard the unmistakeable whistle. Turbo perhaps added...

The plot thickens. May be an M35A2 with homemade plate and added-on turbo.

Thanks, all, for the welcome and advice. I'll get pictures of truck once the sun comes up, and learn how to post them. If I drop the input shaft to the sprag transfer case, truck is okay to drive at 40-45 mph, right? Working with seller today on brake lights. Hope to get Virginia tags/inspection...

Thanks, gringeltaube.

T-136-27 2.5 Ton Air Shift Transfer Case is what I need for the M275A2?

Thanks, Winfred. Anyone know where to get an air-actuated (name?) transfer case? I'm competent to do as Winfred says, but I may be old-and-tired enough that I prefer to pay to have it done, instead. Cargo racks/tarp, too. I had to fabricate everything I needed for my 1948 International KBS-6...

P.S., glcaines, I was a Dogface, too.

Thanks. I was ARMY (19D cav scout) in 1980s-90s, got out once Desert Storm was over. All our Deuces were air-shift. Today here on SteelSoldiers is the first I have ever heard of Sprag. Soooo, is the Sprag a deal-breaker? What is involved in converting to air-shift? I agreed on terms with the...
